Depends on how big and how dense the crowd is I'd guess. If you can see
less of each individual face you are less likely to recognise anybody.
So in big crowds, or lots of people packed tightly together of if you
are some distance away you are not likely to recognise.
It also depends on how much you -want- to restrict people recognising
each other. It might be more convenient to the players

I think anybody should be able to try to hide in a crowd. And have a fair
chance of success, depending on the crowd of course. Somebody who trained
at being a thief on the other hand should be much more likely to be able
to -move- through a crowd without drawing attention. And of course some-
body trained at catching thieves should be more likely to spot you hiding
or moving through a crowd.
