Yeah, sure. Nobody would ever notice the truck with the coolant tank in front of the building and the frozen pipes running in ;). Here in Berlin they freeze the ground to make excavations in places with high ground water, that looks the same.
To be honest - law enforcement could pull that off. But that's not the threat model that this is supposed to counter.
But yeah, you're right - this isn't gonna happen. I'd worry more about a home below floodplain taking on water.
