Can you still dine and ditch and not get caught?

Yes and no. It depends. If you're talking about really sneaking out without paying, then absolutely not. But that's a crime, and almost anyone with any amount of expertise in human affairs should know that. However, what a lot of people don't realize is that there are no legal requirements for businesses to create all of the media and documentation around payment and service that they do. If you go in with a fake credit card, you can get a receipt, but the receipt you receive is a separate issue from being able to skip out. You can give a fake name, a fake address, and even a fake driver's license, but the restaurant still has to give you the goods for which you've paid. However, a customer who creates a false identity to deceive a business by billing them for a service they have not actually performed, can be held criminally liable for that deception.
