oops

Something I rarely see covered with lifters is natural dialogue. What are the things you say to your partner and how natural does it come off?

Remember, you are an actor when you lift, and the scene you’re playing is a normal shopper hanging out with friends.

Now what does that look like? You talk to your friends loudly and excitedly, the dialogue you have tends to be non- secretive or inconsequential, for example, “god I hate my job” or “omg I’m completely in love with Steve”. This is seen as normal by retail workers and others in the store.

Now imagine if you start to whisper, look around scared and paranoid, or begin to talk about lifting subjects openly? This is NOT normal and will get people’s eyes on you. The way you interact with friends CANNOT be awkward or unnatural.

Dropping your excitement and voice as soon as you get to the changing room, being unable to answer the retail worker in a natural way, or attempting to avoid retail workers at all cost is very unnatural. You will get someone to look at you and wonder what’s happening.

In fact, sometimes you don’t need to say anything to your partner when the help is being provided. Yup, you heard me. Is your partner holding clothes for you outside the change room that she’ll sneakily give to you? Don’t add unnecessary dialogue, open the door, your partner knows what you want (the retail employee will simply assume they didn’t hear the initial convo). Is your partner nodding at you? Don’t need to say a word, go grab that other item without prompting. Is your partner handing you a new item randomly? Most likely they want you to lift it for them, don’t need for them to tell you to get it. Not all things need to be verbalized, when the illegal action is going down, stay quiet. Have your partner already intuitively aware of what’s happening and keep the natural “Steve is so cute” conversation going without missing a beat. That natural convo is your misdirection, stopping the flow of it will jeopardize your lift.

Remember: dialogue, excitement, and warmth needs to stay the same within the store, when the illegal stuff is happening do not prompt with unnecessary words “can you grab me another size?” etc., just expect your partner to know through gestures. You can drop the act once you leave.

What you're going to need:

Fake email (don't use your personal info!!)

Expensive products from stores that sell skincare (Bath & Body Works, The Body Shop, Lush, Sephora, etc..)

Random address (only Bath & Body Works asks for this)

Phone number you're comfortable using

Photo of a fake rash (the one I used is below)

Photos of the products you're using to scam

A piece of paper with the fake email you're using written on it

I got this idea from another lifter, basically what you do is you lift some expensive shit from stores that sell skincare or makeup that is their own brand (Sephora or Ulta has their own makeup brands). Next you email customer service and tell them you got chemical burns from their products and you attach a photo of the chemical burns and a photo of the products along with the fake email you're using written on a paper (this is just to make you're lies more believable and to prove you actually have the product).

Customer service will most likely ask to speak with you directly on the phone. When they call you have a fake story ready (I told them I wore their products to homecoming and then I got a horrible rash). Bath & Body Works asked me for my address and zipcode so find a random address in your city and just use that. After you're done talking and you tell them your lies, they'll most likely email you with a gift card worth the same amount as the product that "burned" you. I've done this several times with different emails and different products and I've gotten like $150 worth of gift cards. If you want to scam you some free shit I attached the fake photo of the rash I was using so you can use it too.

All stores case build.

Sorry. But if you’re sloppy and present evidence, or else conceal on film, they will remember you. Such details as the name you respond to, your outfit, physical description, photos, and comment on the tactic you used to steal which particular item will be posted in the employees’ back room and sent out to sister stores.

Hey there (:

You want to lift small things? Use sleight of hand, what i do is wear something with loose sleeves that hide my hands a bit and i take two of the item I want i look at it(checking it for tags) and put one back. I usually take a few steps and look at something else and brush my hair behind my ear or scratch my nose (just a movement to make the item you want fall in your sleeve.) then open your bag and rummage a bit in it, dropping the item there and take out your phone (so it made sense you were rummaging in your bag lmao) and check the time on it or something like that if you want to lift something else at the same time in the same store keep your phone in your hand and take another item in the same hand and put your phone and the item in your bag.

If you are afraid of getting caught dont let it show because lp will think “shoplifter” if you act all nervous

them, shouting so loud the entire store can hear: HEY LOOK AT HOW COOL THAT IS ARE YOU GOING TO STEA-
