"quick post to spread some info! i haven’t seen any posts on here with a complete breakdown of all types of security cameras you may encounter… well, this isn’t it either, but there are a couple that you should be able to recognize if you dont want to get caught. many stores use these covert cameras- i frequently see the speaker and motion sensor cams. please be careful everyone!!!"

I don’t collect stamps.

*Okay.* I’ve had quite a few people ask me about my methods for hiding tags. I don’t hide tags. I take them with me.

Pictured above are fewer than a quarter of the tags we’ve collected over the course of a couple months since we’ve gotten our magnet in the mail. We’ve gotten RFIDS, a slew of super tags we disposed of (they’re very large and not practical to keep), ink tags, golf tags, pencil tags, you name it. I didn’t beep taking ANY of these tags with me. Not once!

I’ve easily carried ten plus tags into a store and not made a sound. Dozens of times. Left with a concealed tag a hundred times without beeping.

What I’ve done is layered a Ziploc container in THREE layers of foil, individually taping each one. Make sure the top has the same amount of foil too! Nothing should be left uncovered! This will counteract the tag detection of the towers.

Everything I’ve read online has suggested using more foil, some people even say to use ten to twenty layers. Seriously? We’ve used three. I haven’t beeped at American Eagle, Express, Abercrombie, Aritzia, Garage, Cleo’s, Ann Taylor, Urban Outfitters, J Crew, Adidas (walking in with a bunch of tags), Payless, just to name a very short few off the top of my head.

You can use any container you’d like! Make it non-suspicious! We haven’t gotten around to making a better one yet. Put the foil on the inside! Make it invisible!

I detag in the dressing room, and place tags in the container. This stops the beeping, I can abandon the container if need be, it’s less likely to be noticed by employees and doesn’t make any crinklimg sounds at all! If you’re taking tags anyway, you have a magnet. So just detag in store. Don’t bother wrapping your whole bag. Waste of time and way more suspicious.

With this method, my suggestion would be go in with your little tinfoil container, with a sandwich inside, go into a dressing room and detag something but don’t actually take the item. Just detag, put the tag in or under your sandwich in the container, and put your magnet somewhere on your body. If you beep, even if they follow you or whatev, they’ll search your bad and find nothing; even your tinfoil is just part of how you pack your lunch for work. 

And I would recommend doing this test run on whatever nice, new store in your area seems to have the strongest, newest towers. 

might seem so obvious but as the school year starts PLEASE don’t go out and lift in your uniform (school/work), any clothes that have your school or sports teams on it, etc.

I was so nervous holy shit lol made sure to conceal in a dressing room and not on camera btw

Any tips on how to calm your nerves or atleast look composed? I tried to look calm but I feel like I looked skittish? Employee asked to check my bag on the way out but sometimes they do that there. Anyway I let them and was cleared cause this was underneath stuff from a different store ;)
