The second picture is a pinhole camera without a specific lense attatched to it. Do you see that little cone shaped thing on the first picture? That’s the lens.

Pinhole cameras can be even smaller that that hunky box thing, they can even be wireless.

See how tiny? See how wireless? You know where these are? Plants, furniture, and displays in stores, potentially even mannequins. 

Now to some cameras you’re probably seen and didn’t even know they were cameras!

I bet you have all seen some variation of this thing around and didn’t even know that they were a camera! Maybe a motion sensor device? These little guys take a photo up to every 1/100,000 if you aren’t into photography that’s a very fast shutter speed. A normal camera usually goes up to 1/250th of a second. The live feed from those pinhole cameras updates every 1/100000th of a second creating a constant HD feed for loss prevention to look over at their leisure. I know for a fact that my American Eagle has the little white pinhole cameras and I have seen them around. Now to how do they layout these cameras? 

Once upon a time I had a post on my old blog queen-city-lifter that had a picture of a section of Hollister’s store with the pinhole camera placement. Some idiot employee left it unattended and out on the counter for any impressionable and curious youth to look at. So I took a picture and studied it obviously. I hope one day you can be as lucky.

In short, recognize pinhole cameras and know what stores use them. Stores will typically not mix dome cameras and pinhole cameras. But always be on the look out.

How to Remove a Gator Tag Video

Here I show you what the inside of a gator tag looks like and how to silently and easily remove them. I use nail clippers in the video, but I recommend using pliers when the plastic casing is still intact. 

2 years into lifting: Eh, I can pass on this

This is a list of what I think an efficient lifting purse should be like. Keep in mind that thoses are just suggestions. 

1. The damn thing : the purse

When you pick out a lifting purse, you need to think about two things, how others see it and how convenient it is.

1.1 How others see it

-Your purse shouldn’t be too flashy. People (including LP) will look more at a bright pink purse than at a brown one.

-Don’t go for the big black MK purse either. Stores know about the lifter-black purse thing  and they’ll probably watch you more if they see you walk in with a big black purse.

- The purse itself should be a purse. Not a backpack, not a fanny pack. Nothing that would be suspicious and weird to carry in a mall. If you don’t have a purse that fit those criterias or you’re a guy and don’t carry a purse, I would suggest using a bag from a store that’s close to where you’re lifting. It’s not as convenient as a good lifting purse, but it’s way less sus.

1.2 How convenient it is

- Your purse should be structured (it should hold it’s shape). A structured purse doesn’t look any different when it’s full. You don’t want LP to be able to tell that you came in with an empy purse and left with a full one. If your purse isn’t structured you’ll have to use the Ziploc method and it can get pretty annoying.

- Your purse shouldn’t have a wide opening. The idea with this is that you can keep it open at all time to slip things in easily but LP  can’t easily see what’s inside.

- Your purse should have small pockets inside. Your can keep your lifting tools hidden and organized in thoses.

2. What is inside it (your lifting tools)

**You don’t have to have all of these tools, they’re just ideas.

- If you want, you can place a sweater at the bottom of your purse to keep metal objects from making noise when you drop em in your purse.

- Booster cup if you wanna take tags with you (This is the safest option but make sure to use the cellphone method to test out your booster cup before)

- Magnet and hook (hide those as much as you can because you can get arrested for having those on you)

- Hairties, cards, condom or whatever you use to take off gator tags.(The condom has the added advantage of protecting you from STDs tho)

- Scissors and sewing kit (useful when you don’ have a magnet or hook : just cut a hole where the tag is and sew the clothing back up)

- Something sharp like tweezers or a pen to peel off RFIDs and soft tags if you have short nails.
