1) sensormatic tag: don’t know the exact tag name but ik that’s a sensormatic and that one requires a hook.

2) sensormatic tag: hook

3) sensormatic: magnet

4) sensormatic: hook

5) sensormatic pencil tag: hook

6 & 7) gator: magnet or rubber band/hair tie

8) clam/UFO: magnet

9) some kind of sensormatic: magnet

10) these fucking suck and idk what they’re called but they require a lot of twisting and tugging and maybe a magnet? Not completely sure. You can probably cut the wire but idk if that’ll trigger an alarm. It depends

11-16) pencil tags: magnet

17) clam tag/dome tag: magnet

18-23) clam/dome: magnet

🕸🕸🕸🕸🕸🕸🕸🕸🕸🕸🕸

**an easy way to remember types of tags and removal is this:

•the more rectangular, thin, vertical ones are pencil tags

•the ones that are flat and rectangular with a small hole on the side and are curved are for hooks

•dome shaped tags and square shaped tags and tags with those bumps on them are for magnets. They’re magnetic and held together with a pin that the magnet pulls off

•those ugly yellow ones that have the little pyramids are gator tags and require bands of some sort and a magnet helps

•most ink tags (not pictured in this post but will say ink tag and be clear and have visible ink in them usually) require magnets but sometimes bands

Honestly unless you lifted like 5k worth of stuff, don’t worry about anyone actually coming after you. When someone finds that packaging, they might report it to lp who might then look back at the cameras and try to find who grabbed that item and walked to that area. If they manage to figure out it was you, they’ll try to pull a pic of your face and pass it around to employees. If someone manages to recognize you next time you come in, they might get lp to pull you aside and try to trick you into a confession. Unless they can prove beyond a reasonable doubt that you did steal that item, never ever admit to anything ever. Demand to see the footage if need be and if they show it to you, insist it shows nothing. If you’re good at lifting, they won’t be able to prove you did it on camera footage alone and they know they wouldn’t be able to hold that in court and therefore probably won’t call the police. If you don’t confess, they can’t do a single thing otherwise the cops would’ve been the ones to stop you.

Please be aware that in these stores, each and every product of every single style/color/pattern etc and has a serial number assigned to each and every item and are TRACKED. (Similar to when SA's of Louîs Vuîtton get special discounts on out of season items, they can't sell them on ebay or they can loose their job). Certain stores only carry a certain number of each item, they may only have 3 or 4 or even only 1 in the entire store. Not only that, there's only a certain amount in each country. For example, there could only be 7 Sac de jour YSL purses in the country. If you plan to lîft from one of these stores please DO NOT boost it. It will only get you in big trouble, instead, wait a few weeks/months depending on how big the item is before you carry/use it. Also, these brands keep a list of serial numbers in their archives or whatever you want to call it so people can look up the serial number to authenticate their product. PLEASE REBLOG. ❤️❤️❤️

A friend of mine through an old community was recently arrested at K0hls. She beeped, and LP confronted her and she was wearing heels and couldn’t run. She was approached based on the beep, but LP was very close to the door when it happened so make of that what you will. 

She had a ton of shit in her purse and in a shopping bag, including clothing, expensive headphones, jewelry, and more. She still has no clue why she beeped since she checked thoroughly for tags in a fitting room and used a magnet, but is reasonably sure it wasn’t via a magnet detector. We’re talking about a very very experienced lfter here who felt comfortable in this particular store. 

The police showed up very quickly, as in while they were leading her to a back room, and she was arrested. Literally they took her in a police car to the station, booked her, took a mugshot, put her in jail, the whole nine yards. She was not strip searched. She was over the felony limit for her state, plus they found her tools, and she admitted she had taken some things, but not everything they found, and denied it was premeditated. She now regrets saying anything at all, and wishes she’d asked for a lawyer. 

They took her purse and got a warrant for her phone. She had to give them her passcode. This is something I’d heard rumors about the police doing but this is the first person I know who that happened to. She was bailed out the same day by her husband, who did not know she lfts and is not happy right now, but they did not let her take her phone home. She knows she is in deep, deep shit as she was boosting shit over several different apps on her phone and had used the phone to text with partners, but not on the day she was caught or for some time prior. When her husband picked her up he was not questioned, but a cop mentioned to him that if he was involved he should confess because they have her phone and will find out who she was working with. 

They did not get a warrant for her home or car as far as she knows; her car was still in the K0hls parking lot when she got out that night, with lfted stuff from another store in the trunk. Her husband told her to pack a bag of anything that she had taken recently which he is hiding with a relative just in case. She has lfted from K0hls before and is now worried about them checking tapes and getting her on more. She may be facing jail time just on what she was charged with already, and charges may be added depending on what they find on her phone. She may have put people she cares about in harms way, including a member of her family, because they texted her about lfting. She has hired a lawyer, and it’s not cheap, and has had to seek medical attention for severe anxiety that has made her unable to eat without getting sick or sleep a full night. 

From what she told me, I have learned a few lessons:

1. Don’t wear heels if you can’t run in heels.

2. Tags may be hidden in very covert places. I wish I could tell you what got her caught, but she still doesn’t know and is very, very surprised it happened. Her only guess is a bottle of perfume that was somewhat pricey. She had removed a tag stuck to the bottom of the box but wonders if perhaps there was a second tag inside the box that she missed.

3. Know the law, and know how much trouble you’d be in if you got caught each time. If it’s serious, refuse to talk and demand to see a lawyer. The expense is worth it if you’re fucked either way. Also make sure you do not consent to any searches. 

4. Be very careful about what’s on your phone. This is something I’d heard about in the past but just to be safe I’ve cleaned out my conversations on a few texting apps and deleted some photos. I’ve always used codewords for most conversations and now those are the only ones that could be found. 

5. A lot of liftblr caught stories, as well as caught stories on other sites, seem to center around K0hls. I have never fucked with K0hls because honestly there wasn’t much at mine I particularly wanted. My friend was very, very comfortable with hers and is shocked this is the place she ended up getting caught. Don’t fall into the trap of “but mine is easy” when you’re talking about a chain that is known for having good LP. Yours may have been easy when you started, but they could easily have stepped up their game. Be very vigilant every single time and try to avoid the felony total in any one trip. This situation would be significantly less dire if she had taken two trips instead of taking so much in one. She is also wondering if perhaps they had suspected her of lfting there for some time but simply did not feel comfortable catching her until the beep gave them a reason to confront her. 

6. We have been communicating through a very secure app on her ipad that does not log conversations since this happened. I don’t want to reveal any more about it right now but suggest those of you who like to stay in touch do your research about what technology you decide to use and maybe don’t use your phone if you bring that with you when you lft. I have always been very secure about my communications except for those where I chose to use code words. 

To be absolutely safe wipe your phone of any evidence before you go lifting. Log offf tumblr, delete any lifting texts after they’re sent and received. MAKE IT A HABIT. You don’t want to be caught with shit like that in your phone.

Always stay cautious don’t ever be too comfortable in a store. Never take more than the felony amount from a store at a time. Make multiple trips if you want it’s better to be cautious.

You guys

I work at kohls.

We have the top LP in my entire STATE. I have seen this man (who looks like a total dad) TAKE DOWN 400 POUND MEN IN THE EXIT.

Please do not lift from Köhls. You can find everything we carry inside a different store.

Do not lift from köhls do not lift from köhls

DO NOT DO IT. They cut money in other depts (specifically mine) for better LP.

Had a TINY scare when I saw security outside of the VS but the manager was pointing at someone else and I escaped and said “OK bitch I’ve had enough for today lmao” and went home
