I could only hear the chick next to me say it was by ohgr someone help
âspicy pillowâ jokes aside, I think @flowerkroneââs tags deserve a serious reply:
#my old phone looks like this on my shelf lmao #im too scared to touch it to throw it away #idk what trash this even goes into when its at this point
The pillow-shaped object here used to be the phoneâs battery. Itâs not a battery anymore. Now itâs a balloon full of corrosive, pyrophoric chemicals and hydrogen gas and itâs one puncture away from burning your house down. I am 100% serious. You should be scared to touch it.
But you gotta touch it, because you gotta get it out of your house before the pressure builds up to the point where the balloon pops. This isnât going to happen soon â there is no need to panic â but it will happen eventually.
And, indeed, it doesnât go in the ordinary trash. You put this in the ordinary trash and youâre gonna set the garbage truck on fire. Donât do that to the garbage collectors, their job is hard enough already.
The first thing you need to do is get a fireproof container. The most common household item that qualifies as a fireproof container is a cast-iron cookpot with a cast-iron lid â often sold as a âDutch oven.â Any other cooking container thatâs unreactive, has a very high melting point, and has a lid made of the same materials will also work: enameled or stainless steel, Pyrex with glass lid, etc.
However: Do not use a pot with a PTFE-based non-stick coating. If the battery does explode, the fire will probably be hot enough to degrade a PTFE coating, producing toxic smoke. (Not that you should breathe the smoke from the battery fire either, but PTFE breakdown products are worse.) Do not use a pot made of aluminium or copper. The fire might even get hot enough to melt those.
Whatever container you use, you might have to throw away along with the phone, so donât use your good Dutch oven for this. Go to a thrift store and buy a cheap one.
Once you have the fireproof container:
Gently pick up the phone and put it in the fireproof container. If possible, gently tape the phone to the bottom of the container to prevent it from bouncing around. Donât put any padding in there, thatâll just make a fire worse if it does happen. Put the lid on and tape it shut.
Put a label on the container, something like âDEFECTIVE LI-ION BATTERY â FIRE HAZARDâ.
It is now reasonably safe to move the container around. However, if the battery does explode, the container is very likely to leak smoke and get hot, so keep it in a well-ventilated area and away from things that will be damaged by heat. Donât leave it exposed to the weather, either.
You need to find either a hazardous waste disposal site, or an e-waste recycler that will accept defective Li-ion batteries. I canât help with that because I have no idea where you live.
However, your local fire department, if you have one, will probably be happy to help. Call their non-emergency number. Nothing is on fire yet, so this isnât an emergency, but things that can easily start a fire are still within the fire departmentâs responsibilities. Tell them you have a phone with a bulging lithium-ion battery, you put it in a fireproof container, and you want to know how to dispose of it safely.
If the fire department tries to tell you this isnât dangerous or itâs okay to throw it out in the regular trash (with or without fireproof container), hang up on them and write a cranky letter to your local government representatives, then keep looking for a proper disposal site.
When you do find a a hazardous waste disposal site or an e-waste recycler, call them and make sure they will take defective Li-ion batteries, before showing up. Thatâs also a good time to ask if they will let you have the fireproof container back.
OH FUGGGGG A GOUGAR

I feel like this look didn't exactly work
Oh she's walking outside!
nintendo is taking down the 3ds and wii u eshops next year
and they had this lovingly made totally not taunting message to leave about their virtual console legacy theyâre destroying
(that theyâve, fun fact, taken down from their site now :])
this pisses me off so much because nintendo is AWARE we want their legacy of games put on their best selling system (literally, outside of the combined sales of every nintendo DS, lite, DSi, and XL, and the GB and GBCâs combined sales, the switch is at the top)
and yet they still do not care. itâs not about them not having this content either because 1 the wii u vc and 3ds vc. exist. and 2, even for stuff that isnt on the virtual console yet, weâve been given internal proof from previous big nintendo leaks (namely the gigaleak) that nintendo does not mess around when it comes to keeping backups of their older content. its not a lack of money either, nintendo is literally one of the richest companies in japan. itâs just. a lack of caring
last thing im gonna say about this is that the 3DS and Wii U both have excellent, actively updated guides for softmodding them to run homebrew. the Wii and DSi do as well!
on top of that the emulation general wiki is an amazing resource for emulators for pretty much every generation of game system, including emulators for non game systems like arcade hardware, PCs, and mobile phones, along with emulators on game systems! so check the wiki out if youâre interested!
And if/when you do softmod your 3DS, gosh, wouldnât it be nice if there was a site that safely and reliably hosted games for it, where you could even download them directly to your 3DS through a QR code?
A primer on Linux for non computer nerds
[I am going to edit this post as I get responses to it, so if you see this reblogged, consider viewing the original post, because it might be updated.]
Have you been using the same email address and username on various platforms for twenty years?
Have you been using the same password for your accounts for twenty years?
If so, please do the following:
Go to HaveIBeenPwned.Com. In the search box, search your email address.
If the bottom of the page turns red, it means that your email is in at least one set of data from a breach.
2. Scroll down on the page to look at the breaches your email was in. I want you to look specifically for breaches that include passwords.
What this means is that your email address, which you have used as an account name for twenty years, and your password, which you have used across platforms for twenty years, are available for anyone on the web who wants to look. It's pretty easy to go and find too!
This is how a LOT of identity theft and fraud happens these days.
Let's say you created your LiveJournal account when you were fifteen. You used it a lot and by the time you were twenty the credentials you created for it were familiar and you plugged them in whenever you had to create an account. You plugged them in when you created a Facebook account. You plugged them in when you created a bank account. You plugged them in when you created the account that lets you see your lab results from your doctor's office.
All that someone has to do to seriously fuck your life is to do the following:
Find your email and password in one of these lists.
Compare to other lists and see if the same information is present
Seek out the most common account types (gmail, facebook, yahoo, hotmail, icloud, amazon, and one of about five financial institutions)
Start entering your username and password
Literally, profit.
That's all it takes. If you used the same username and password in two accounts in a breach, you probably used it elsewhere. Maybe you put an exclamation after the password, or entered your birth year, but those are pretty easy things to guess about and well worth it if someone can send themselves all the cash in your bank or order a shitload of giftcards from your amazon account.
And look: I know it 's really easy to not take warnings about passwords seriously. I know that if you haven't been screwed by this yet that it's easy to think that your password is strong enough, that you're going to get overlooked because you've got less than a hundred dollars to your name, that you're not going to have a problem with this.
People re-use passwords all the time. They re-use passwords constantly. And a lot of people don't understand that those passwords are freely available out on the internet.
Think about what would happen if someone locked you out of your primary email account and there was no way to get back in. You go to change your password on social media and what does it do? Sends a confirmation to your email, which you now don't control. Is your primary email one of the ways that you get information from your bank? Is it how you log into and track orders from online resellers? How do you log in to the profile on your phone? Do you have a browser profile? Do you log in with your email address? Does your browser profile save your credit card numbers?
This is why we use password managers. This is the advantage to password managers. With a password manager there is ONE password you have to be very careful to keep safe (the password to your password manager) and all the other passwords are disposable. Did your email get revealed in the Tumblr breach? NBD, use your password manager to generate a new, unique password for your tumblr account, change it, and you're good to go.
I know it seems like a giant pain in the ass to start using a password manager. I know it seems like a much bigger headache to log into a password manager and copy passwords than it is to type in the password that you KNOW. But I promise that using a password manager is a much smaller headache than freezing your credit so that people stop applying for credit cards in your name, or trying to start a brand new email from scratch when you get locked out of your old one, or tracking down all of the photos that someone could download from your cloud storage and making sure that they aren't getting posted on revenge porn sites.
Bitwarden is a secure, open-source password manager that has a free option for individual users. It has apps available for iOS and Android, and extensions for Firefox (which is also supported in Firefox Mobile) and Chrome. It has an extremely comprehensive tutorial series to help you learn how to use it. If you're thinking about signing up for a password manager but you're not sure, I strongly recommend checking out some of those videos.
I also promise that using a password manager gets easier the more you use it. It's a big hurdle to jump over when you're getting started, but it gets easier pretty much immediately.
And this doesn't have to be an all-or-nothing proposition. You can create an account with a password manager and just save one login to start. It's actually easiest if you keep it low-key and just update your logins whenever you find yourself needing to log in to a site instead of trying to go through and do it all at once before you're familiar with the program.
I'd recommend starting with at least two things: your primary email and your primary bank account. After that update any major online retailers you shop frequently and any social media that you use often.
A password manager is also a great place to store account recovery codes, answers to security questions, previous passwords, PINs, and secondary contact methods.
A lot of people worry that a password manager is an even bigger risk than just reusing passwords or creating memorable passwords or writing passwords down in a notebook because if a password manager is breached then all of that very important data is exposed. This is a reasonable thing to fear, and that's why it's important to be careful about what password manager you use.
This is why I recommend Bitwarden. Bitwarden uses a very secure encryption scheme and never stores any of your data in plaintext. If Bitwarden is breached and leaks data, all that will be leaked is gibberish. What you need to worry about to keep your password manager secure are the following:
Create a good, complicated, unique password for your password manager. This password DOES need to be memorable, so pick something that will be easy for you to remember. I like to use song lyrics and the year a song was released for this, so something like "Nggyu,Nglyd,Ngraady82" if we're using "Never Gonna Give You Up" as an example.
Make sure that you have secure recovery methods for your password manager; save your recovery passphrase in a safe place (I have a notebook with info like this and software activation codes and so on that I keep in my sock drawer, as well as a password protected folder on my desktop)
Only log in to your password manager from devices that you use a pin or password to log into - if you aren't doing that, at least make sure to set a short vault timeout, so that your password manager will log out after a set (short) period of time
Do not use the password for your password manager anywhere else
Do not tell anyone the password for your password manager
Make sure that your devices have good security and don't allow people remote access to your computer or devices.
Basically YOU are the only way that someone can get into your password manager. Your password is the only thing that can unlock it, which means that A) you have to ensure that you won't lose the password and B) you have to ensure that nobody else has access to the password. I know that first one sounds scary, but there are a LOT of ways to recover a Bitwarden account if you take the time to set them up. The second one is much simpler, and is the thing that is going to keep your password manager safe.
Anyway ILU please use a password manager.
This is actually a great question. You *SHOULD* be suspicious when presented with websites that ask you to enter your email or when given advice from randos on the internet.
One of the easiest things to do when you see a novel piece of information and you want a general background on it is to check wikipedia.
The wikipedia page does a pretty good job of explaining what it *does* and does suggest that a lot of people use it, but that's not really enough info to know whether to trust something. So it is perfectly reasonable to do a search of your actual question: "Is haveibeenpwned safe?"
This is somewhat complicated, because various search engines are going to return various answers and it's not like any of those answers are definitive either.
So, you know that "is haveibeenpwned safe" is a computer security question, so it's worthwhile to see what security and computer focused people say about it. The Register, PCMag, ZDNet, and HowToGeek are all computer-focused resources; you can search "haveibeenpwned" on those sites and see what they say.
The Register describes it as 'reliable,' PC Mag says that it is very useful, ZDNet cites it as a source, and HowToGeek has a whole bunch of articles about the site, including updates on the project going open source and instructions on how to use it.
But you might not trust those sites either. You may want to ask a group of internet-savvy users users. It's kind of a joke that you need to add "reddit" to the end of a query to get a good answer these days, but sometimes that's an effective way of getting an answer!
You can also take into consideration the history of the site: It has been around for about 10 years now, and if it were dangerous or risky to use there would be a lot of articles out about it. But when you search "is haveibeenpwned dangerous?" pretty much every site agrees that it's safe.
Information literacy has a lot in common across a lot of different fields, and one of the things that is true across the board is that you need to be able to identify good sources of information before you can feel secure discussing a topic. It is a VERY GOOD idea to question random tech advice that you stumble across on tumblr dot com because tumblr is not generally known as a good source of tech knowledge.

ive been collecting this specific brand of evil, satanic meme-adjacent images with no clear punchline since early 2019 in a folder on my laptop me and my close friends refer to as âthe evil memes folderâ. here are some of my favorites enjoy
shoplifting master list, not mine but im posting bcuz its amazing
Adidas: Difficult to shoplift from. Cameras arenât usually monitored, but staff are dedicated and can make commission. They are usually inclined to try to stop theft. Tagging is frequent and efficient at Adidas stores.
Aeropostale: Cameras are few and far between. Cameras are never actively monitored, and most exist only to stop ORC/internal theft. Aero doesnât chase, and doesnât prosecute. Their staff has little LP training, and has no employees dedicated to LP. Staff usually donât count dressing room items, and donât do much about even obvious lifting (other than calling mall security). Very easy.
Abercrombie & Fitch: Cameras arenât actively monitored. Only LP is regular staff, but usually only store managers call police or mall security. Staff sometimes counts fitting room items. A&F has a strict policy not to chase lifters, but they will call police or mall security. Often times they wonât press charges and will just ask for merchandise to be returned. Fairly easy.
American Eagle: Wonât chase, and cameras arenât actively monitored. Staff usually count fitting room items, and fitting rooms are locked until you request one. They will prosecute if caught, but the only LP measures they take are calling police or mall security. Fairly easy.
Armani: Has a small staff-customer ratio, and lifting is almost impossible. Cameras are actively monitored, and staff follows customers around almost ubiquitously (just so they donât have to search for a salesperson when they have a question or need help with something). Near impossible.
Banana Republic: Hardest of all the GAP Inc. stores. Has staff who is generally dedicated, and who will usually monitor cameras. Tagging is frequent so be careful and only conceal in dressing rooms. Will often chase, prosecute, and ban. They usually call police and mall security.
Barnes & Noble: Uses RFID tags on products over $40, all electronics, most manga, and most hardcover books. Cameras are not actively monitored, but will be checked after a theft has occurred. Store managers are the only ones who have the authority to call police. Store managers are the only staff who can trail shoplifters, but they will give aggressive customer service if they suspect you. They wonât chase you, and will simply call to you from the door and ask you to come back inside. If you refuse, they will try to get your license plate number. Gifts, journals, trinkets, moleskines, paper blanks, and art supplies are never tagged. If youâre being followed, staff will back off every few minutes to allow you to dump the merchandise. Try to conceal in the kids section, as there are no cameras usually. Very easy store, but not for beginners.
Bath & Body Works: No LP, and cameras arenât actively monitored. The stores are small and have many employees mostly concentrated at the counters except for a greeter who helps customers with questions. They donât prosecute, but they call mall security and will let them determine if police will be called. This is a store only good for small lifts, and then leaving quickly.
Bed, Bath, and Beyond: Stores vary. While cameras are usually monitored, and LP exists regionally, tall shelves and big displays make concealment much easier. Will chase, prosecute, and ban.
Best Buy: A very risky bet. They do have actively watched cameras, and a stationary guard, who watches them. Staff can follow you into the restroom. You are not necessarily running against the staff, itâs the cameras that will bite you in the ass. If you do a blatant walkout and get caught (and flee), your picture is sure to be sent to other stores, and potentially posted online. No chase policy, but if you walk out with an item, you have exactly one chance to do so. If you do so, you cannot go back to that store for at least a year. If staff suspects a shoplifter, they will actively provide âCustomer Supportâ in an effort to make you drop what you have and leave the store. Concealment is quite easy in the store, just watch for cameras. I found that hiding near appliances works the best.
Bloomingdales: Actively monitored PTZ cameras. Staffed with a team of LP professionals, and most staff has basic LP training. They will chase, prosecute, fine, and ban. Quite hard.
Books-a-million: They have very good cameras, but they arenât actively monitored, and they usually donât record. Employees are few and far between, and at some locations, the door alarms are fake. Most books arenât tagged, regardless of price. BAM usually has expensive autographed copies of books that can be resold at a larger profit. (This is my personal favorite store).
Burberry (OUTLET) : (Hard Difficulty) Burberry Outlets use Sensormatic SuperTags so as long as you got a hook your set. Cameras are actively monitored but items going into dressing room are not counted so you can find a way to sneak multiple items into the dressing room and then detag and conceal an item.
Burlington Coat Factory: Cameras are usually actively monitored. Wonât usually chase, but there are no specific policies. Will always call police, and will usually ban or ask you to leave even if you pass the POS with unpaid merchandise.
Carsonâs: Cameras are actively monitored. LP rotate regionally, but have been cut back since the sale of Carsonâs to the Proffitt Holding Group. Most stores outside of Illinois donât tag many items, except for designer handbags and other items over a couple hundred bucks. Staff will call police even if someone is thought to be concealing merchandise. Fairly difficult.
Chanel: Staff is very dedicated and classy. One employee is always looking at cameras. While it is one of the easier designer stores, it is still extremely risky. Your best bet is a grab and run.
COACH: Same as Armani.
Costco: Costco is a membership-only store, but there is a way to gain access to the store if youâre not a member (and you shouldnât be if you plan to lift, since Costco has the personal information of all members). By US law, a store canât limit their pharmacy to members, so you can walk in the door with a âprescriptionâ, then grab whatever you want. Furthermore, you can claim to be using the optical section and they will let you in. Also, the card-checkers at the door rarely look closely at your membership card so just flash an expired card or make a laminated fake. Receipt-checkers make theft hard, so either conceal everything, or have a fake receipt ready. The only cameras in the store are by the registers, so every other part of the store is a blind spot. If they see you stealing, they will call the police and prosecute.
CVS: Cameras are usually non actively monitored. LP rotates regionally, usually working two, 8-hour shifts per week at specific stores (especially when large thefts are discovered). CVS is usually bad a tagging merchandise that Corporate would want tagged. Regular staff wonât chase, but LP can confront you in store, but they will only try to get your license plate. Medium range difficulty.
Dickâs Sporting Goods: While they employee LP and actively monitor cameras in most locations, LP is poor and there are may easy blind spots to conceal in. Only security is concentrated near the firearms section (for âsafety reasonsâ). LP usually wonât chase, but they sometimes break company policy. Police will almost always be called once a lifter leaves the store. Medium difficulty.
Dillardâs: Cameras are monitored actively, and a few LP are usually working. They donât typically employ plainclothes AP/LP, but treat all customers as potential LP. Dillardâs will chase, ban, and prosecute. When a large lift is attempted, LP will not hesitate to physically detain lifters.
Dollar General: No LP, and staff is usually older. Strict no chase policies are in place, and cameras are not actively monitored. Easy.
Dollar Tree: Oftentimes, the cameras are fake. Few employees are usually in store. DT doesnât want to waste money on security or LP because their products are cheap. Basically a free-for-all. Beginner-level store.
Family Dollar: Sometimes they donât even have cameras. At most they will have four employees in the store, but they usually only have one or two. Extremely easy as long as you watch over your shoulders.
Five and Below: Among the easiest stores. Staff mostly remain at the counter unless they are stocking items. They will call police after a lifter has left the store. Cameras are few if any, and arenât actively monitored. Five and Below only really cares about ORC and internal theft, but employs no LP. Staff donât care to stop obvious lifters, and will usually just attempt to get a license plate number, or picture of them.
Finish Line/Footlocker: Both donât monitor cameras except ones in the back (to prevent ORC). Staff wonât chase, but they will ban, prosecute, and try to get a license plate number or picture of the suspect. LP is regional, and is usually called in after thefts.
Food Lion: Generally an easy store. At matt locations, the check-out lanes âblockâ the exits which makes the possibility of being spotted greater. Cameras tend to be monitored (especially when big shipments are coming in). LP is nonexistent, and it is up to managers to stop you. Food Lion will ban, and sometimes prosecute. Police are almost always called.
Gamestop: Usually they only have one or two non monitored, non-recording cameras. Employee(s) will usually remain at the counter or on the sales floor, so theft or concealment is difficult. Higher end electronics are kept in locked cabinets. Efforts to lift from Gamestop are usually futile.
GAP: Easier than Banana Republic. Cameras are usually not monitored, but are well placed. Cashier desk is far from the main door. Door alarms are ubiquitous in use. LP situation unknown. Be cautious and donât conceal on the floor unless the item is small.
GNC: Wonât chase. No LP. Doesnât actively monitor cameras (cameras are very few). Regional managers are usually concerned with and tasked with tackling internal theft. Employees will at most try to get a license plate, and they may ban you if they see you conceal in store.
Gucci: Good LP and PTZ cameras. They wonât hesitate to tackle you and do anything to retrieve merchandise.
H&M: Frequently uses plainclothes in US stores. Cameras are sometimes actively monitored. LP at H&M is fairly good for a small store. Will usually call mall security if they think someone is stealing.
Hobby Lobby: Fairly easy, but still the hardest craft store. They do employ limited LP who will try to apprehend shoplifters once they pass the POS. Often they will ask for the merchandise back and just ban you. Police are called if any employee or customer is physically injured or if threats are made. In that case, they will prosecute.
Hollister: Cameras arenât monitored, and there is no LP. Many stores have door alarms as a deterrent, because they are too far away to be seen or possibly heard at the cashier desk. Hollister will call mall security. They wonât chase, but they will ask for merchandise back or issue a Civil Demand, and they will ban permanently. All clothing in the store is tagged with Sensormatic SuperTags so a detacher hook is all you need.
Home Depot: While they actively monitor cameras and employ LP, Home Depot LP is usually ineffective at stopping small theft because they have such a large store to cover, which has extremely expensive items spread throughout.
Hot Topic: Difficulty of HT stores varies wildly. Most donât have cameras, but some have one near the front desk. In either case, the cameras arenât monitored unless a robbery or major theft has occurred. There is no LP, but regional managers can be called in if a large theft has occurred. Staff shouldnât chase you, but store managers have been known to break this policy in an attempt to get pictures or license plate numbers. They will usually call mall security, but not police. Staff usually follow and pester suspected lifters, and they will pretend to straighten displays new you. Their main technique is to offer you something that matches what they think youâve concealed (this is to intimidate you into dumping the merchandise). Be careful.
Jo-Ann Fabrics: Very easy store. Many displays near the store entrance make it easy to conceal and leave quickly. There is no LP, but if they see you conceal, they will customer service you to death. Police might be called. Managers can try to call you back into the store, but wonât chase further than the sidewalk. Signs stating âShoplifters will be prosecutedâ are deterrents that make up for a lack of LP or security monitoring. Cameras around these signs are fake, and all Jo-Ann cameras have a blindspot within a 5 feet cone of the camera.
JC Penny: Lax LP as far as most department stores go. LP is employed and they actively monitor cameras. Plainclothes are used in high shrink stores.
King Superâs: Extremely good LP, who ESPECIALLY HEAVILY monitor the alcohol. Cameras are always actively monitored. KS LP will go to extreme lengths to apprehend lifters. Police are always called after concealment, or in the event of assault of a staff member.
K-Mart: Surprisingly decent LP who sometimes actively monitor cameras. Cameras donât always record. They will always chase you, but wonât get physical unless you touch them or try to flee.
Kohlâs: Not too hard to lift from if you conceal in the dressing rooms and leave quickly. Plainclothes are common, and LP is good at making fitting room stops. Never try to return stolen goods to Kohlâs, because they try to flag the serial numbers of stolen merchandise. LP will enter the fitting room cubicle next to a suspected lifter, and will listen for any suspicious noises. Door alarms are very sensitive, so be careful. Company policy encourages LP not to make stops based ONLY on a door alarm being triggered. Issues large Civil Demands, and will report these to collection agencies. Kohlâs, however, cannot enforce a Civil Demand.
Kroger: Decent LP, who often pose as shelf stockers, and will trail people who conceal merchandise. Kroger tends to case-build on known lifters. Cameras are monitored most of the time, but are sometimes turned off around closing time.One of the harder grocery stores.
Lacoste: (Medium Difficulty) Employees are usually on the lookout for less savvy shoplifters that may try and conceal on sales floor so make sure you are not concealing on the sales floor. Lacoste stores also sometimes limit the amount of people that are allowed inside the store at a time so it is easier to keep employees from being overwhelmed and a shoplifting incident to occur. If you are going to shoplift here make sure to detag and conceal in the dressing room. Lacoste uses pencil tags but not everything is tagged so if you need to detag you will need a strong magnet to remove these but beware some Lacoste stores are known to use magnet detecting towers so keep a lookout for short glass see through towers usually placed in front of regular EAS towers.
Lord and Taylor: Employees are encouraged to chase and are given incentives for preventing shoplifting. L&T usually will issue a large civil demand and f**k up your credit score in the process, but they will prosecute if it is an exceptionally large theft, or if people are hurt or threatened. Be cautious.
Lowes: Similar to Home Depot, but with less LP. Cameras are usually monitored, especially over the board cutting and cord cutting areas. This is to protect them from lawsuits if someone injures themselves.
Lush: Lush is usually busy which can be either a help or a hindrance to lifters. There are no tags or door alarms, and the front desk is often far ways from the door. There is usually one or two chasers and at least one employee giving demonstrations on the sales floor. Iâm not sure about the camera situation, but I know if caught they will ban you, but wonât usually even try to get the products back because the bath bombs and such probably canât be resold after having left the store.
Macyâs: Quite hard. Often has large teams of LP in store ranging in size from two to as many as ten. Company policy demands that LP follow the 5 steps to make an apprehension. Cameras are fairly good, and are always being monitored. Head LP managers have access to store cameras even off duty, and will call police if alarms are triggered after closing time. Always chases (incentives are given to employees), and sometimes they prosecute, and sometimes they issue civil demands - no policy determines which they do.
Martinâs: Not to hard. They have considerably less LP and general anti theft measures that Kroger. Cameras are almost always actively monitored because Martinâs has large management teams at every store.
Meijers: Will chase. Usually they wonât employ dedicated LP, but they will have someone monitoring cameras most of the time.
Mervyns: Dangerous store that will chase, ban, and prosecute. Cameras are always monitored.
Michaelâs: Beginner level store. At more urban stores, expensive art pencils and markers are locked up, but many stores donât bother. Spray paint is always locked up. Cameras arenât monitored unless to investigate ORC. Employees are located at the framing counter which is near the main offices, so keep that in mind. Blind spots are numerous. Easy as pie.
Michael Korâs: Probably the easiest designer boutique. Staff is very dedicated, and treats customers well. If they think you may be lifting, they wonât hesitate to call police and or mall security and stall you until they arrive. Not many bags are usually on display, so theft is noticed extremely quickly. If you must lift from there (they do have BEAUTIFUL bags and wallets) get in and get out.
Moncler (OUTLET): (Hard difficulty) Cameras are actively monitored but similar to the Burberry Outlet this store uses Sensormatic SuperTags. Ammount of items going into the dressing room are not counted though so feel free to try and conceal in the dressing room.
Nike: Usually strict about theft. Cameras are few, but store managers sometimes monitor them. Tagging is frequent. They might chase, but will try to get a license plate number and will always call police.
Nordstrom: Dangerous, but not impossible. They have dedicated LP, and regular staff get bonuses for reporting shoplifters. They will chase you usually, but will usually have police waiting. Nordstrom case builds for shoplifting, so donât return to the same store planning to lift. Cameras are numerous and are actively monitored. Glass cases containing designer wallets and things are usually able to be opened and only appear locked. Staff wonât confront you for opening the case (according to my cousin who has worked there for 9 months). Be careful.
Office Depot/Max: Varies depending on the store. Stores considered âlow shrinkâ are easy to lift from, due to lax security. Their cameras are not monitored, and there are no LP. However, âhigh shrinkâ stores are quite different. In these stores, the sales lead will dispatch an employee to approach each customer within seconds of them walking in the door. If they think you are suspicious, they will not leave your side, no matter what. Donât attempt to lift if youâre being tailed in this manner. The cleaning supplies aisle is usually the best blindspot. Some items are spider wrapped. Many things have an RFID tag in them such as headphones, and fine writing pens. These tags are always stuck to the inside of the box. Itâs easy to tell, because the box will have been resealed with scotch tape.
Old Navy: Easiest of all the GAP Inc. Stores. Staff usually doesnât care, and most are not on the sales floor. Dressing rooms are usually messy which makes it easy to conceal. Stealing shoes from Old Navy is easier because there are no shoe boxes. LP exists regionally in urban areas. Cameras are usually actively monitored. Will generally chase, ban, and call police.
Pet-Co: Cameras are usually only located near the front of the store. No LP, and cameras arenât actively monitored. Management only cares about preventing internal theft because pet stores generally have low shrinkage. Employees wonât chase, and many wonât even call police.
PetSmart: Generally the same as Pet-Co. PetSmart holds a lot of dog training classes, so these are good times to lift. Cameras are sometimes reviewed at the end of the day (per company policy) but this rarely happens, especially in small stores.
Polo Ralph Lauren (OUTLET): : (MEDIUM DIFFICULTY) Similar to Tommy Hilfiger you should never conceal on floor and instead conceal in the dressing rooms to avoid problems with LP. Based on research i have done not all Polo stores monitor cameras but just to be safe DO NOT conceal on sales floor. Polo uses hard ink tags so make sure to use magnets to remove them. Polo Outlets in the US do not have magnet detecting towers so feel safe to bring your detachers to remove tags from clothing.
Rite Aid: âLittle to no lp unless it becomes a major problem such as repeated lifts of alcohol or electronics. Most cameras are fake. Not actively monitored. Poorly trained staff and managers. Store policy is not to stop suspected lifters but it varies store to store. My moms old manager was a hard ass and tacked more than one person with no repercussions. He has since retired and her new manager has a no confrontation policy. They will however build a case. They got one lady who had been stealing wine bottles for 3 months. They call police and will take further legal action. Multiple blind spots even if cameras are active.if you spot the manager out of the office 99% of the time that means nobody is watching cameras. And even if the manager is in the office they are usually overworked and underpayed so its no issue usually.â
Ross: Medium difficulty. They have limited LP, but cameras are usually monitored by one employee with radio contact to the managers. They will often simply ban shoplifters, and wonât call police if they get their merchandise back.
Safeway: Can be one of the more difficult grocery stores. Cameras are of decent quality, and are usually being watched. If electricity to the store is cut, the cameras will continue to record using a separate backup generator. LP is regional and rotates around stores with high shrinkage. Most stores in wealthier areas can go several months without a visit from district LP.
Samâs Club: Same as Costco, but a little easier. They can be fairly easy to lift from if you conceal well and move fast. If youâre not obviously carrying anything, the receipt checker will let you pass.
Sears: Sears has cut back on LP, but still has LP agents in almost every store. LP that is there is highly trained. Sears will sometimes âbaitâ people into lifting. Some stores don;t have tower alarms. Cameras are always monitored. Sears will chase, and usually prosecute, but might issue a Civil Demand if you cooperate with their LP.
Sephora: Dangerous. Has very good LP and PTZ cameras. They will always have at least 2 or 3 agents in the store, not including plainclothes. They will chase, call police, and issue civil demands. If employees or customers are hurt, threatened, or if excessive amounts are stolen, they will prosecute. Civil Demand notices come with 1-2 year trespass orders (this applies to all Sephoraâs except those in JCP or Macyâs).
Sheetz: One of the easier convenience stores to lift from. Cameras exist, but are generally not being monitored, except in the aftermath of large thefts or robberies. There are always at least two or three employees behind the counter. Most stocking is done late at night or after closing, so employees usually stay behind the counter unless theyâre cleaning a machine. They wonât call police unless thereâs a robbery. If an employee sees you shoplifting, oftentimes they tell you just to never come back. Quite easy.
Spencerâs: Difficulty varies. Most stores have decent low hanging cameras, but they arenât usually being watched. They use a lot of ink tags on clothing items. Spencerâs keeps most expensive items such as sex toys in the back of the store, or on high shelves where you need to get employee assistance to reach. When lifting at Spencerâs, have an idea of what you want, and get in and out in under 10 minutes.
Staples: Very easy. Older stores have very wide aisles, and mostly fake cameras. Newer stores have shorter, narrower aisles and have real cameras. There are almost never any employees looking at cameras, and there are no real LP efforts to speak of. Employees will congregate near the main door if they see someone concealing, and they might follow at a distance. If you see two or more employees standing directly at the door, DUMP THE GOODS, and leave.
Stop & Shop: Surprisingly a difficult store. They use decent LP, and lots of decent quality cameras that are constantly monitored. They will almost always prosecute and rarely issue Civil Demand notices. Chase policy depends on the store, but they usually will chase or apprehend past the POS.
Sunglass Hut: No LP, and cameras arenât actively monitored in mall stores. Glasses are almost all tagged, and employees are told not to leave customers alone in the store with merchandise. Regional managers will often investigate ORC and noticeable shrinkage reported in inventory.
Target: Notoriously hard. Cameras are extremely numerous and are very high quality. Some can PTZ. LP are extremely dedicated, and regular staff are given bonuses or incentives for reporting shoplifting to LP. Target will always chase, call police, ban, or rarely issue a Civil Demand notice. Donât lift from Target. They will basically take what you stole and shove it up your ass. Also, Target case builds and shares known lifter info with other stores, so they can get you up to a felony amount before contacting police.
Things Remembered: Laughably easy. Most stores lack security cameras and those with them are never monitored. The large engraving station is in the back, so if your location has cameras, assume someone is near them. Staff donât usually care and will stay at the desk. No LP at all. Mostly the company cares about preventing ORC. Concealing is easy as long as youâre in a blind spot from the cashier desk. Their items are expensive and are never tagged. Have fun.
Tommy Hilfiger: (Medium Difficulty) Avoid Concealing on floor because LP situation is unknown. Make sure to conceal in dressing room instead of floor to avoid problems with LP. I believe they probably just check cameras after a shoplift incident is reported. Clothes do not have hard tags but do have soft tags stitched on to the âRemove before washingâ paper. Make sure to remove them before walking out to avoid setting off alarms.
Toys R Us: Store management may act as LP, and cameras are sometimes actively monitored. Company policy is to not detain parents who are with children under 8. (Regardless of if the child or parent is the lifter). They will usually call police, and may prosecute if they canât get their stuff back. No specific LP personnel.
Tuesday Morning: Doesnât chase, will prosecute, and will ban. Always calls police. There are no dedicated LP, but the company likes to hire former LP from other stores as managers in their stores.
Ulta: Difficulty varies. Stores in malls are usually harder because they often request their storefront to be near the mall security office. Freestanding stores are easier, but staff with call police, and usually issue a Civil Demand but sometimes prosecute. Cameras are PTZ and are almost always monitored. Many items are tagged.
Vans: Staff are usually pretty dedicated, and will offer aggressive customer service to suspected lifters. Vans usually calls mall security, and lets them determine whether or not to call police. Cameras are usually in most stores, but are monitored after a theft is noticed.
Virginia Diner Shoppe: Like taking candy from a baby. Large shelves and fairly expensive products make this a nice place to snatch some gifts for the ladies in your life.
Walmart: Poor LP, whose budget and resources have been slashed in recent years. LP efficiency can range from store to store, but it is often easier to lift from Walmarts in higher income areas. Walmart will almost always chase, and will often prosecute. Company policy is not to prosecute under $25, but this is usually left up to the store or district manager. Staff sometimes, but rarely act as LP. Cameras are always actively monitored, but camera quality isnât the best, and a cone blindspot exists directly under most cameras because they canât tilt.
Walgreens: Wonât chase, but will prosecute. No employees are dedicated solely to LP/AP, but store managers can act as LP at their own discretion. Employees are encouraged to try to get plate numbers by looking through windows. Police can be called after the fact. Cameras arenât usually monitored, but the employee break area is near the cameras, and the manager can access the camera feed through his computer (at newer locations).
Wawa: These stores have some exits away from the cashiers desk, which makes them easier to steal from. Cameras are sometimes monitored, but when the store is busy, they usually arenât being watched. Cashiers may yell to lifters who have left the store, and will sometimes try for a license plate number. Oftentimes they will leave cartons of cigarettes out on top of the checkout desks. Good place to try to lift smokes, for those of you who use tobacco!
Wegmanâs: Easiest grocery store. Despite being a MASSIVE store, cameras are few. Many employees work in the store, but are often too busy to even help regular customers. Someone is always watching the cameras, but the only LP that is always used is managers doing sweeps of the store, or near suspected lifters. Exiting through the market cafe is best, but watch out for employees coming in and out of the catering office. Wegmanâs wonât chase (usually), but may call police, and will ban. Wegmanâs does a lot of charity work, and if caught, you can sometimes get away by apologizing profusely, and saying youâre hungry and are having trouble feeding your family. They almost always will give you a few small food items and some coupons and let you leave.
Zumiez: Typically doesnât have cameras, and they are never being monitored. There is usually an employee near the skate stuff near the back room, so pay attention to where they are and where they go. Sales counters are usually far from the door, so you will have extra time to get away if someone notices you. Most hats are tagged, and certain stores will tag shirts, pants, or Herschel bags. Staff wonât chase, and are slow in calling mall security. No LP, except regional managers who will pop in occasionally, or whom are called in. Staff are generally friendly, but are too busy texting and kicking around, so they wonât do much if they suspect you of lifting. Theyâre supposed to wait until youâve left the store, and then they will send your description to security.
7-Eleven: Small stores, usually with a few employees. Cameras arenât being monitored, but the highest ranking employee in the store has access to them. If youâre sealing alcohol they will usually phone the police. They may try to get your license plate number, but they generally wonât do much unless youâre causing a disturbance.
