We Out Here Stealin Shit

1. USE AN EXIF DATA REMOVER MOST IMPORTANT - always use an exif data remover when posting ANY kinds of photos. i use Metadata Remover on ios. it is the white icon with blue aperture lens and a small red dash sign

2. TURN OFF LOCATION SERVICES ON YOUR DEVICE to be extra extra safe, go to settings>privacy>location services on iphone and turn OFF for photos. this prevents your phone from storing location information with your photos and can help you immensely if you ever forget to remove exif data.

3. USE AN UNIDENTIFIABLE BACKGROUND FOR PHOTOS when taking haul photos, always use a solid color background or something unidentifiable such as a fur rug. make sure you review your photos and check that they do not include any unnecessary background stuff such as any parts of your home as a friend may easily identify you.

4. BLOCK ALL NON-LIFTING BLOGS THAT FOLLOW YOU i know this may suck since it might reduce your number of followers, but it is important in order to filter out anti-lifting people as once they’re blocked, they will not be able to see or interact with your blog.

5. CHANGE YOUR BLOG’S PRIVACY go to tumblr’s settings on desktop and change your blog to be only viewable to people with a tumblr account (sorry i’m not sure about the exact steps but just mess around with the settings and you’ll find the option to do this!)

6. NEVER EVER POST ABOUT BRANDS OR SHOPS THAT ARE ONLY AVAILABLE IN YOUR LOCAL AREA OR COUNTRY . this helps doxxers narrow down your location super easily. before posting about something you’re unsure of, do a quick google search of the brand or shop and see which countries they are available in and then decide.

7. TRY NOT TO LIST INDIVIDUAL PRICES because some prices of items are specific to a particular location due to government tax or a promotion/discount thing a brand has ongoing. instead, you should include a total price so it’s impossible for people to guess your location from the specific individual prices.

8. DO NOT EVER TELL YOUR LIFTING TRIP STORY IN CHRONOLOGICAL ORDER what this means is basically, do not say you went to sephora, then to the ulta opposite, and then the walmart 2 blocks away, and then the kohls down the street. if people are familiar with their neighborhood, they may discover that this matches it and they will be able to figure out your location. instead, if you really have to, mix up the order of which you go to places to throw people off or give an impression of a different place.

9. BLOCK SUSPICIOUS PEOPLE WHO PRIVATE MESSAGE YOU so many people have been receiving dubious private messages recently regarding interview requests and an offer to listen to their history of shoplifting. DO NOT ACCEPT THESE REQUESTS and block these users immediately.

10. DO NOT TAKE PICTURES OF YOUR LOCAL STORES!!!! common sense but i have seen people posting photos asking for ideas on how to lift and then include a real photo of their actual store to show the camera layouts etc. no offense but it is literally the dumbest thing one can do because not all chain stores look the same and your location can be identified easily.

11. CREATE A SEPARATE TUMBLR ACCOUNT FOR YOUR LIFTING BLOG with an email that is not associated with you in any way. for example, if your main email is [email protected], do not use an email like ‘[email protected]’ for your lifting blog. instead, use something dumb and unrelated like ‘[email protected]’. that way, if anyone ever finds a way to figure out your email, it will be impossible for them to make any connections to you.

12. SCREEN ANY AND EVERYONE IF THEY WANT RL INTERACTION if anyone ever offers to be your irl lifting buddy or wants a haul swap (in which you will need to give out a mailing address), always screen them by scrolling through their account and checking their likes - i remember someone on here sharing about another user who claimed to be pro-lifting but their likes showed that they were obviously anti-lifting. see if they post any personal hauls or personal tips instead of merely just reblogging lifting tips and other people’s hauls.

13. DON’T EVER POST SELFIES. yes we know you’re probably cute wearing all that lifted make up and clothes but there is absolutely no reason to and you’re just plain dumb if you post a photo of yourself or even a profile picture that is used on your other social media accounts because your accounts can be searched for just by reverse googling the images.

14. TURN OFF ANONYMOUS ASKS. this lowers the chances of someone harassing you and if it was someone who genuinely wants lifting help, they can go create an account to ask off-anon.

that’s all i have so far, if anyone has any extra tips, feel free to let me know and i’ll edit the post.

The “fuck” haul

Basically I went to D011@® +®ee and I think a customer saw me so I dumped and fucked off, then went to D011@® Geñe®ä1 then realized I concealed in fromt of a camera and then fucked off again, then because I walked all this way and I’m not wasting it I lifted from g00dwi11 because fuck g00dwi11’s greedy ass

Tell them to go to amazon.com and click on gift cards and registry, then email the gift card to (insert your email)

Just a few pieces of advice about being aware of your surroundings

- When you enter a store, is there a person standing at the entrance? Is it a greeter, LP or just some random person who happens to stand there? If there’s someone, I personally always remember their face for when I exit the store, and I always try to exit when they’re walking or looking away for a bit.

- When you’re browsing, is someone watching you? Not just people in uniform, is anyone watching you, or seemingly following you around? Could be nothing, could be plain-clothed LP.

- Trust your gut. If you feel like you’re being watched, you probably are. If you’re in a store where you lift frequently and you feel like you’re being watched, ditch it. SAs aren’t stupid, they’ll remember someone who comes in all the time but never buys anything.

- When you’re done and on your way towards the exit, take a moment to see, VERY DISCRETELY, if someone is following you. DO NOT keep looking behind you, that is super sus. Just maybe stop by a shelf near the exit and act like “oh I hadn’t seen this shirt here, better take a quick look before I leave”, or glance in a mirror, pretend to check your hair, if there are any. Don’t linger, just take a moment to see if someone’s following you or pointing at you.

- If there was no one standing at the entrance when you came in, but there’s someone standing there now, I would ditch it. Especially if you’re in a store you lift from a lot. Since LP are not allowed to stop you inside the store (you could still be on your way to pay) and often not allowed to stop you too far outside the store, they’ll try to stop you in the doorway just as you’re leaving. If this person is staring at you, don’t even try, they know. 

I’m very new to the lifting community! I live in a tiny town with the closest lifting store available is Casey’s, after that it’s a two hour walk to anywhere that’s rich and corporate. Because of that, don’t expect much except junk food and sometimes a few items from Walmart, though I may start walking around on spring break. I’m getting my license so I’m going to start lifting from the other business before stepping up to the mall 30 minutes away. I’m doing my research right now and would love some help, maybe some lift blogs that will accept questions?

I will probably focus on getting male accessories and clothes as I’m low class, or clothes I find appealing (I don’t really have a preference). I might also start boosting (I’m not quite sure what it means but I’m assuming reselling), but I don’t know a lick about what you guys post, so for now I’m researching.

Also, please tell me if you are a lifting blog! I want to follow more.

Oh god sorry I’m not good at doing a Photo™ I’m so sorry it looks like shit

Large haul!!!! (for me anyways haha) I might walk to Dollar tree tomorrow which is apparently a 30 minute walk according to google but it feels longer lol. Gonna ask my mom for a bike for my birthday (along with pokemon sun, yes I don’t have sun yet). Small enough city to have shitty stores but big enough to take awhile to walk.

Casey’s, at least mine, has one camera and it’s at the front door/register. However it’s hard to conceal since the isles are all facing to the east of the building where the registers/ pizza windows are, and there’s a lot of people. I have to make sure that no line is at the register and then go to the bathroom.
