My first haul that wasn’t just me nabbing a candy bar in a spur of the moment decision. It’s not much but I was worried I was acting suspicious and it’s best to start small (right?). 

Please please PLEASE I’m begging y’all to think before you act. Don’t do something just for the notes. Don’t take stupid high risks just because you know you’ll get a lot of comments. This shit is illegal. We are breaking the law. We need to remember that at all times. Please do not take big risks. It’s not worth it. Don’t put yourself in danger of getting caught just because you want to one up other lifters.

No shes a lifter

“Just a PSA from a former employee: Go to town at Urban Outfitters. They do not have cameras throughout the store. The only camera at UO is at the store entrance, and it is not actively monitored (only used as reference later on should an incident occur). There’s no LP in store, though some high volume stores will post a uniformed guard at front. They have a no chase policy for their employees, so even if you’re stopped at the door, they can not pursue you if you simply leave. But possibly the most important thing is their fitting room policy - you can bring as many articles of clothing into the fitting rooms with you as you want - 10, 20, even more. Though they are supposed to count your items before you enter and after you leave, bringing a large number of items in with you makes it extremely difficult to keep track of that number, especially on a busy day. Some employees are also a lot less zealous about counting than others. Some will ask you for the number without actually counting themselves, and some won’t even care about the number at all - YMMV on that. You are only allowed to bring clothing into the fitting room, so if you’re trying to bring jewelry, accessories, underwear, gadgets or whatever into the room with you, make sure they’re concealed first. I suggest casing the fitting room on a busy day to see how they’re handling it. As for security tags, all UO stores use the same smooth black clamshell magnetic tags which are easily removed by a strong magnet. They typically only tag items $20 and over, but YMMV on that as well. Some stores have special tags for sunglasses which can also be removed with a magnet. They also carry a number of expensive electronic items, such as cameras, which are spider wrapped. If you notice that the fitting room people aren’t checking very thoroughly, you can hide one of these items under a pile of clothing, take it into the fitting room, and work off the spider wrap. Note that they may also soft tag some items such as sock or underwear which don’t have hard tags, so always check the packaging for those (soft tags will always be in a place that you can find them, as they are only added to items after they arrive at the store). And as for the employees themselves, most of them are people under 30 only hired to fit a certain aesthetic. They don’t receive LP training and are told to give exceptional customer service to suspected shoplifters, so if anyone is paying extra attention to you, you might have given yourself away. The code terms used on radio for shoplifters is Mr. and Mrs. Nick, so if you hear that they definitely know. For the most part they are understaffed. If you can conceal something out of the line of sight of an employee, you’re golden, since again - no cameras.” – xcepter

How many lifters here looking forward to wearing bulky jackets and such? Yesterday, I had to conceal under a t-shirt. Worked, but it would be really nice with my jacket that straight up has a laptop pocket. Excited to pull out that bad boy when it starts to snow and all.

I feel like as a community we should all put our skills and resources together to come up with new tips and methods. Cameras and security have gotten more advanced and I feel like so should we. I see so many posts that are so out dated and policies are so different now. I feel like we should find out if store policies have been updated to deal with theft, camera updates, tag changes, status of LP at different stores, new concealing methods etc.. all of this seems like a lot but I feel like if we all are making a conscious effort no matter how big or small the blog and we all make posts about the information we know it would be a breeze. Idk just my thoughts

- I was almost caught at a store next to my school (stupid I know), they didn’t see me conceal on camera or in person, but they still sent video of me over to the school cop and she tried to get a confession out of me. Lied to me and said they caught me. LUCKILY I GREW UP IN A COP FAMILY SO I KNEW THIS WAS BULLSHIT, and that if they had any real evidence I would have been charged. 

UPDATE ON MY PUPPUP: Things aren’t going so good. He’s getting worse and the vet said to come back in. I can’t do that until I pay off the rest of the old vet bill and get a copay for the new one. 😥 So basically he’s going downhill and there’s nothing I can do. I lost my job back in december so I don’t have any money coming in. I don’t have a ride to lift and nothing to boost. The only thing I can do is make clothes basically. If you want to help out DM me and I’ll link you to my online boutique 💕 Thanks.

Just my two cents.

This is why I’m gonna have to start hitting my local Sephora. It’s 10X harder but fuck they always have the stuff I wanna lift. Like dude stop taking so many pallets at one time from One store. And it’s not even the modern renaissance it’s every urban decay and too faced pallets. So just stop being greedy.
