Just going through it

Quick trip ~$400

Doggy is healing fine from surgery, cost me an arm but I would do anything for him.

Been into fragrances lately and also want to make sure my girl gets whatever she needed.

I noticed rich area w1nners been packing heat and putting some expensive stock right on display.

--

All items were enclosed in anti theft boxes, aka a1pha security box, these can be unlocked with an a1pha key, the same to unlock spider wraps.

When using, there is a latch that slides left or right, indicating unlock or to lock. There are some boxes that look like it has a button but it will still slide, it took my a while to figure it out because I legit though it was a button you press to open.

I don't have the same a1pha key as the video below, just one from Amazon but it's the same process.

Going to take a small break as my dog got a spinal injury and will be going through surgery.

~$750 cad

H0me$ense, b3stbuy, w1nn3rs, m4r$halls, $taples

Tools: N3odymium m4gnrt and @lpha key

H0me$ense was super busy, walked out with the knife set, blended in with a random family leaving

Perfume was concealed in my tote bag (pretty sure random shopper saw me but minded his business)

Smaller things are concealed under arm/inner pockets from light loose jacket (warm weather)

just got my alpha k3y for sp1dertags and it works almost to good. Got recommended one from Amazon from one of you lovely l1fters .

Did a quick test today today's haul lol.

Example, tj1max has two new job postings for LP and LP detective this week for a Marsha11s I like to go to.

I also saw a lp posting for a wa1mart I felt lacking in security.

at times they won't post the address of the store but it will include the postal/zip code in the job title that you can map search and find the store in the area.

Now it could mean they had staff leave and theyre back filling for the position, but could also indicate increase in loss prevention staff, specially if the area is prone to more theft activity. (The store I mention is one of them)

I also want to note that LPs that work with companies like tj1max can go to other stores in the same city. I saw a plainclothes LP that made an arrest in a winners, next week I saw the same LP in a marshalls on the other side of my city.

As much as a LP is looking for us l1fters, they also have quotas for internal investigations. They watch the store staff almost equally.

Been super busy last few weeks with work and life.

No time to post hauls but this was quick sat morning. Been doing l1fts almost hour after stores open and it's quite relaxing.

But at the last store, sp0rtch3k, I l1fted a hat and took off the security tag and put it in my pocket to hide it somewhere else.

I ended up forgetting to take the tag out of my pocket, walked out of the store and dinged the alarm.

But fate blessed me as the cashier and security guard told me im good (I was also wearing the hat I li1fted out lol).

Just felt so stupid as I was in the clear but it was my mistake that could have got me caught. Pls friends don't be like me.

Small haul after losing at the casino :$

For people that like to b0rrow here, theyre quite active in communications for suspicious and known l1fters.

Stores will communicate with each other pictures and detail reoccuring l1fters especially if they are in groups, have total high values ($1K or more), or hitting up multiple stores in a day.

They often communicate with police for high total value reoccuring l1fters and will send emails throughout the country (Canada) if needed between store owners.

I do notice this is mainly for people that don't conceal and are very open in their behavior.

There isn't much, or barely any communication for single l1fters that conceal well.

Obviously the high th3ft areas are their makeup/skin care/perfume for front store. But since theyre mainly a pharmacy, security and CCTV is mainly focused there as potential burglaries and stand ups for narcotics is targeted.

Staff use the term "code-5" for suspicious person/activity. Pharmacists and techs will come to the aisle to support front store to help deter theft. It's no touch policy but they will talk to you.

Too lazy to do the $$ total

Needed some gifts for my nephews and nieces

Got my girl some supplies

Most badass cover of DBS

Nice grocery haul today, might go again tomorrow, weekends I feel are easier.

retail shops I go during the weekdays during the days, usually no LPs are there until the evening.

All because of a random shopper being a karen, yelling and chasing these kids, even out of the store. She wasn't even LP or plain clothes. Just a random lady who had time that day.

She looked so smug and happy, I was fuming. I think the kids took maybe a pair of $20 sunglasses.

If I wasn't with my girlfriend, I would have slipped a bunch of un1qlo RFID price tags into her bags just so she could set off the alarm.

Fun haul while visiting my parents across town.

$475 (CAD)

Gunna lay low from b3stbuy for a bit but so happy I found some Olights. Quick tip, check near the cashier isles as they may put some unlocked valuable tech there for quick sales while people wait in line.

At Cab3llas these kn1ves are behind a glass table and require an attendee to open and show them to you. They let you demo them if you ask.

I'll keep a dupe of one of the kn1ves hidden in my pants pocket and ask to see several pocket knives at once including the real one that is based of the dupe, and have a small chat and distract them with questions on the differences and such.

While testing the pocket clip, and with decent hand slight of hand, I'll drop the knife in my pants pocket (go with cargo pants) and swap it with the dupe. Chat a bit, then thank them and leave. Their usually putting all the knives back without inspecting them. (Decent fakes will require the real one side by side to tell the difference)

Of course it's going to vary by store but I usually aim for senior aged attendants, when the store is quite busy, and Im also very familiar with the store layout.

I don't recommend this if you aren't able to have a casual conversations, do sleight of hand, and keep eye contact/awareness all at once.

For people that like to l1ft at 1ulu 🍋 stores, I happen to know someone who works corporate and filled me in on their software.

Just as a note, this is the corporate side and they use this software for all stores internationally. This doesn't incorporate mall LP as they work separately for apprehending.

Lu1u staff document all activity from suspicious persons, tags left in change rooms/inside pockets of clothes, to reoccurring people that successfully l1ft.

There's no advance tech that assists, it's mostly based off floor staff and using in store cameras. I saw some of the reported incidents and they differ by each store. Some people report the bare minimum and some people go to the extent of reporting people's full appearances, height, age. (Mainly estimates)

I've seen reports from $50 to $1000 in product being documented. If they dont have a culprit, they just report for shrinkage for corporate. but if they have a repeated suspect, they add the $ total for this person. I don't know the threshold but higher values = reason to look at cameras.

Standalone stores (not part of the mall) I assumr are handled internally and most likely call 🚨. However, I couldn't find any incidents that had any successful stops to confirm.

I still believe the best method is removing $ecurity tags (hook key) and price tags (RFID) in the change room (leave no evidence). Even though now they ask for your name (obvs provide fake) and while in the change room they actually write timestamps on the door. However it still leaves them with barely anything to document and no suspects. Just dont be greedy in value and given the reason to look at the cameras.
