The thing no one asked for but I thought could possibly be useful

So, this is my “lifting bag”, and I put that in quotes because I don’t actually put lifted items in here accept the occasional jar of honey that’s to heavy for my *ACTUAL lifting bags.

Group 1 is my coin purse, if I need to buy anything that is less then $1.50 to deter suspicion this is what I use, I don’t put cash in there because it is the most likely thing to be stollen from my bag and I don’t want to loose my cash.

Group 2 is kept in the outer zipper pouch of my bag, the cash is incase I see something I want but can’t lift, the lip balm is so I have something to pretend to be looking for if I ever need to conceal something in the bag, and the spinners are used for stress relief after I leave a store with a particularly large haul (ex. 244 copic markers), helps me not look so antsy and freaked out while walking away with a store because I have something to focus on.

*Group 3, this is my actual lifting equipment. The two forks are used to remove pencil tags and gator tags, they work 99% of the time and don’t set off magnet detectors, and the bundle of plastic is my shopping bags, a total of two rue 21 bags, a GameStop bag, and about ten unused Walmart bags, all folded and kept together with a hair tie, these are held inside my bag, the forks on the bottom and the shopping bags in an inside pocket. This does cause that pocket to bulge on the inside, but this makes it impossible to see the forks without looking for them!

I WILL NOT walk out of a store with something in my bag if I can help it! SAs and LPs can check your bag and WILL check your bag if they think you’re sus.

You can fit so much on your person; more than you think. Get yourself a waist trainer. I always wear a waist trainer and leggings under a pair of jeans and a sports bra under my top. I always have a jacket on me just in case I’m a bit lumpy, and the jacket ALWAYS has inside pockets.

Bonus if your top is a turtle neck, bc then you can wear other tops/ dresses underneath and they won’t peak from over the top.

I also try to avoid concealing on floor, but obvs that’s not always possible. That’s what the jacket is for!

My inside pockets are LARGE! I sewed them in myself so I know exactly how much they fit. AND YOU SHOULD TOO!

After my first few weeks as LP, I’m noticing patterns in who we bust that are disturbing and actually contradict the entire point of having LP.

As you already may know, I was hired as LP for a busy Târget, close to a big city. I personally have acted as plainclothes and have watched cameras.

90% of the people we bust are people lifting under $100 of stuff. We almost never catch the people doing huge grocery walkouts!!!

⭐️ people who do huge walkouts blend in really well with their carts filled to the brink. If they have a big cart and no purse/bag and no sus behavior, they literally look like just about anyone else ⭐️

⭐️ They are really not watched by us if their cart is ¼ full, they’re shopping, checking prices, etc. ⭐️

⭐️ We have up to 4 LP on a busy afternoon. Our eyes are typically focused towards nervous people WITH LARGE BAGS or those who enter the restroom. We cannot possibly track everyone with a cart!! ⭐️

⭐️ However, those with reusable grocery bags are watched!!! Take note!!! LP knows about this trend. Don’t do it guys unless the vast majority of people are using them too, like in Whole Foods ⭐️

It’s frustrating because we typically never catch those doing huge walkouts, they’re hiding in plain sight. Those hauls are easily $300 and upwards, and we will only catch them on camera afterwards. More often than not, we follow sketchy looking people with huge bags and end up busting them with like $100 of stuff.

At my store, LP doesn’t watch who passes the registers without paying! It may be because it’s multiple floors?? So multiple exists?

LP is very very focused on electronics. SA’s must say into the walkie that “person x just bought an iPhone, tv, etc. And will be exiting the building” bc every person with electronics in their hand must be accounted for.

Anyone getting groceries and stopping for high ticket electronics is an instant red flag. Remember, electronics at targèt is HEAVILY MONITORED.

She looked nervous, had tons of groceries, and then decided to stop by the electronics department. She put in a middle priced camera and a few storage chips. Very sus. Like who shops for groceries then suddenly thinks “oh I must get me a $300 camera and some storage chips! Golly ! Gosh! Almost forgot that right along with the butter”

Anyway, we had plainclothes set up by the exits bc we suspected she’d bolt.

Here is what my bb lilac-lift told me when I was just starting out with VS:

Okay so I’m trying to collect information on sp1rAt Hall0weed and I don’t know if this should discourage me or encorage me to lift? They sell trump merch and costumes that are culture appropriation and yell at their employees? Owned by Spencer’s? But people are also saying that managers don’t care or the employees don’t!Let’s discuss! I honestly think the only thing bad is that employees are getting yelled at, as for the donating don’t all big brands donate to something?i wouldn’t wanna hurt any of those donations but I really fucking hate shitty brands but I can’t tell if spirit Halloween is shitty or not

EDIT: found some more information ig is owned by Spencer’s so it also sells the same items. Lowkey- rob them.even with the lifting they can still donate with what they make at Spencer’s.

✨💍 The Jewellery Haul 💍✨

BóõHôö:

Pinafore Dress (black)

Blue Overalls

Black Overalls

Tattoo Choker With Gem

Gold Heart Necklace

BóõHôö: $129.99

Rómwê & Shëîn

A Bunch Of Pins For My Pin Collection

Necklaces and Anklets

Fun & Silly Earrings

Rómwê: $142.50

Shëîn: $79

Total: $351.49

BóõHôö keeps track of how many things you've DNA'd so I'd be careful with them and not do two in a row, or too frequently. Also if you leave it more than 14 days they pmuch tell you to get fucked so do it quick!!

Shëîn is pretty easy, they take a little longer to respond than rómwê does but getting the refund wasn't hard or stressful at all.

Rómwê is laughably easy, I got offered a refund in the 2nd reply back from them. As long as you don't mind your stuff taking up to two months to arrive, you can get a pile of shit for really cheap. Each jewellery item was between $1 and $4. I love them, they're the best. It is cheap quality tho, but you get what you pay for.

Never gotten caught with these bad boys

-Cup trick: where you take a not clear cup, like a coffee cup, and while walking around the store drop small items into your (clean and empty!) cup. 

-Elastic belt trick: take a piece of elastic from the sewing store (the good kind) and tie/sew it around your waist. Make sure it fits, but is not tight! Then, wear a semi-baggy jacket (It’s that time of year!) and when you conceal, do it on your person by sneaking this to fit snuggly into that elastic band

-The inflatable bag: Take a very large ziplock or two, depends on the bag size, and blow them and stick them in your bag to make it look full. Then, while in a blind spot, as you put things in slowly deflate the bag to make it look proportionally as full as it was when you left. 

-The Big Boots: take a large pair of non-sus knee high boots. make sure you can fit like, half your arm in the boot, because its so roomy. you know what I’m taking about. As you “shop”, drop things like jewelry, makeup, small packs of condoms, stickers, buttons, you know the drill. It may get uncomfortable in your shoe, but eh. Worth it, right?

Some (un)common knowledge:

-If you’re gonna lift clothes then for petes sake look at the price tag before you hold it up to your body or take it to the dressing rooms

-Don’t lift nail polish by putting up your sleeve it will fall out and break and BAM you’re caught

-Putting something between your thighs as a way of lifting is really hard because you have to walk out perfectly normal

-If you get shaky hands or get really nervous, pull out your phone and pretend to call/text someone to meet you at the store. This way, when you leave without buying anything, it looks like you went outside to find your friend

-Dont start pulling out your goods in the parking lot. Rookie mistake here. Wait until you get in your car with doors locked and windows rolled up. Even better, wait till you’re at home. 

-Scope the store out a couple of days before you lift

-Trust your gut

-Try to avoid backpacks; instead go for a purse type thing. Easier to slip things in

- Don’t try to avoid LP. Ask at them only one or two times, if you make eye contact with them, just smile and wave. If you think someone is watching you, go up to Lp and ask shit like “do u have wet n’ wild mascara? Is there any pink ribbon here? What foundation tone should i use?” Seem interested while they talk. But don’t get too friendly. 

-Be cautious and observant but not paranoid and jumpy

-if you get a bad vibe, leave with what you’ve already concealed. Not getting your hair dye is better then getting a fine.

-Lifting while wearing a skin tight sundress is hard mode. 

-Barcodes don’t set off alarms unless theres a RDIF under it so check!! 

-If you cant afford a hook or magnet, then use a seam ripper for what you can. If you don’t mind small holes in clothes, that is. 

I havnt posted a haul in a long time. I did a dna from shêîń and it was almost too easy.

all my DNA experiences with details

Høllíster $39- Super easy livechat, got refund within 3 days. Does not refund you for shipping.

Päcsün $36- Livechat, makes you wait an additional week past when it says “Delivered” to contact back and get refund. Doesn’t refund shipping.

Shêïn $85- So easy. Livechat tries to scare you by mentioning “police”, but nothing will actually happen. Refund takes awhile, though.

Mäcÿ’s $68- Hard to actually get to the livechat, person talks in broken English and will assure you that the package will arrive by the end of the day. Makes you contact back the next day and say it still isn’t there. The next day you get your refund almost instantly, though.

nÿx $29- Easiest DNA I’ve ever done. Sent three messages in livechat and then immediately had my refund.

Nïkë $70- Great livechat, got refund within minutes. They say they’re going to do an investigation but just give you the refund, so I’m guessing they don’t really. Doesn’t refund for shipping.

Dr Märtëns $130- Don’t have a live chat and just never responded to my email? It’s been like three weeks and they still have not.

Zümïëz $50- Does not have a livechat (at least I couldn’t find one.) Email takes a few days but refund is easy to get.

Ämërïcän Ëägle $64- Completely easy livechat. Takes a few seconds to get the refund, but makes you wait three days until after the package says delivered to contact.

V/S $105- Took two seconds on the live chat to get refund, they don’t even ask questions.

The drop technique and my quick concealing method shown.

Drop technique notes: 1. Use a bag with a shoulder strap so you don’t have to think about where the handles are. You do not want to worry about getting your product tangled up in them. Another benefit of a shoulder strap bag is that there is no gap between the bag and your body (that the product could fall through). 2. Use a structured bag, so that if your product hits one of the sides (as my peanut butter & honey palette did!!), it falls inside anyway! Floppy purses are bad for this because your product can become unbalanced on the cloth if it hits the side, and end up on the floor. Cloth is just one more thing for the product to become tangled in. 3. See how the inside-tops of each side of my purse are angled slightly inward (toward the zipper)? These are your bumpers, babes. Like rails in Mario kart, these guide your product into the bag, so you don’t have to think about it at all. 4. I usually do something with my hand while doing this, as an excuse to move my arm and drop the product. Because I don’t touch my purse, it was clearly “just an accident” if I were to be caught. 5. Once this is done, immediately zip up your purse. Preferably do the concealment and zipping in a blindspot, or the closest thing to a blindspot as you can find. Also a great tip: walk into the store with your phone in a pocket. After dropping, place your phone into your purse and zip it up *without looking* at it.

I just read a post about how a lifter here conceals hangers (I literally just read it and then now I can’t find it, sorry) by pinning them to her back.

I just want to warn everyone to check hangers thoroughly. I was at a store that i frequent (for actual shopping) not to long ago just browsing, and I happened to pick up a shirt and look it over. For some reason I decided to take a peek at the hanger (shouldn’t have done this on the floor but curiosity got the better of me) and I noticed a small hole in the bottom of this wooden hanger. The thicker plastic ones had them too.

For some reason it struck me as odd, so I looked closer and there was a very faint flashing light inside the hole. I ended up taking it to try on so I could look closer. The fitting room was dark so I took the opportunity to ask the attendant why the hanger was flashing. She was okay talking to me because I always chat people up and make friends with atrendants.

IT’S A GPS TRACKER. It’s like those little tags you can get to put on your things and use an app to find where they are!! Not only will it set off the alarm, but they can pull up a program to see where it is.

Then she said they are working towards getting more discreet ones that are basically undetectable. They’re expensive but they have helped catch more people.

I left after chatting with her and got curious. I went into several other stores and 5/7 of them had some kind of security device on the hanger. Whether it was just a soft tag or a full on GPS tracker.

It’s becoming more common in my mall because it’s near a few high schools so the theft rate is really high.

Today’s haul:))
