All lifters, whether baby or veteran, SHOULD know these rules to stay safe. Me being caught twice was a result from not following these. This is just advice!

Wear an outfit you are comfortable in, but that also looks presentable and “rich/classy”. Wear things that are suitable for the weather. DO NOT wear a big fat baggie fucking hoodie. DO NOT wear a whole black outfit.

Do NOT steal from your job. They WILL find out. Internal theft is more looked into than regular theft. Do NOT take chances like this.

ALWAYS check for cameras. Don’t listen to “if the screen in your JÇP Sëphörä is black then it means the cameras don’t work...” THIS got me caught. And it came from a good friend as well. ALWAYS assume there’s cameras watching you and someone is watching them.

Talk to SAs, ask questions if you WANT, but it’s not necessary. In some cases this makes you memorable. I don’t speak to SAs unless I must, not only because it’s out of my regular nature, but because I do believe it makes the SA look at you more (to see if you purchased what you asked for, etc.).

ALWAYS body conceal tools and booster bags! When I was caught at JÇPhora LP took out my booster bag (that’s in a pencil case) but didn’t open it. It was in a zippered pocket in my purse (I didn’t body it since I wasn’t going to steal anything with tags.) I am so lucky he didn’t open it.

Whenever you’ve got a lot of items, DUMP (if you’re able to). If you’re caught, dumping your previous items can turn what would be a felony into a misdemeanor.

DO NOT GET COCKY. BE AS INCONSPICUOUS AS YOU CAN. Meaning: be as invisible as you can.

Don’t hit the same store more than once in the same trip. Associates WILL remember you and call you out.

Don’t steal from small mom & pop shops.

Wait two weeks or more before going to the same mall/shop/center to lift. Try making small purchases in between your lifting trips at those shops. You can always return what you bought at another store.

Try to use a shopping bag to conceal in, not just your purse. Äëröpöstälë gives me bags whenever I ask for one to “put my jacket in”. They’re awesome bags to conceal in. Not only does this make it look like you spent money, but who normally thinks you’d conceal in shopping bag?

Always run away from LP if you can. This is better than a fine, charge, etc. I could’ve and should’ve ran when I was caught at Wälmärt, but I was with someone. Always good to run if it’s a stand alone store, not so much a mall.

Do not get greedy. I’m learning this now. You might want a big haul, with a nice big total, but are you really going to use those items you’re stealing? Are they really gonna sell? Remember, you don’t really need 23 palettes (unless you’re a MUA), you don’t need 9 eyeliners, etc. Please save yourself from greed and realize what you use and don’t use. Donate what you can. Recycle what you can. Don’t lift items just to have them.

capitalism is the virus

feel free to use :)

it’s possible, even tho i don’t really recommend it. it’s possible to get lots and be (relatively) safe about it too. some things i’ve figured out:

1. stores that don’t have lp/don’t have the money or resources to amp up lp are generally goldmines. i’m talking about the usual easy places like claires/icing, maybe hollister depending on if yours is high-theft, chain mall stores that don’t get tons of traffic and have only one or two people working but that will be busy come friday

2. the reverse of that, obviously, is don’t fuck with big places known to amp up lp on black friday unless you’re damn sure you know what you’re doing. lp is expecting you to lift and they’re 10x more attentive on bf than any other day. walmart knows bf is a big theft, big chaos day. they’re not stupid, so don’t you be either

3. if you can’t crowd conceal, don’t even think about going honestly. you’re not gonna get any peace. if you can’t conceal while customer x is looking away or while squeezing past customer y, you’re gonna be stressed and nervous and sus wandering around looking for a blindspot you’ll never find

4. dressing room sas are gonna be overwhelmed in most stores. use it to your advantage. if somebody walks out of a previously-locked dressing room, get your ass in there before the door closes behind them. sa looks frazzled? they won’t have time to count you in and out, won’t have the presence of mind to remember what all 8 people in the dressing rooms had with them. don’t be sloppy, judge your situation accordingly, and you could walk out with lots of nice shit.

5. the longer the day goes on, the messier everything gets. again, use this to your advantage. especially if you wanna go on saturday after bf, which i’d recommend pretty highly instead of bf itself if you’re in the states

6. bf is different depending on where you are. i’m canadian, so bf isn’t necessarily small, but it’s not a massive insane blowout like in america lmao. again, judge your situation accordingly

Maybe I’m just not following the right blogs, but I never see these stores in posts!

1. Office Depot: you can’t buy a 4.0, but you can buy the most wonderful school supplies ever! Specifically this store, though, because a) there are only cameras in the desk/chair/computer sections, b) few customers and SAs, c) the high walls are good shelter, d )no LP? It’s like 2 cashiers and some tech people who don’t care.

2. Nordstrom: don’t let the big name scare you! BP. is my favorite brand to shop from there because a) too cute! b) dressing rooms are monitored but they don’t count your items, c) nothing is tagged d) I believe they only prosecute if you get greedy and take a LOT.

3. Old Navy: seriously, one of the easiest places! I recommend it for beginners or seasoned shoplifters that want something simple. They definitely don’t always have the most trendy pieces, but they’re bomb for basics (jeans, plaid/flannel, t-shirts) and athletic wear, and a) only some things are tagged b) dressing rooms aren’t monitored c) they don’t really care if you beep on the way out d) shoes are the easiest fucking thing here! Take em into the dressing room (detag if necessary) and slip them in your bag or literally just wear them out e) no annoying SAs.

4. Gap: again, it’s fancy but don’t freak out! I like them because they have really nice basics and athletic wear and a) fitting rooms aren’t monitored b) only some things are tagged c) one time, I walked out of there with something tagged (literally not even trying to shoplift, I totally just forgot a had it), the alarm went off, the cashier smiled/winked/waved at me??

5. Starbucks: an untapped gold mine! a) baristas are waaaay too busy to care/told not to worry, b) nothing’s tagged c) hella helped me work on my concealing skills. I might make a whole post about this later.

BE SAFE!

-DNA: Did not arrive.

It’s really easy to DNA stuff online. Just email or live chat (i prefer livechat) the company and say that you never received the product, and that you were really excited to get it/disappointed it never came.

For Ämäzön, Wälmärt, Ültä, Tärgët, etc, it’s best to have an active account with actual purchases on there. Even after your scam, buy cheap things once in a while so you can scam again. I’ve done that with Tärgët & have scammed over $400 in items on the same account (with like 10 legitimate purchases).
