#liftingtips

d0ll4r tr33- 10/10 superr easy. they have really good chocolate, snacks, and LASHES. ive read that most of the cameras are fake but there’s barely any visible in the store. most of the times the workers are always at the register and don’t really care, this is probably not the smartest thing but i always go to my local dt and the same lady sees me looking around the snacks and leave with nothing, and take note i have bright pink ass hair, so you bitches will be a-okay here!

5b3l0w- 8/10 pretty mid, if you see the manager run, theyre scary. i usually get some makeup and a fucking toblerone this bitch slaps so hard. DONTT go for the chips/snacks they’re all located on the way to the cashier so if ur planning on doing that be quick. ive also read the cameras are fake but still be careful. btw they have a bunch of zodiac incense and cute little scripting journals just make sure to cleanse it before you use it. also the crystals there are fake </3.

m1ch43ls- 7.9/10 (depending on location) easy as fuccc, but be careful with the jewelry charm section, at my loacation they’ve installed scary cameras that show a vid of u but u can jus take it to a blindspot in the store. there’s a bigg scary camera in the back but none else ive seen throughout the store, so blindspots are hella easy to find. most of the times the workers are teens so you should be okay just be careful.

tjm4xx- 7/10 (also depending on location) at my locations they’ve installed the scary cameras showing you on footage AND IF U LOOK AT IT, IT ZOOMS IN ON YOU WITH A SQUARE AROUND UR HEAD! these cameras are located throughout the store, but for normal cameras are located on the ceiling in certain aisles. for the makeup, its super easy just be careful with the nail sets, some may have rfid’s. make sure to be on the lookout for LP (for every store, some may be in dsiguise so consider every customer in the store as a threat lol).

MALL STORES

p4cs0n- 8/10 okay so for br4ndy m3lv1ll3  jewelry, CHECK CARDBOARD FOR RFID’s!  dont conceal your trash in the store, there are ways to destroy the rfid while in the dressing room using scissors, but i choose to not take that risk lmao. untagged shirts are super easy, most john galt shirts aren’t tagged so just stuff it in a hoodie then take to the dressing room. workers are teens, and they usually dgaf so go off besties. i dont know much about the cameras so make sure your blindspots are on point!

c0nv3rs3- 5/10 SOOO ME AND MY FRIENDS HAVE GOTTEN CAUGHT HERE SO IF U PLAN TO LIFT HERE MAKE SURE TO TAKE AT LEAST A MONTH BREAK FROM THAT STORE AND SECTION OF THE MALL! tbh its hella easy. have a mini backpack, go to the clearance section, there’s no cameras there. just make sure you have someone pretending to find a size of shoe to distract the worker. rest of the workers are usually talking to a customers and assisting them, or at the register.  stuff only the shoes in the bag leave the box on the highest shelf, and leave. never go back to that store. my lesson has been learned, always listen to your intuition.

UO- 10/10 all u have to look out for is possible LP’s and SA, rfid’s, and tags. this place has no cameras but most of the clothes are tagged, but can be removed with a strong magnet (havent tried that yet). underwear is super cute and untagged. wildflower cases can be easily taken out of the package and just hide the case and take a break from the store. boxers are cute look out for rfids in cardboard. books/scripting journals SUPER CUTE and easy but very rarely are rfid’s are hidden within pages so lookout for them. workers dont count how many clothes u take in the dressing room. idk anything about the cosmetics there so i suggest take a look at them next time u go if u ever plan to. jewelry all has rfid’s, but the display jewelry on those little triangle things aren’t and are super easy (they’re also usually located in blindspots)

cl41re’s/1c1ng- 8/10 the workers are usually watching so be careful idk much about cameras but be careful for the mirrors up on the ceiling, they’re obv used to be able to see u better. nails dont have rfid’s

SPENCERS: a moderately easy store seeing as there are TONS of blind spots and LP isn't employed. To top it off, cameras are never monitored, however they are low-hanging and somewhat high quality. Usually only 2-5 employees but the store is almost always crowded so if you find a blind spot it's a free for all. They wont chase but might call mall security.

What we want:

h20 piercing cleaner x2

toy cleaner

jojoba oil

hemp oil

septum and nose jewelery (we will actually have to purchase this, seeing as if you steal the jewelery they hand to you they WILL know you stole no matter what. Plus the packaging is riddled with RFID tags)

HOT TOPIC: Not that many blind spots, but employees usually don't care and rarely count clothing articles, which may have a tag or two, so check for those. Cameras are never monitored and the stores usually have a large layout so just watch out for customers and employees, find a blind spot and throw a bunch of shit into your bag They don't chase! :D.

What we want:

distressed thigh highs

over the knee thigh highs with bow

black fishnet lace thigh highs

black and white stripe arm warmers

black fishnet fingerless gloves

black floral tights

CLAIRE'S: whew lawd. I really really want to be helpful on this one but Claire's is a laughably easy place to lift from. No cameras, usually only 1 or 2 employees and if one is giving a piercing it's a free-for-all. THEY HAVE MIRRORS SO AVOID THOSE. My favorite blind spot there is behind the register if there is no one there, and that's all I have to say there.

What I want: (she doesn't want anything from Claire's apparently🙄)

Headphones

A tiara

Nail polish

VICTORIA'S SECRET: first of all lol, i feel ZERO shame in lifting from them. Please note that they do have cameras, and their SAs are trained to look out for shoplifters, however most of them are just confused college girls lol. Panties are NOT tagged. What I like to do is take a medium sized empty makeup bag and put it in my purse, and once I arrive to VS i put the makeup bag in the tote, I also drop my phone into the tote. I go around the store, picking out panties that are my size and i drop them so they can fall directly into the makeup bag. I do this with as many as I can fit into the bag and I do this with small makeup items as well. Once I'm done, I reach into the bag as if I'm looking for my phone (which i dropped in earlier) and that's the moment when i zip up the zipper of the makeup bag and pull out my phone immediately after and pretend to check the time and say something like "Damn, I gotta go. I'm late." Or something like that. Put the makeup bag in your purse and play around on your phone as you exit the store. And that's really it :) I rarely lift bras from there anymore so I can't REALLY help you there.

What I want:

a bunch of panties and some lip gloss!

BARNE'S AND NOBLES: I've never lifted from this place but I know friends who have. I'll give you the tips they gave me. There are cameras, and they are being monitored, but there are PLENTY of blind spots seeing as it is a very large store. The kid's section has no cameras tho, so if you're like me and look younger than you are, this could be for your advantage. No one expects you to steal when you're vibing in the kid's section. Most books have RFID tags, and hardcover books sometime have books engraved in the cover, so watch out for those. Most manga, some magazines, and just overall 99% of the books are tagged. Get what you want, flip through them and look for RFID tags while pretending to "read". If an employee sees you sitting down "reading" they won't suspect you unless they actually see you ripping out the tags. The worst that could happen is that they could ask you to move out of the book aisle so other customers can come through, if that happens, simply find another blind spot. Slip them into your bags like they're yours as SOON as you know they're rid of RFID tags. They won't chase, but probably will try to get you back into the store and if that doesn't work they'll try to get a license plate number or give your description to the police, neither usually goes anywhere tbh.

Ulta: The second store I've ever lifted from. This store is easy, but not laughably. I feel like this would be a starter for babylifters. This store has mild LP, so watch out for those and NEVER EVER EVER conceal in front of customers, you should never do this in general but especially NOT in an Ulta. Get to your blindspot and make sure to detag depending on what you plan on lifting. Those mfs at Ulta tag like crazy. Put everything in your bag and remember to NEVER get too greedy at this store. They have a STRICT, VERY VERY STRICT no chase policy.

What we want:

better than sex mascara

lipstick

eyeshadow

makeup brushes

black liquid and stick liner

pink liquid liner (if they have it)

bronzer

brown eyeliner

eyeliner pencil

maracuja oil

any colorful eyeshadow pallate lol

WALMART: My walmart is so easy it hurts. Maybe about 5 cameras throughout the whole store to my knowledge, so the whole thing is basically a blind spot. The makeup aisle is heavily monitored tho so whenever I'm over there I make an effort to never look up to those cameras. Grab whatever you want/need and AVOID EMPLOYEES!!! they're everywhere. As well as customers. They are the two most annoying problems I've ever had lifting from a Walmart. I've noticed that aisles where you get things such as building materials are the most empty with no cameras. People usually only go to walmart because the food is cheap, so there are a lot of families who are usually only at one side of the store. Its rare that people ever need materials like those so seek out aisles like that to use as a blind spot. Wal-Mart doesn't seem to tag that many things, but ALWAYS check no matter what store you're at. If you're lifting something on the expensive side, just check for that.

What I want:

kinder buenos x2

sugar free monster energy

paint

paintbrushes

black lace

blue eyeliner

blush

nail polish

socks

THE DOLLAR TREE:

Pretty easy store tbh. The cameras are fake, and if they aren't they're never being monitored. I don't know about ALL layouts but mine has SO many blindspots it's crazy. If you're just looking for a snack, some makeup, or maybe a meal ? (Yes, you can get a whole meal if you lift enough stuff) then the dollar tree would be your place of interest. There are almost no employees walking around the store. There are usually only 2, and they switch between working at the registers and cleaning out the front of the store or whatever. Honestly this store is so easy just stuff shit in your bag lol. Even if you get caught they won't chase or call the police. Their stock is WAYY too cheap for that. I go there to steal candy or makeup brushes which is usually not worth paying for anyways so this is a beginner store. Knock yourself out ;)

What I want:

literally anything i see there that i want😭

welllll if you actually made it this far, thank you so much! I hope this helped someone and I hope one day I can make a master list of stores myself instead of just picking selective ones but this was all i was able to do :( i really REALLY hope this helped someone lmao just remember
