Always have your story straight before you go in to a store. If you lift with other people, you need to get your story straight. It’s great to make it seem like you’re killing time instead of actually shopping. Then it won’t seem sus if you leave without buying anything. These are the ones I use the most: (This is basically what I say when an SA cs me)

1. I’m just browsing. I accidentally locked my keys in my car and I’m waiting for my bf/mom/gf/etc to come open it for me. Thanks!

2. Just looking. My bf/mom/gf/etc is over at (appropriate store name) so here I am.

3. I thought I’d stop in and see if you have (product you know they don’t carry). Oh you don’t? That sucks. Thanks anyway!

so i’ve had a few ideas, to kinda get this community closer together in a way. feel free to comment and add ideas and stuff !! this may seem a bit dumb bc im new to the community but i kinda wanna be friendship with u all.

💐a discord server. for those of you that don’t know, discord is like a more anonymous skype? we can all go in a server and talk via voice and text.

💐movie nights using rabb.it, i feel like that’s a cute lil idea. we can have a group all sit in a rabb.it room and we can vote on movies to watch and idk.

💐penpal type things?? idk like easier ways to do swaps, gifts and even on holidays like “secret santa” shit.

Go search ‘shoplift’ or ‘shoplifter’ on the r/TalesFromRetail sub. There are TONS of threads and most of them are pretty detailed on what tipped the SA off, what the shoplifter did wrong, what they did, etc so you can learn from others’ mistakes! 

Today was my first lift since being caught. Talk about PARANOID!! It took me 5 HOURS to hit 3 stores in the mall.  

Pre-Caught, I’d hit about 5-7 stores in less than 2 hours and get 10x the amount!  I miss the confidence, adrenaline and FUN I had. I see it in you guys now.  Enjoy every minute of it people. I really hope to get it back one day.  Baby Steps….Or, baby hauls. 

So I thought several people were LP in any and every store I went into today. I was crazy paranoid!!!  ANYONE who made eye contact with me, pissed me off.  Especially MEN in Victoria Secret. Mind your own business Asshole!!! Constant staring, constant looking. A lifters pet peeve! Especially today.

So one mistake I made when I got caught was I paid zero attention to the two LP that were following me on foot. I kinda noticed them, but it wasn’t until afterwards that I kept kicking myself for not paying more attention.

After you leave a dressing room, walk away and then quickly go back as if you left something in it…because hopefully you did leave a few items behind so you have an excuse. Anyone rush in there? Pay attention.

You finally get into a dressing room to conceal and hear someone  go in the room next to you. If it’s not that busy, be very suspicious! Look underneath if you’re able to. Not completely underneath, Hahaha, but at their feet. Are they doing anything or just sitting there? If they’re not trying on clothes or seem to be trying on 1 item for 10 minutes, be careful.

Go to random areas of the store and reach into a pile of jeans and move them or re-stack a couple shirts. That person who followed you, do they go there too and pretend to look at the same stack? How convenient.

Do they get in line behind you? Not just anyone, but a person who’s been following you, checking your dressing room or constantly on their cell phone and watching you? Watch for this.

Like, if you’re running around with a magnet or hook, go in with the intention to steal, or have a hefty total, you are ALREADY a felon. I don’t understand why people are so afraid of tin foil but think a magnet is more permissible. LOL You will be fucked either way, but there are huge benefits to disrupting the system and taking your evidence.
