I made a little diagram about something that I think is very important but have never seen discussed, which is how to properly leave a store

I find this is extremely important when you know you are going to beep, think you might beep, or have a feeling they are onto you. If you were never even seen leaving there is no way for them to stop you. I find this works best in mall stores which tend to have the big open exits with displays near them but the concept can be applied to any store.

Pick your store, spots and the time. Timing is everything. know what they doing or when.

One like to dress neutral color and blend into the Environment. Exit calmly and get lost into the Is crowd or environment.

If you beeps get out the mall find that tag, never do it front of the cameras or in front of security.

That's one way of doing a walkout guys.

I don't know about countries outside the UK, but over here supermarkets are currently encouraging customers to use a service called 'SmartShop'.

Essentially how it works is they give you a tiny scanning device that you may use to scan your items and put them in your shopping bag as you go.

Which is great for lifters because it means putting items directly in your bag is no longer suspicious.

But to prevent you from just pretending to scan items, the device makes a very loud beeping noise every time you scan one, so obviously just slipping something into your bag with no 'beep' sound will still look like criminal activity.

But!!!

Something that I realized today was that when you use the touchscreen on the device to cancel an item, the scanner doesn't make any sound. So you can go around the store scanning everything, then just as you're about to check out (you do this by going to a self checkout machine and linking it to the scanning device, the self checkout downloads you cart and then you pay there as normal) you can just delete the most expensive items from your cart and save money! There's no weighing involved so the machine can't actually verify what's in your bag.

like yeah its cool to give lifting tips but you seem to forget that most stores have lnstagr@m and tlkt0k and twltter accounts. i can assure u someone is seeing your lifting tips and making it harder for people to actually lift.

Like the first rule of fight club is you don't talk about fight club. The first rule of l1ftb1r is you don't talk about l1ftb1r.

DO NOT USE LIFTING TAGS! You are endangering l1ftb1r and yourself!!!! If you have used tags edit your posts so they don't have tags

Wáłmàrt - Has dedicated LP/AP. They are easy to spot however. Avoid electronics, women’s, baby care, makeup, perfume, clearance, and jewelry (if applicable). Best is kids toys, and grocery. Will chase, prosecute, and ban. Not supposed to call police for anything under $25 but I’ve had friends experience otherwise. Goes for all stores operating under Sám’s Club/Wáłmárt INC.

Mïçhàèł’s - Unfortunately some stores have LP/AP and are dedicated (like mine). Mostly are plainclothes walking around with earpieces and/or walkie talkies. Has alarm/censors. Avoid lïfting in fine arts. Toys, home decor, and notebooks/sketchbooks are a safer bet. Has sensors located around all doors and doors will lock if activated to avoid a theft occurring (some may some may not).

Płátö’ś Cłösèt - No LP. Tags almost everything. Easy beginner level store for who wants to use tools. Staff are younger to teenagers who could probably care less about merchandise. Few cameras, and mirrors. Just conceal between articles of clothing.

Bôôks à Mïllīon - Has cameras but not actively monitored. No known LP/AP. Best to conceal in children’s isles, religious readings, and clearance. Avoid records/vinyls. Only store manager has the power to call police/prosecute.

Sèphörà - Mall stores are severely dangerous. You’re better off just going to ûłtá. *Avoid the ones that are connected to a JÇP*. Will chase, prosecute, ban, etc. Stand alone stores such as outdoor malls/shopping centers are your safest bet if you plan to make a fast escape.

Tárgèt - Similar to Walmart but zero blind spots as there are a lot of cameras and can rotate. Dedicated AP. Will chase, prosecute, ban, and case build. Better off to go to one location and never go back after a łift.

Höt Töpic/Böx Lûnch - They operate under the same parent company Sycamore Partners. Some stores my have cameras but are hard to see.

Hardest is Cöáçh. Avoid Boutiques. Safest bet is outlet locations as they are cheaper and slightly bigger than normal retail locations in bigger malls.

Aèröpośtale - (How are they still in business lmao) Cameras are monitored but only LP is store managers or PIC. Not known to prosecute will most likely ask for merchandise back.

Will chase, prosecute, and ban you via making you sign a trespass. Cameras rotate and they do case build. Will issue civil demand. If you get charged you may have to contact an attorney. They will remember you as I scoped out the location 3 weeks prior to my lïft. They remembered me.

Wàłgrèéñ’ś & ÇVŠ - Regional LP. Will get called in when a theft has occurred (but usually ORC from employees). Won’t prosecute usually but will chase or try to get a picture of your license plate. Avoid liquor isles. Inner isles without the mirrors are your safest bet.

i was out with a friend and we went to FYE. i showed her some socks, she liked them, i put them in my bag without checking for tags or rdif’s. this was mistake number 1

i detagged 4 cds i was getting as gifts for my friends. then i moved on to mini brands and an animal crossing mystery keychain. my friend cashed out and we walked out. we beeped. i stood by the escalator and she went back in and let the lady check her bag. my friend didn’t lift so no harm no foul.

the lady waved me back in and i didn’t beep on my way in. my mind was racing because i didn’t think there was anything on me that could’ve gone off. i had a bag from hot topic and let her look in it cause all my stuff was in my purse. she asked to look in my purse and the conversation went as follows

me: “i rather you not i have a lot of weird personal medical stuff i have to carry with me.”

her: “well ok if that’s the case we can get security people here to take a look for me”

me: “that’s not necessary, i probably just beeped because of my heart monitor. my doctor warned me it could set off stuff like this sometimes.”

her: “well you didn’t go off coming in so i have to insist on checking your bags”

me: “ma’am i’m within my rights to refuse a bag search. i’m telling you it was just my heart monitor. it’s done this before.”

her, turning to the phone: “ok then i’ll just get security up here”

me: i don’t have anything

her, getting in my business: you wouldn’t have gone off if you didn’t. hand it over and i won’t call them. i know you took something

so i reaches in my bag and grabbed the first thing i touched. one of the cds i detagged. she waved it past the towers and when it didn’t go off she told me “keep it coming”

at this point there’s a line of 5 people behind me and my friend. i’m losing my mind over this lady being fucking aggressive and embarrassed that 5 people are witnessing it. SA lady turns to address one of the customers because she thinks she’s recording. she bitches at the lady that she’s not allowed to (pretty sure she is) and the customer just tells her to calm the fuck down and told her she shouldn’t be acting like this to anybody no matter what she thinks i did.

she threatens to get security again so i just hand over everything to get my hot topic bag back and leave with my criminal record untouched. i didn’t figure out it must have been the socks until i got to my car.

i got cocky and greedy. i just can’t believe it was a fucking pair of socks that got me
