One of my coolest lifts to date! I was so proud that day. Haul from last month.
EVERYTHING pictured/in the frame was lifted within 2 hours including the stacks of coloring books.
I am way too lazy to add up the total on this one, but it’s definitely …
Around <$3k~

Haul from last month that didn’t upload for some reason
The fact that this amount of crap equals over $2k where I live is DISGUSTING.

The original post has way too many notes, but I also felt the need to repost to add some recent and relevant info. These hidden security cameras are real, and they are prevalent. They have been said to be at Wa1mar+ and U1+a (usually in chains in major cities).
A general rule of thumb is if the store or section of the store seems too good to be true (a major chain store with very few visible cameras or way too perfect/convenient blind spots) then you can suspect hidden cameras. Looking for these cams will be harder to hide since you’ll really have to study the ceiling and such much more closely, but keep your eye out for a small black hole that can be seen in these pictures. If anyone has any additional info to add, please do!
Stay safe and stay lucky my friends 🍀

what r some tips for newbies that seem obvious but aren't? for example I literally thought barcodes were important for so long lmaooo
lmaooo we've all been there😖
hmm, these are only my opinions (and some pet peeves), so they won't be one size fits all tips. but yeah
don't over-act and draw any attention - i've seen people make a big show out of checking their phone and having a loud fake phone conversation in order to seem natural in a store. i've also seen posts where the op recommends pretending that someone called you to say that a loved one got in a car accident so you can exclaim in horror and rush out of the store. or another post where someone wanted to see if the security towers worked so they "accidentally" took an item too close to the towers to set them off, then ran back into the store like 'omg sorry!!' like, most customers are quiet and minding their own business as they shop, so drawing attention to yourself will only make you memorable and sus imo. it seems to be a newbie thing to overdo the customer act out of nerves
acting too chummy with the SAs. where i live, shoppers are usually silent on their own and only interact with the SAs when approached or if they're having trouble finding something. if an SA greets you at the doorway (rare), they might get a smile or a mumbled hi, but not much more. if you're in a place like this then too much interaction is a bit sus, especially if your nerves make you chirpy. i had a newbie lifter friend who said 'hiiiii!!!!!' every time she entered a store near an SA and it ALWAYS got us sussed😭😭 btw this isn't to say don't be nice to the SAs, but there is such thing as acting too familiar. mimic the customers around you
i guess leaving packaging behind. this ties into the barcode thing, but every newbie lifter does it at some point. it's a red flag that your store has a thief, and we don't want to tip a store off to that
the art of casual lifting and misdirection. i worked at a topshop once and the number one red flag for spotting potential lifters was seeing someone touching merch with their hands but looking everywhere else. i get why ppl do this - when you're stuffing merch into your bag you don't want to be looking straight at it since that's a big tip off. but then you get into the habit of doing that while you're scoping the place out and it looks super sus. look at what your hands are examining like a shopper would, don't let those eyes wander so obviously. if your other hand is busy stuffing merch into your bag that's fine, but your eyes need to be fixed on the decoy merchandise for the misdirection to work
rfids, cut them down the middle to deactivate them. they've got that metal circle, right? they only work when the circle is complete, so slicing them down the middle will stop them from working. it's easy to remember that way imo, but newbies get paranoid and slice the shit out of them, which i totally get. but just breaking the circle will work just as well, and it's less time-consuming
booster bags don't keep magnet detectors from detecting magnets. booster bags work as faraday cages - they block electromagnetic signals from escaping, which is why they work on rfids and hard tags. but magnet detectors can sense magnetic signals, not electromagnetic, so a faraday cage won't shield your magnet from detection. neither will a metal box or burying the magnet in clothing - i don't think there's anything that will keep a magnet detector from sensing the magnetic signals. if you're scared of your magnet being detected, don't bring the magnet
also, magnet detectors are a lot rarer than you think. you won't find them everywhere. the way i used to measure it was 1/15 urban outfitters had them based on my own experiences😂 you can spot them pretty easily - they're slim glass towers installed alongside regular ones. if you accidentally go into a store that has them with your magnet, body conceal your magnet and leave after a brief time browsing to avoid looking sus. you can also enter and exit the store in a group if you know of the towers but want to use your magnet anyway. newbies seem very scared of these towers, which i get, but they're not common at all
you don't have to stop for an SA or LP at the doors. obviously this depends on your country's laws. i think newbies in particular become paralysed by fear and consent to a search when they don't have to. the authority that SAs and LP hold isn't as powerful as you think, and they don't have the lawful right to make you consent to a search. you could go full Karen to avoid this if you're old enough, but sometimes a simple "no" or "no thanks" will suffice. don't get sucked into an argument either, just refuse or ignore them and exit as fast as you can without running. again, leaving in a group is helpful for this since you can feign ignorance and leave without responding (don't make eye contact lol)
you can't physically lift items out of the reach of security towers. towers detect things an equal distance around the towers. if two towers are a metre apart, that is the extent of their reach all around, above, and below them. if the merch is a metre away from the towers at the entrance, that is the extent the towers can detect tag signals. just saying this bc i've seen newbies suggest putting tags/a magnet in their bun, or pretending to stretch as they exit the store with an item in their fist to avoid setting off the towers. that won't work sadly
don't over-explain yourself, it's a signifier of nerves. if an SA approaches you to see if you need help, a simple 'no thanks' or 'no thank you i'm just browsing' is fine. nip it in the bud and don't provide more detail than necessary. it feels curt when you're nervous but most customers don't want to chat imo
make sure not to react physically to things around you. if someone sets off the security towers while you're browsing don't look around, continue as you are. ignore people who walk by you, don't glance at everyone who comes your way. this is because LP know that lifters are twitchy so sometimes they'll set up nearby distractions to see if you're keeping an eye on your surroundings
okay i'm scraping the bottom of the barrell and this chance to complain about my newbie pet peeves was very therapeutic, thank you!! also if you do these things dw it's all natural when you're new, plus there's always room for improvement and growth. i hope this can help any bby lifters out there💗💗💗

my personal avoid evidence habits
. never buy anything from a store you're shoplifting at with a card, they can look up the name on the card and suddenly they have very soild proof it was you
. park in the very back of the parking lot away from any camera (they can look up your plate)
. go to the bathroom (or dressing room/another blindspot) in between concealing and leaving the store, not only does this give you a change to readjusted and check for tags, it also means that there is a blind spot between you and leaving the store that prevents them from proving you didn't dump the items before you left
. body conceal when possible, so that if they catch you, you can straight up just show them your empty bag and leave
. dump stuff in between store when doing more then one store
I like doing this because it makes me feel better to know that I haven't left any type of case against me when I leave a store. once I leave there is no way to prove it was me short of dna testing, and I really don't steal enough to make them every do that. but, it's worth pointing out that you still do have to make it out of the store, so don't be crazy sus
