If you have likes on, follows on, reblog outside of the community, or use hashtags: LEAVE.

You're putting yourself and the community at risk. There is no actual reason why you shouldn't know this, because it's one of the first tips you learn when you first join Liftblr.

It is getting ridiculous to say it over and over again, and anyone who tries to follow me while doing any of the above is getting an instant block.

Do not order this farada¥ bag set from scamaz0n:

yaokvide Large Faraday Bags with Reflective Strip- 5 Pack Faraday Cages for Laptops & Tablets & Phones & Car Keys, Faraday Key Fob Protector, Fireproof & Waterproof Anti-theft Signal Blocking Pouch

I thought because i tested it out using my phone playing music through my AirPods (put phone in bag and the music should stop playing) that it meant green light go for the mall. Was absolutely wrong and beeped at every store

[baby-win0na]

cäměra research, what little i know for now

domes- wide angle lens. fixed, panoramic view. those ones u see like barnacles on the ceiling, but can also be sticking out from a wall.

bullet (most common)- long-range, often lowlight / night vision. mostly outdoors. blindspots indoors. no remote pan/tilt. can be fixed or varifocal lens

ptz — kinda look like combo of dome & bullet or like a dome on a stick. up to 360 degrees. not wide-angle so require remote operator. 

fisheye - cannot be remotely adjusted. over 180 degrees up to 360. ultra wide angle, panoramic view. used to cover blind spots. 

turret - short & long range hd. discreet & have most coverage. 360 rotation, can be remotely controlled. but can break easily bc of moving parts, needing maintenance.

they will all have visible lenses if you look closely enough (prob bad idea). unless its those secret hidden ones that creeps put in bathrooms but i don;t think stores use those

i’m sure there are all types of combos but i also doubt stores are updating their systems often enough for u to have to worry about them.  will update if i learn more useful info

for roleplay purposes !!

[4dd1l1ftzz]

stuff i've learned recently as a baby l1ftr

don't raise suspicion. don't act shady, don't look shady. what i mean by this is to not have a mask and huge sunglasses on and hair in your face and baggy pants and a huge hoodie on when you l1ft. look and act normal. walk around like you're actually going to buy something. look at different colours, sizes, prices. seem to gravitate towards the rack of clothes on sale.

think about what you're wearing and if it's suitable for what you know you're going to l1ft. if you're going to lift something like makeup (mascara, concealer, lipstick, small powder or liquid products), i suggest a hoodie (not oversized, not skintight) with a tight long-sleeve top underneath. maybe some tighter pants. am i the only one who's terrified of my l1fted stuff falling out of my sleeves? exactly. slide them under the tight sleeve and you're good to go.

don't get greedy. you just concealed 30 dollars worth of merchandise on your body. you don't need that shiny new makeup pallette. you just l1fted from that store 2 days ago. don't try your luck too soon.

be ready to change the way you look. change out of that top if you can. if you got caught, the cameras have captured your whole outfit already. let your hair down. take out your earrings. take off your big ass headphones. take off any recognizable jewellery.

OLD SCHOOL RULES OF CONDUCT

A … IF YOU CANT DO THE TIME - DON’T DO THE CRIME. There are a lot of risk when you shoplift and unfortunately getting caught is the end result of a poorly executed shoplifting attempt. Even if you don’t go to jail, and you probably will not on your 1st offence, you will still end up with a considerable fine. You may be able to have your first charge expunged with some luck, but your actual arrest will remain on your record and may easily be found on any background search. It will be hard to try and explain in your job or college interview why you were stealing. B … KNOW BEFORE YOU GO Always plan ahead of time and know your store. It is a good idea to check out the store before you ever take anything. Look for cameras, security, find where desirable targets are located, locate where all the exits are, and where employees go into back rooms. Locate where the best blind spots are, and when they’re busiest - for most shops this will be Saturdays. Don’t ever assume that a camera dome is empty, always assume that every dome has a camera in it and that it’s watching you. Once you have a good idea of the layout of the store and the layout of the merchandise, leave. Come back another day to do your lifting. Proper planning will help you avoid being at risk for being apprehended. C … BODY LANGUAGE. From the time you enter the parking lot, to the time you leave, you should act as if someone is watching your every move (because they probably are). The biggest mistake a shoplifter can make is to act like a shoplifter. Nervousness, constantly looking around, looking at security cameras and suspicious behave are what the Store Security (Loss Prevention) are looking for. This is what they were trained for and you will make their job much easer. Employees know that if you are acting nervous, then you are usually up to something no good. You want to remain calm and look as normal as possible. Shoplifters get caught because they get sloppy, and don’t pay attention. Keep in mind what you are doing and focus on the task at hand and maintain your appearance, both physical and mental. You should have already done your research and studied the layout of the store beforehand. You want to look like an everyday shopper who has no worries in the world. D … DRESS FOR THE JOB. Loss Prevention are trained to watch everyone, regardless of race or age. If you walk into a store wearing the latest baggie hip hop cloths, a jacket when its warm out, or leave your sunglasses on to hide your eyes, then yes you will be watched. You want to blend in. Notice what the average shopper is wearing and dress like them. Being professional, well dress, groomed, speaking clear understandable English, with a friendly outgoing attitude is the best illusion you could give. The object here is not to draw any attention to yourself. You want Loss Prevention to be watching the other guy. Every store and every area will be different. A “high end” department store will have better dressed shoppers then a discount or home improvement store. No matter what, always wear clean cloths, bath, comb your hair, and have a clean respectable look. E … DO NOT TRUST ANYONE YOU DON’T KNOW. You should never trust another person while you are shoplifting. The majority of Loss Prevention Associates will be dressed in street cloths and will try and blend in with the everyday shoppers. Don’t be fooled by the person who is shopping next to you or is in the dressing room next to you. He might look like a teen age punk, but in reality he is an under cover Loss Prevention Associate watching your every move. Also just because she looks like a sweet old lady doesn’t mean that she wont alert the staff to your wrong doings. Do not stereo type Loss Prevention personnel. They could be either male or female and any age. Some will even work in teams as a couple just to blend in. F … NEVER LOOK AT CAMERAS One of the biggest ways to get caught is to look directly at the cameras. You would be surprised how many nervous amateurs will glance repeatedly, or just boldly stare at the camera dome, giving security a clear view of what you are doing and the perfect chance to capture a picture of your face. Trust me - you cannot see through the domes to tell if it’s pointed at you. They are double-layered to prevent this. Observe cameras from afar, use your peripherals vision, and never tilt your head or eyes up. An upturned face is very easy to see, and will instantly attract attention. G … AVOID ROUTINES Keep track of how often you visit stores and shoplift. Avoid routine. Cashers, stock boys, and even Security will forget about you and your actions for a little while, but if they suspect you of causing merchandises to walk out of the store, they will notice patterns in your routines. Make sure you have a feel of the security, and have an understanding as to how many times it is safe to remove items from any one store in a period of time. The busier the store, the more times you can go into it without raising suspicion. Keep in mind that major retailers have installed computer systems that share records, and CCTV footage between stores specifically to keep tabs on repeat shoplifters. If you were noticed doing something suspicious in one store they may send a picture of you to any of the surrounding stores so that they can keep an eye on you. H … IF IT DON’T FEEL RIGHT - ABORT! Stop what your doing, drop what you have and leave - come back another time. If it don’t look or feel right always go with your instincts, they could be right. It doesn’t matter how insignificant it is, it is better to leave behind your goods and come back another day, then to slip in some way and be apprehended. I … HOME COURT DISADVANTAGE  Never do a lot of your shoplifting at a store you frequently shop at. If you really want something bad enough, then spend a little gas money and go across town. The reason you want to do this is because if, for some reason you slip up and get busted, you will not be able to go back into that store again. You will then have to travel across town to do any legitimate shopping. Imagine your embarrassment if your neighbors just happen to be there as they haul you out of the store in handcuffs. Also the employees will recognize you quicker if they are use to seeing your face. J … NEVER STEAL FROM A MOM & POP STORE. This goes to the belief of sticking it to “The Man”. You will find this written many times throughout the anti-establishment community. Whether it be the government or the large multi national mega store, hurting them is more enjoyable and less personal then the small shop owner down the street who is more then likely already having a hard time making money because of these mega stores. These stores are smaller and have fewer employees who may recognize you as a returning thief. There have been many instances where a shop owner has attacked a shoplifter with a bat or some other instrument of pain because they take the theft more personal. If caught the judicial system will also be a lot harder on individuals who committed personal crimes against small shop owners as appose to large companies and your jail time could be lengthier. K … DO NOT GET GREEDY.  The number one reason shoplifters get caught is because they become greedy. You can shoplift your whole life and never get caught, but it takes a lot of skill and even more importantly, patience. Most people will get away with something and instead of being satisfied with that one time they have to press their luck and try it again and again in the same store. Eventually you develop a pattern that the Loss Prevention or Police can easy discover and then apprehend you. L … GO DOWN WITH RESPECT. You walked out of the store and you hear that dreaded “Security - may I speak with you” behind you. You take off running as fast as you could, but on this day the Loss Prevention just happened to be a marathon sprinter, and he tackles you. At this point realize that they have won and you have lost - deal with it! Fighting back or using a weapon will only guaranty you a long visit to prison. A simple shoplifting charge means just that - simple. Most cases you will be free in a couple of hours. Be as polite and remorseful as you can be under the circumstances. The Loss Prevention person is only doing a job. The more you are a Dick - the bigger Dick they can be. Sure it sucks but just play it out cool & calm and it will work out for the better. M … SILENCE IS GOLDEN. If you are caught, don’t give them any more evidence then they already have. The best evidence they will have against you is your big mouth. NEVER give any more info then you have too. Answer the basic questions. Loss prevention will tell you that if you talk it will be easier on you and you will receive fewer charges - not true. They already have enough evidence against you or you wouldn’t be there. All they want is a confession so they have a stronger case against you. Do not admit to anything, just sit there and remain quiet. You will not gain anything by incriminating yourself or your friends. Remember this is a game of opportunity and luck as much as it is skill. All it takes is one slip too ruin a perfectly good day. Always think, plan, then think again before you do any shoplifting. If you spend a little time doing research, you might not end up doing any time in jail.

*If you don’t have a stamp, reverse your destination and return addresses. The post office will deliver it to the return address for free

*One bag of garbage from a McDonald’s dumpster has hundreds of receipts in it, each of which has a survey. Submit each one for lots of free food

*Holding a cell phone to your ear justifies lοitering. This aids in public urinαtion, dυmpster diving, trespαssing, etc

*If you’re going to plαgiarize, plαgiarize something in a foreign language. Use a translator and spend a few minutes touching up the results.

*If they have free refills, save your cup. Next time you eat there, your drink is free.

*A plastic coffee stir stick can fool any push in coin acceptor that loads the coins on edge. Just insert stir stick, push the mechanism forward until you feel the stick hit a bump, push the bump down with the stick and push the mech all the way in

*If you look like you know what you’re doing, no one will bother you.

*When lγing, always include something slightly embarrassing, or something that makes you look bad, as part of your story. It’s not only going to disarm their skepticism (admitting to something embarrassing gives an impression of humility), but even if they remain skeptical, they’ll be left wondering why you would make something up that you’d rather keep secret if it were true

*Using Clorox or any bleach will turn the red/pink liquid detection dot on electronic devices back to white so they replace them under warranty

* “A drυg deαler in DC taught me to pick my nose if the police are staring at me. No one picks their nose if they think someone is watching them, so it’s the ultimate way of being nonchalant.”

* "I learned that you can get into almost any special event by wearing a chef coat. Even just carrying one and walking like you know where you’re going will work every time. Most people don’t want to look stupid by asking you who you are.“ (I've done this one. I'm actually a chef so it's great.)

* "My go to missing work call was never “I’m sick”, it was “Family problems”. They never questioned it, it’s vague enough and embarrassing enough that nobody ever asks.“ 

*As part of the employee training at Tαrget, they teach you that if a customer argues over a price, and the full price is under $20, to just give it to them for whatever price they claim. It’s cheaper for the company to move on to the next customer than to call in a price check.

*Put a rolled up sock in the change slot on a vending machine, come back back 4 days later….and pull sock….you will be 6-ish dollars richer.

*If it’s a small lie, like who farted or who put the empty milk carton in the fridge, I’ll tell a terrible lie. I’ll not be able to hold a straight face, contradict myself, basically suck at lying. Now everyone I know thinks I can’t tell a lie to save my life, So when I really need a big lie, I nail it every time. No one ever suspects me when I lie straight faced.

*Bring crutches to an airport. Bypass every line (including boarding) and you are chauffeured to your gate the second you pass through security. (idk abt this one)

*Make up a secret to share with someone- they may open up and share far more valuable real secrets.

*Here’s a classic. Drive over to your 7/11 of choice. Fill up a Slurpee and drop some candy bars in that bitch. Make sure the candy bars aren’t showing. Cover the Slurpee and pay for it. Free Snickers bitch.

*I tell everyone i’ve never done any drυgs. Suddenly everyone offers me cοcaine, ecstαsy, pοt, lsd. I think i’ve had $200 worth of drυgs each weekend for free. Same with liquοr. “I'm not drinking tonight” BOOM! Everyone gives me bοοze. Its like everyone wants to break your integrity as soon as you tell them you are not doing whatever they are doing.

*If you need to cash from an ATM and its not a large amount, buy a 5 cent piece of gum from a gas station that has the cash back option. Its cheaper than a $3 charge

*Act less intelligent than you really are. Acting stupid can get you out of some tricky situations. Feigning ignorance is way better than admitting you knew better but did it anyway. My old man used to say ‘It is easier to beg forgiveness than ask for permission’…sometimes it’s true.

*Every time I fly, when I land I’ll pen a little complaint to the airline that flew me. You know, I’ll come up with something like “oh, they denied me a drink! Oh, the food wasn’t vegetarian!” Whatever miscellaneous hogwash potpourri comes to my crazy brain. Like clockwork, within a business day, they’re reimbursing me with a $50 voucher, a $100 voucher, I can sell that on the secondary market.

*I’ve always had a lot of success in shutting nosy people up by blaming any personal issue on allergies. Crying from a panic attack? Allergies giving me puffy eyes. What’s that mysterious pill I’m taking? Allergy meds. Why am I acting spaced out/hungover/tired? Allergies meds making me drowsy.

*If you really wanna get away with some shit, buy a reflective vest, a white hard hat, and a clipboard. You can go ANYWHERE.

[mollifyit]

Molly’s mega super duper store rankings

Here’s my ranking of ALL the stores I’ve ever lifted at. Varies a lot from state to state but I just put all my experiences together for the overall rating.

~~~

Kohl’s: 5/10

I don’t really fw it. I only go there if there’s a Sephora in it. Sometimes the jewelry here is kind of good if you’re looking for something super basic, but take it out of its packaging because here they almost always have a tag.

Costco: 11/10

Never tried and never will. Genuinely seems downright impossible to me.

Burlington: 6/10

The jewelry is easy if they’re not tagged. I actually managed to get 2 pairs of shoes here because I had a big target paper bag with me. Don’t fw the bags duhhh and the clothes are just not worth it. All of the home stuff is way too big and if you’re getting the candy/food here… are you okay????

Dollar tree, five below, etc: 4/10

It’s actually not a free for all like most ppl say. I dont think it’s worth it bc these stores are always so small and I use big store spaces to my advantage. Even if there’s only one other person in the store, you can literally keep your eyes on them the whole time just by knowing generally where they are. So yeah I really do not like it here.

Fred Meyers: 6/10

I will never forget the day that I was trying to shove a pair of pants into my bag, and I heard from the speakers above “security check to section B.” That scared me so mf bad I literally rushed out of the store and went home. I looked it up later and it’s just kind of a thing they use to scare shoplifters off which definitely worked on me lmfao. Best for just small stupid things like candy and toys.

Hobby lobby: 3/10

Surprisingly, really easy for me. There’s literally never any employees but if there are you can lose them super easily in all the aisles. They lowkey have fire stuff and nobody is really ever in there. I loveeeeee this place for jewelry stuff. They lowkey have a better selection than Michael’s and none of it is ever tagged LMAO.

Target: 2/10

I know target likes to think that they’re all big and bad… But I have genuinely never had a problem here. I’ve definitely reached “the limit” if you know what I’m talking about.. and knock on wood but nothing has happened so…. Maybe I just fit the demographic (early 20s white girl) but employees never bat an eye at me.

Walmart: 7/10

Man FUCK Walmart. I hate all the LP here. It’s totally different in my home state but in the more populated states I’ve been to they have LP at every fucking entrance and exit. Really not worth it anymore. I just go anywhere else at this point. Every fucking thing you can think of is locked up. Makeup, baby formula, etc. Pisses me off.

Home Depot/lowes: 1/10

I literally just got some poster hangers and shit. I never ever go here.

CVS/walgreens: 5/10

Again, I hate how small most of the stores are. All the aisles are really low and super close together which I kinda hate too. It’s really not the worst in the world and personally I’ve never ever seen the towers go off for literally anyone but then again I’m like never in here so yeah.

Apple: 10000000/10

Dude you gotta have a DEATH WISH to even attempt this.

Ulta: Guys….. I used to w*rk here. Yeah. I know. I had a whole j*b here for a year. That’s why I have so much makeup. Yeah. The secret it out.

Main takeaway: we’re not allowed to confront you or even hint that we suspect you of lifting anything and we are DEFINITELY not allowed to chase you😭😭 ulta workers are really underpaid actually for everything that they do. Pro tip: isles in mass skin care are usually the tallest ones. If not then all the hair stuff have really tall isles as well. So those are my favorite concealing places. So yeah, literally if you look somebody in the eye and take something right in front of them, all they can do is go over to their manager and the manager will probably tail you the rest of the time you’re in there. At my store, my manager used to “ban”people, but all this means was that she would have pictures of you in her phone (💀) from the security cameras and if you tried to come in again, she would pull up the picture to confirm that it’s you and just kick you out. It wasn’t anything official lol. The store I worked at wasn’t in a mall so idk how it works exactly with mall security and whatever. But standalone stores can’t do jack shit even if they see you. Oh yeah.., our cameras were shit too😭😭😭

So yeah, with everything being said, and because I know how every little thing works 1/10. For me. Obviously do not go for the locked up fragrances or locked up anything. I’m gonna leave you guys with this and all I’m gonna say is that multiple employees not just me were committing internal theft, aka lifting from the store while they worked there LMAO.

Petsmart/petco: 3/10

It’s always empty as shit in here and I don’t think I’ve ever seen any of the stuff tagged before. It’s perfectly normal to just go in and pretend to do research for your pet I guess. Like it’s not abnormal if you’re standing in the same aisle for 10 minutes yknow. As you guys know I continuously got stuff for my fish from these stores. I went back multiple times and either the employees do not give a shit or they never check cams.

Sephora: 6/10

Definitely depends on the location and how big it is, but I try to stay away from here as much as I can and just go to Ulta because obviously I know it a lot better. Things here are generally more spread out because they only have prestige products. I recommend going during the weekend because if a Sephora employee sees you alone in the store, they will try to help you and just generally unconsciously track you because you know. You’re the only other goddamn person in the store. I never feel bad lifting from here bc the employees here are all hoes and they were super racist to my friend at the location in my home town.

Michaels: 3/10

Do not fuck with the jewelry unless you’re pretty experienced because the jewelry is always going to be pretty close to the cash wrap plus they all have fucking tags on them (usually rfids). Everything else is pretty fair game though. Some aisles will have those stupid little TV monitors so just stay away from concealing in those aisles obviously. I feel like Michael’s is probably gonna die out soon because I genuinely have never seen more than two employees working there at a time.

Bath and body Works: 7/10

It’s just really annoying because of how big all of their shit is. I love their body washes. That’s probably my favorite thing to lift because they’re not too awkward or bulky yknow. I really only lift here just to stock up. I don’t recommend it actually bc the layout provides you with no blindspots and employees are always keeping an eye on you to see if you need help.

Lush: 8/10

Yo. This is unexpectedly hard as shit. The layout of all lushes is super super open because they have most of their stuff on the walls. And of course employees are super nice and attentive but yknow if you’re lifting that’s not so good. All of their stuff is just kind of bulky and awkward for me. Plus it’s pretty obvious when something is missing from the shelf because instead of constantly restocking they’re actually focused on helping people.

Sprouts: 8/10

I’ve only been here for one singular thing, and that was teeth whitening stuff on a whim, but everyone here is scary. It’s all like grandmas and scary ladies. I don’t like it.

Lululemon: 6/10 *for me*

I would say that I’m pretty advanced in lifting at Lululemon. I think I have probably over 3K worth of lifted stuff from them. It’s super super daunting at first so for newbies I would rate it a 10 out of 10, but since I’ve been there a lot and kind of know how it’s run,, I’ve definitely gotten more used to it. Go on a busy day, get a dressing room and then just exit when the dressing room attendant is busy with something else because that is the easiest I’ve ever had it. The girls here are either the sweetest in the world or total bitches and hoes. I never talk to anybody here beyond a few words because it can leave an impression which is bad in our case lol.

Aerie: 7/10

I’ve only ever lifted the underwear from here, but it’s really annoying because the layout is not good at all for lifting. Best underwear in the world though in my opinion. Literally everything else is tagged.

Victoria’s Secret/pink: 9/10

Same thing as aerie only ever lifted the underwear. I literally will not fuck with anything else because everything has tags and now basically all the stores have those stupid computers that know exactly what you bring into the dressing room.

Hot topic: 7/10

Not horrible, but definitely not my favorite obviously if you’re gonna lift anything lift the jewelry because that shit is getting taken 24/7 365.

Box lunch: 9/10

Again another store that’s so unexpectedly hard for no reason other than everything LITERALLY every fucking thing has tags on it.

Okayyy thats it!! I definitely missed a few, but these are pretty much all the chain stores that I have or am frequently lifting from.

[brynnlyfts]

for new lyft3rs or anyone who doesn't know - both cv$$ and w4llgr33en$ have EXTREMELY lenient lyft1ng policies: cv$$ and w4llgr33en$ employees are not allowed to confront lyft3rs, d3t41n them, or apprehend them. they aren't even allowed to follow you outside or take a picture of your license plate. the most they can do is offer ECC (exceptional cust0m3r c4re) such as phrases like "are you finding everything okay?" to try to deter you from lyft1ng or follow you around the store. they CAN (but rarely do) file p0l1ce reports and have enforcement trespass you after the lyft, but the employees themselves can't do shit and frankly aren't paid enough to care. often times the p0l1ce don't even arrive in time to take action. at w4llgr33en$ specifically, i know that employees will be immediately fired if they do so much as exit the door when pursuing a sh0plyft3r. running out is a viable option in both stores, but works even better at w4llgr33en$. items of interest: makeup (eyelash curlers are usually t4gged for some reason, check anything over $25 to be safe), electronics (90% of the time are taagged and somewhat hard to remove, see tip 3 for advice), feminine products (not tagged), food (not tagged), assorted medicine (depends), medical devices (depends), and supplements (not tagged) tips: - don't leave packaging behind, they'll sus you out and it just makes everyone's lives harder. - get in, get out. don't spend time wandering. - if something you REALLY want has a hard to remove al4rm t4g on it, i wouldn't bother spending too much time prying it off. they most likely already know you're lyft1ng, and chances are that the t4g is fake. if the al4rm happens to go off and caught an employee's attention, keep walking and leave the parking lot IMMEDIATELY. - just because these stores are easy doesn't mean that you should be stupid and openly c0nc34l in front of an employee or camera. as i said, if you visit the same place more than once, they can take note of you and get you trespa$$ed. practice safe lyft1ng anywhere you go!! hope this helps!! <3

[robber-baron-anonymous]

PSA that addiction to shopping and sh0pl1fting is real and not very avoidable, especially with sh0pl1fting. I know it gives you a rush everytime you get new stuff - that’s normal, me too, but PLEASE practice self restraint.

Do you need it? Would you pay for it? Is it worth going to jail for?

The answer to all of those for most of the things i consider l1fting is no. It’s not worth it. It’s fun, sure, but eventually you will get caught (everyone does) and most of the time it’s because you wanted that dopamine hit and got sloppy.

[imightbelane-deactivated2025122]

Stores are getting WAY too technical 😞

[pocketrocketliftoff]

it's just means there's a lil RFID tag hidden in the price or garment tag. if u make a little tear on it it'll stop working.

borrowing tips 101 💋

6 life saving borrowing tips so that you are guaranteed to get what you want everytime without getting caught! 🫧

1. ALWAYS go with someone - if you go on your own you automatically draw more attention to yourself and having another person there can be more comforting+you can help eachother (remember only do this if you know for sure the person if comfortable with it NEVER borrow when your with someone without consent because they could get into trouble along with you)

2. Stay calm - speaking from experience, if you are constantly looking at security guards and acting suspicious you WILL get caught. It’s all about mindset walk out as you usually would but don’t be too obvious.

3. For beginners - if you are a beginner start off stealing small things for example, candy, cheap lipglosses, charms etc. Trust me it will build more skill and if you get caught the worst they would do is kick you out.

4. Go when it’s busy but not too busy! - when it’s busy there are barely any workers and so many people it’s hard for them to keep up. If somebody who isn’t a worker sees you it’s an 80% chance they won’t snitch, most likely if they are 10-20 ish years old they won’t but older people tend to snitch more often so be careful!

5. Check tags - if the store you are going into has no sensors most likely the security tags won’t matter at all with barcodes you can leave almost any store because they don’t go off but with some items they hide the tag inside of the box so be careful and check before lifting!

6. The most important step, don’t overthink it - when lifting just see what you like and take it, if you like you can check over everything after but do not linger or you will get caught! If you decide you don’t want something anymore still leave with it taking and putting it back is very risky and could get you into trouble just have an “I see it, I like it, I want it , I got it “ mindset.

rules for borrowers

• never borrow from small businesses large chains only!

•do not peer pressure anyone into borrowing

•keep it moderate don’t steal every time you shop

• and the most important of all have fun! xoxo 💋

extras

what to wear:

jeans with leggings underneath (so things won’t fall out or shove small things in your waistband

bring a bag (not a huge tote bag it’s obvious more like a tote bag or if your in a mall/ shopping area bring a bag from another store (buy something small) to make it look like your just going on a spree

(for female lifters) I recommend push up bras with a crop/low neck top so that it’s easier to shove things in (and the store can’t legally search you if you get caught)

hoodies but it can be kinda obvious

stores to go to:

I recommend going to mini stores from a large chain because half of the time they have a scrawny security guard with 1 to 2 workers there and they won’t be able to stop you

uk stores:

boots

superdrug

primark especially

sephora

urban outfitters

tkmaxx

brandy melville

(i live in london so if you’re in the uk and don’t have these stores sorry)

us stores:

sephora

ulta

walmart

target

brandy melville

tjmaxx

urban outfitters

hollister

Lyfting tips as someone who went from a godawful lyfter to someone who is careful, cautious & obviously never gets caught

DISCLAIMER!! I do not actually sh0pl1ft- this is a role play account. I pretend to sh0pl1ft online because I would never do so in real life!! NOTHING I SAY REGARDING TIPS/SH0PL1FTING ARE TRUE AND ARE ALL MADE UP

Now obviously this conversation circulates

lyfting Tumblr a shit tonne but I want to

share my own experiences as to help baby

lifters & maybe give new insight to

experienced lyfters

I want to begin by sharing a story that keeps me up at night because it’s THAT embarrassing. I had a thought a year or so ago back that I wanted to begin lyfting all because I saw a girl on twitter who was a lyfting god (I now know that she was actually awful at lifting I’ll expand on this more later). I had went to a coffee shop and a gas station (on one side was the coffee shop and the other was the gas station they’re in the same building and there’s no doorway in between the two) after me and my brother had finished our coffee he decided he wanted to get something at the gas station. Whilst he was checking out with the only cashier on duty I was eyeing the protein bars thinking “now is my chance!! I HAVE to do this.. it’s now or never” by the time I had it set in my mind I was going to Lyft this protein bar- my brother was already done checking out and was waiting for me at the door. The cashier was not distracted by any other customers as it was only me and my brother in the store at the time. I knelt down by the protein bars and my brother asked “what are you doing?” And I replied in an overly loud voice “just looking at protein bars!!” I then decided on one and tried to tuck it in my sleeve with one hand. That didn’t work and it didn’t quite fit in my sleeve because I was so nervous- feeling rushed- and overall super shaky. Mind you my brother is standing about 5 feet away at the door looking at me crouching spending WAY too much time ‘looking at the protein bars’. Finally I managed to get the fucking protein bar up my sleeve and I loudly said “okay I’m ready to go!!”. After my brother and I had left the store he said “why did you steal that?” And then to my horror he says “you know the cashier was walking over to you and was practically almost looking right down at you. I cringed so hard at the thought of that actually playing out.

Now a lot of you may be thinking “oh she’s fucking dumb” and well… yes. But just as a little challenge I want you all to read through that story again and identify every red flag, everything I did wrong, & everything I failed to do that could’ve caused me to get caught in the act (there are 9!)

Ready?

1) I went into a store where two sets of employees from two separate corporations could see me borrowing

2) I got coffee from the shop- meaning they have my card details. If they were interested in prosecuting- they now have all my information

3) it was NOT a planned lift. The only ‘planning’ was done once i was in the store. This means I did not have a backup plan- I did not know how employees treat potential borrowing- and I did not wear an appropriate shirt to conceal

4) I did not scope out the store for cameras at all. In fact once I went to that store again I realized there was a big dome camera that was RIGHT above me 😭 the cashier more than likely had the camera footage displayed on her computer

5) I brought someone who was both A) unknowing (well kind of.. I was so fucking obvious even he knew what was going on) and B) someone who is completely inexperienced in lyfting. As soon as he had asked what I was doing I should have left it alone and exited the store with him

6) my responses to my brother. Any regular shopper would not need to shout/talk loudly explaining themselves “Oh!! I’m just looking at [insert weirdly specific item] definitely not doing anything awful or criminal like lyfting!!” Rather they would take an extremely casual approach speaking at a normal level “I’m just looking to see if they have what I wanted up here but I don’t think they do” [cue exit]. Being hyperspecific and sounding nervous will get you caught. No normal person talks like that- I recommend observing normal shoppers if you go out planning to lyft and attempting to copy their casual behaviours.

7) the amount of time I spent looking??? Like nobody is going to be looking at fucking protein bars like they are trying to find the Willy Wonka golden ticket 😭 if you are lyfting you have to be quick and precise - at any second you could be caught

8) I was completely unaware of my surroundings. I had no idea where the cashier was until I actually left the store. I’m not saying look around you frantically at all times Tryint to make sure you’re alone- that’ll get you sussed especially if people are watching cams. Take notice of where everyone is- especially employees and conceal quickly

9) nervous demeanour. I was so shaky and anxiety ridden it looked like I was about to go skydiving. Typically customers who come to shop at stores don’t get a panic attack from looking at store products- I’m actually laughing to myself at how ridiculous I must have looked LOL. Appear calm and collected and nobody will suspect anything.

Did you catch every red flag? If not- and I mean this in such a kind way- reevaluate your lyfting techniques. Lyfting is a crime and no matter how old you are if the court decides to trial you as an adult you’re fucked.

Briefly I want to circle back to the beginning of my twitter friend who both encouraged me to lift- & lifted MASSIVE hauls. Here’s a tip for everyone here that may be semi unpopular- there is nothing more stupid than a sh0pl1fter who Lyfts more than 999 dollars in one shopping trip. I don’t care about your states felony limit at all. Let me bring a new train of thought to everyone’s minds sh0pl1fting is 50% luck 50% skill you could be the most talented lyfter in the world but guess what? There’s definitely someone who’s better at their job than you are at lyfting at all times. If you find a blind spot- what if there’s a hidden camera? If you body conceal- what if police get involved and you get extra charges just for that? What if an employee catches you? What if there’s plainclothes LP? What if there’s LP in general? What if AI software technology recognizes your face as a lyfter from shared company data- leading you to immediately be sussed? What if there was a hidden tag in something you just lyfted? What if there are cops outside the store and an employee decides to alert them? What if employees/ LP are watching you through a blind spot in the store? What if you’re in the process of having a case built against you? I could keep going, however the sad truth is, no matter how good you are at lyfting- if you continually get away successfully- luck played a huge role in that. That is why it’s important to reduce the amount of times where something could go badly meaning reduce the amount of things you decide to lyft in a store. Is a criminal record really worth that viral Tumblr/twitter post? Probably not. I HUGELY recommend visiting multiple stores as opposed to lyfting all in one store

Okay enough yapping from me hehe let’s get into some more general tips :)

- do not go in groups of teens you will immediately be sussed esp if ur around 14-16 years old

- do not wear backpacks like at all! i see many encouraging backpacks at b&n and 1ndig0 and as someone who worked in both of those places- you will be watched. even if you dont realize it.

- totes are a nono bring a bigger purse if you must

- never assume cameras aren’t monitored. Stores are constantly hiring/ changing policies etc to prevent shrink. Use your eyes to scout for cameras do not look up and avoid being in sight of the cameras as best as possible

- coffee= trustworthy?? idk what this phenomenon is- but if you are carrying coffee from starbs or something (dont shop at starbs free Palestine) especially if the cup is see through you will lit not be sussed (as long as ur acting normally)

- if it’s in a box- either open the box and dump the product in your purse / body conceal or don’t lyft it. You’d be surprised how many stores are deciding to tag insides of boxes

- if you beep at the towers do NOT turn around or wait for the opportunity to be caught keep walking and walk right out of the establishment especially if you’re at the mall!!! Leave immediately

- malls are a lot scarier than people think- trust me AI recognition softwares are horrifying if you lyft at malls there’s a 99% chance you’ve already been caught by them lyft with extreme caution and don’t do big Lyfts

- stay away from Sephora they have some of the most aggressive LP I have ever seen in my entire life and will almost always prosecute

- if you plan on walking out with a tag on the item without a care in the world if you’ll beep or not Lp has these fuckass new hard tags that beep themselves. If you trigger the alarm towers the tag will start ‘screaming’ and will not stop no matter what you do- I advise against walkouts like that

- if you notice employees coming up to you way too often and won’t shut up about promos in store or wtv they are onto you do not risk it dump ur shit n leave

- dress to impress. You guys have no idea how good a pair of lulu leggings or the lulu define jacket can do for you- seriously make that investment

- go alone. Nobody knows how to do it better than yourself and if that’s not the case you shouldn’t be lyfting at all if you’re in a group you’ll be sussed so much easier unless you both look extremely well groomed and dressed

- on every tag that displays the brand for example the cardboard tags that lulu leggings have on them displaying the brand- rip it in half. Otherwise it’ll set off the alarm. Well rounded lyfters always find this out the hard way lol It’s a rite of passage

- majority of the time you literally don’t need magnets. Not only is this a sure way to catch a felony I genuinely think it’s useless. There’s always at least one pair of clothes that are not tagged in a well stocked store Idc if that’s not the exact shirt you want don’t get greedy

- branching off of that- try to only lyft in well stocked stores.

Otherwise employees will quickly realize when something has gone missing

-lyft the clothes hangers I’ll never understand why people will Lyft a shirt and not take the hanger? Unless it’s hard tagged it won’t beep slip it in your purse and save money on hangers lol & employees won’t notice empty hangers

- if you go to a changing room and they count your items you have 2 options- do not Lyft any of them orrrr assess the clothes in the changing room pick out only 1-2 you want to Lyft and ensure there are no magnets and rip the tags in half. Slip the hangers in your purse and as you are exiting say “I’m going to be getting these two I left the other 3 hung up in the changing room” the employee will literally not care. Then you find a blind spot and conceal the items. This is tricky and can only be done if employees are distracted and the store is big enough so that the changing room employee cannot see the cash register.

- the more you engage with employees the longer they have to remember what you look like. Be polite and short do not ask for assistance if they offer you a bag don’t freak out. I work retail and we only hand out bags to build customer basket sizes

- if you are not quick with concealing an item don’t even try and just leave ☠️ you should know this by now from my story earlier

- lp collects data on most high shrink items to dictate if those items should be secretly tagged or not- again I work retail and we began hiding tags inside products where nobody except us would have any idea that they’re there. If you like a specific skincare brand don’t lyft a shit tonne in one go from w4lm4rt everytime you go. Instead lift a minimal amount and then go to a non affiliated shop that sells the same product

- don’t build routine of lyfting

At the same store every Monday (idk lmfao, Monday is just an example) they’ll begin to remember you and it won’t be fun when you go in to lyft and

There’s cops waiting with a free UberX cop edition to your nearest prison

- prioritize lyfting essentials as opposed to ‘desirables’ this should be pretty self explanatory and if ur caught in the act (by cops!! only do not fucking talk to LP do not go with them where they tell you to. Run out Get an Uber if you have to and do not return to that store) you can just say “I’m broke and I’m trying to support myself” yada yada yada

Okay that’s all for nowww I’m sleepy but I’ll be making similar threads soon :3

Btw if you guys liked the red flag thingy please lmk bc it was genuinely sm fun to write and I have so many more horrible stories that I can share.. like a scavenger hunt except it’s my own dumbassery

❤️

Yes!!! Go queen!!

Errrmm.. at least you tried

⚠️BE CAREFUL WHEN CARRYING MAGNETS (in close proximity of phones)⚠️

neodymium magents are VERY strong, this is how they disable security tags, but being so strong they can easily wipe, delete and destroy any electronic device it comes in contact with. if your magnet were to clash with your phone in your bag, theres a change its just gonna become a very expensive brick in your pocket!!!! PLEASE PLEASE be careful guys and make sure your magnet is not in close proximity with your phone/laptop ETC💗⚠️

reblog this in the community to spread awareness bcs this happpened to my lifting friend and she didnt stop sobbing and i wouldnt want that onn all u cuties💗💗

[b0rrow-k1ng]

my #1 tip if you’re c0nceaIing in a dressing room or bathroom is TAKE YOUR ASS OUT. i’ve been walked in on one or twice while shoving shit in my pockets and what saved me was having my full moon facing the door. nobody will stick around to question you when your booty cheeks r in their face
