uk + 🧬 🏋️ rp + inactive as of '23 as i'm no longer a minor & can't risk a criminal record

[heejinswallet]

idk if anyone's still active here but $H3|N damage claims are def dead

i literally received a LIVE BUG in my package and this is how the complaint went:

me: there was a live bug in my package. here are pictures from multiple angles of the bug chilling on her $H3G|_4M makeup

cs: sorry (: do you want to return the makeup and we'll refund you

me: no???? i already threw it away because it's contaminated makeup and also im scared it'll lay bug eggs?????

cs: ok well we can't refund if you don't return it (:

so even if the item is actually damaged or a biohazard they don't gaf 😭😭😭

idk how well known this is, but a really handy thing for on body concealing & even purse concealing is to unpackage anything you lift after you leave the store & then re-conceal the unwrapped item. if you’re god forbid caught and your bag is searched, it’s much easier to pass off unpackaged goods as things youve always had in your purse. if you’re concealing on body, packaging can be bulky & stick out & just be generally uncomfortable, so its a good idea to get rid of it.

ok besties i saw a post that made me remember this and i said eeeek because this is something that i haven't seen anyone mention and it's kinda counterintuitive.

disney world has A TON of lp agents. they're plainclothes and walk around the shops all day and watch people to catch them lifting. they always have job postings up for it and they hire a lot of ppl and they're always working. ive seen on forums for lp that they recover thousands of dollars worth of merch A DAY. and disney always has police on site so you basically get escorted off the premises of the shop and then the police handle you. not exactly the happiest thing in the world yk.

also, lifting at amusement parks in general is not a v good idea. they have all your info from buying tickets to get in, they usually have at least one police officer if not their own security force, a lot of the big ones have loss prevention even if you wouldn't expect it, and it's hard to make a fast getaway considering how spread out the parks are and how long it takes to get back to your car after. also if you lift and stay in the park and they notice, they'll be able to track you down and catch you, and if you're with family/other ppl it'll be sus af and so embarrassing😭

anyway moral of the story is don't Steal from The Mouse. he is always watching !

stay safe out there esp if ur gonna be at disney for a school/sports/cheer competition bc getting arrested in front of all ur teammates for stealing pins and cotton candy is not slay.

im job hunting rn and there's so many retail positions i'm scared to apply for because this could be me

[liftneyspears-deactivated202412]

i’m sure this is already known but FYI regular customers on the sephœørâ subréddit constantly complain about their CS and say that their legit problems get denied if they’ve gotten a refund or reshipment for their packages before so don’t do damage, PEB, or dna esp if its with ur legit account. u never know if u could run into a real problem and lose money and nothing can be done

[c4ntc4tchm3]

for ppl with glasses, i just 🧬 eyebúydîrect! they’re a company that has a wide range of lenses available, and lets you put in your prescription. i ordered 5 pairs so i could use some as disguises for lifting. choose the “insured package” option (it’s a couple extra dollars), and you just file a claim with route (their insurer) after you get your order!

i love when methods that sound ridiculous on here actually work super well in real life.

the armpit method sounded so unbelievably weird to me but it actually works so well for medium things you can’t easily slip into your pocket or sleeve 😭

[theonlyethicalconsumption]

True story;

This is how I got into lifting. I don't use a bag ever, just a wallet. I got kids so I'm often juggling their things, my phone, my keys, my purchases. It's ridiculous.

Eventually I walked out of a store with something in my hand with my phone or in my armpit on accident so many times I thought... Why aren't I getting things that are actually expensive?

Tools, medication, make up, food. I just check out with something cheap and I've literally never had the cashier notice. I've also had people check my receipt at the door with an item under my arm and they don't even look.

I'm amazed at how much people don't see that goes on right in front of them.

Can you still be Detected with a Mask on; facial recognition cameras?

“For the most part, yes, one can be identified by facial recognition even when wearing a mask. This is because masks tend to leave the eyes, which are a crucial data point that these system use to identify an individual, open. However, the main areas that a facial recognition system scans are the eyes, mouth, and nose. By simply wearing a mask or hat, some of these crucial facial points are still exposed, which means that a system can still identify an individual.” “After mapping an individual's face, this technology then compares this information with a database of known faces to find a match. Some databases can contain hundreds of millions of photos or more.”

GUYS PLEASE BE CAREFUL!!!! Especially with stores that have really good facial recognition cameras like 🎯,wałłmárt,wáłgrèèñß,the Tjmáx franchise (hômègôôdś,Márśhálłś,wîññérś). I saw a comment on tiktok saying their store found a girl in a crime ring steałîñg and they still found her even though she was wearing a mask. They found her via Facebook. They might just be waiting for you to get to a felony level, until then your image is probably sitting in a database.

[justalawabidingcitizen]

If you have and Iphone and can open it using just the top half of your face, assume that facial recognition software can as well (and probably even better).

I’m guessing in the coming years, more people will be upset about their image being in a database somewhere. With the amount of constant surveillance and lack of privacy its not only criminals that have to worry about this sort of stuff. Stay safe guys!!

[deviousbubbles]

Just in the last week I’ve seen numerous people talk about getting caught from self checkout. Grocery stores (major ones mainly like Wally märt and 🎯) are cracking down, especially with skip scanning. One person said a family member of theirs was arrested for genuinely forgetting to scan one can of something at Wally märt. I’ve been seeing this more and more, so please everyone be careful with self checkout and especially with these big chain stores.

If you have anything to add/share, please do! Knowledge is power.

[heejinswallet]

same goes for the UK, whenever i check my local 'have you seen this person?' pages there's a lot of self-checkout snapshots especially from A$𝓭𝓪 - always wear a disguise or face covering for self checkout

[meowlyft]

oh lord my 2 friends just got caught at sephora

[meowlyft]

update

it was my 2 usual l!fting partners and another friend of ours. a sephora security guard followed them to like 3 other stores after and THEN stopped them and went through their things. theyre all being charged with felonies and theyre banned from that mall for a year and sephora for 3 years. im not giving all details since its not my situation and its kinda personal but yeahhhh.

DISGUISES FOR BEGINNERS

hi guys i havent been able to l!ft much lately because of school and i was bored so i made these pictures to help new people learn about disguises.

why wear disguises?

well, if you want to l!ft often, and for a long time, without being caught, then disguises are kind of necessary. eventually after some months the workers will recognize you, and build a case against you. disguises prevent this, disguises are very important!

i know disguises can be expensive, i recommend to 🧬 your disguises from àmâzôn so you arent spending much money. also, your purses / clothing does NOT have to be name brand to look nice! most rich people don’t wear name brand stuff anyways.

THE FOUR MAIN WAYS WORKERS RECOGNIZE YOU :

- your hair

- your purse

- any tattoos

- your style (if you have unique style)

seriously, changing your purse and putting on a wig can completely change a person! (from LP / employees perspective)

informational photos i made!!

the last photo is my personal preference for my disguise style, but not really necessary. you can also wear business casual clothing for the same effect. i kind of just made this for fun :)

remember, just because you are wearing a disguise doesn’t mean you still cant be caught, stay careful and safe! good luck

Etsy has killer fake tattoos

[hyunjinlift]

your little reminder of how important it is to check your likes and follows regularly.

because i just noticed someone followed me yesterday with their likes and follows on and from just looking at them for a brief moment, this person also follows so many other active lìfťing blogs.

these are just 2 screenshots. there are many more people who are followed by this person.

i can not stress how important it is to be diligent with BLOCKING THESE PEOPLE. if you're feeling nice, you can send them a message telling them to turn off their likes and follows.

but at the end of the day

THIS PERSON HAS ESSENTIALLY CREATED A PUBLIC DATABASE OF EVERY ACTIVE ĹIFTIÑG BLOG.

and i want you guys to understand that i am not exaggerating when i say that. tumblr is an incredibly public space for us to be posting what we are. its only a good platform for us to stay on so long as we are staying anonymous, keeping our community to ourselves, and excluding those who dont know what the hell theyre doing.

its double the issue when i see so many newer blogs putting weirdly specific identifying information in their bios/posts as a way to differentiate themselves from others. if you choose to do that and ALSO choose to not block people like this, you are no longer JUST in danger of having your blog mass reported/deleted. you are now in danger of being doxxed by creeps online who want to see you harmed (financially, legally, emotionally, even physically sometimes) for posting your silly little hauls.

just understand that while having your blog and interacting with the community can be fun, that fun can end very quickly if you dont follow a strict set of rules. this is not a game.
