Get to know your local crime reporting pages. Lots of local police jurisdictions post a list of daily crimes, also known as a police blotter. Note the places they pick up Shoplifters. One local Walmart is insanely thirsty and will nab anyone who takes a candy bar. Stay clear of those places. Note the places who constantly call the police and keep that in your head as places to avoid. Itâs not worth it with all the stores that are available. As always. Follow the code. Never steal from a person, never steal from a small business.
PLS REBLOG IF ACTIVE APRIL 2020 (l*fting blogs only) âĄ
itâs a tricky time atm for everyone as weâre all in lockdown & staying indoors but i still love interacting with everyone, planning for what weâll do when we get out of this and sharing tips.
First Week As LP
The things Iâve learned. Too fucking extensive guys. LP is a whole new WORLD.
Let me share with you some of the more lesser known things since taking this job.
1.) Companies ARE aware of the lifting side of the internet, they DO read our posts for clues.
2.) Lifters are usually on their game when they think they can identify LP. Those posts about like âyou know itâs LP when ______such and such happens_____â theyâre DEADON
3.) Know at Târget, cameras are always watched by one or two people and they communicate with at least one or two plainclothes by texting.
4.) SO, if you notice someone near you twice in a store and they are texting and not really shoppingâŚ.BIG CLUE.
5.) LP make bets on how many lifters they can catch. It is a boring job, we mostly watch the cameras and find honest people.
6.) Catching a lifter gives us an adrenaline rush. Itâs a cat and mouse game. Making yourself obvious only fuels us to hunt down others.
7.) Acting SUS will get our attention immediately. Distraction may work to divert our attention.
8.) BIGGEST RED FLAGS:
â> Drag queens, transvestites, people who seem like they are in wonky clothes or dressed beyond their gender. If you look weird, we will watch you whether or not we think youâre lifting. Itâs simple human curiosity and entertainment.
â> Minorities. Especially minorities in large groups.
â> Large groups of pre teen girls
â> Anyone with a big bag
â> People with baby bags and strollers
â> People who wear beanies, hoods, hats, or other accessories making their face hard to see.
â> People who avoid sale sections
9.) Internal theft is investigated a lot more than shoplifters sometimes.
10.) Itâs a lot harder for us to see you conceal when youâre walking in a straight line and using your hands discreetly. Walking will make us have to zoom and adjust to your movements, itâs a pain in the ass.
11.) We have to follow protocol to make a lawful stop. If we donât see you conceal, but pick up on the other 3 warning signs, we canât do shit.
How to stalk your local LP!
Call the store. Ask to speak to the loss prevention department.
Me: âHi. Iâm looking for a job in loss prevention and am wondering if youâre hiring now.â
Them: âYes we are!â (Great time to lift. Theyâre hiring. Which means they need people and if they still have LP they are just putting in their 2 weeks so they can get the hell outta there.) If they arenât hiring, ask if you can still submit an application.
Me: âThanks! Who can I ask for when I come in and apply?â
Them: âAsk for Johnny B Good. Heâs our LP manager.â
Me: âThank You!â Hangs up phone. Goes on Facebook and looks up Johnny B Good. Finds him. Cute photo of him and his wife. Awe look. They have a new baby. Sweet. So heâs gained some weight since 2010. Wow. Oh look at his 200 friends. Letâs check them out. LP are close with not only their own LP but other stores as well.
So now I know that Johnny B Good is the LP manager at my favorite store. I also know what he looks like and can watch out for him when Iâm in the store. Bonus. If heâs the Manager, heâll usually be in plain clothes bossing the other LP around so you can find out who they are as well!
This saved me from getting caught one day. I was on the lookout for Johnny B Good and there was no sign of him anywhere. I continued gathering all the stuff I wanted to lift plus the stuff I didnât. I was about to exit and I got this weird gut feeling. Not now. I strolled around the store some more. I noticed this guy in a green t-shirt who walked passed me twice and it looked like he knew the store employees. It freaked me out that I was being followed and I started dumping sh-t fast!!! I decided maybe I should buy a few things and take a few things. As Iâm turning the corner, I look back at green t-shirt and heâs chatting with guess who!? Johnny B Good!!! There he is!! Omg!! So I lift nothing, buy a few items and leave!! I go home and look at his fb again. Thereâs green t shirt on his friends list!
They stalk you. Why not stalk them? Could save your life one day!!! Does Johnny B Good think Iâm a lifter? Maybe. Or maybe just an airhead who couldnât make up her mind. Who knows. I stayed clear of that place for 6 months!! When I went back I saw him again. He had no clue who I was. I knew who he was though. And thatâs all that matters!
When calling another store they not only told me they were hiring but couldnât connect me to the LP manager because they literally had NO LP at the time and were desperately searching! Yipppeeeeeeeee!!!! I went there 5 days in a row! Lol. Great Hauls.
Information is power. Acquire it, use it!
Johnny B Good = Fake Name. As if I even needed this disclaimer. Lol
This is the best thing ever
I just did this with Sephora lmaoo
Reblogging because i hate LP
Reblogging because I saw this in my feed and forgot I wrote it! Lol.
Los Angeles Lifting
Where to lift in L.A.
Where to avoid lifting?
hey everyone!
I work at a B&Ĺ and tonight I saw this in receiving! This basically explains the standards for placing RFID tags in books. As you can see, itâs only certain books that will be tagged, but itâs always good to check!
Also, be aware of the 20% off, 30% off stickers on the front of the books. In my location, these are almost always RFID stickers so remove everything you see! It wonât hurt to take off anything that could possibly make you beep at the door.
Thank you for reading! *mwah*

A lifting joke for the 2016 election!
Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump go into a bakery. As soon as they enter the bakery, Hillary steals three pastries and puts them in her pocket. She says to Donald, "See how clever I am? The owner didn't see anything and I don't even need to lie.â I will definitely win the election. The Donald says to Hillary, "That's the typical dishonesty you have displayed throughout your entire life, trickery and deceit. I am going to show you an honest way to get the same result." Donald goes to the owner of the bakery and says, "Give me a pastry and I will show you a magic trick." Intrigued, the owner accepts and gives him a pastry. Trump swallows it and asks for another one. The owner gives him another one. Then Donald asks for a third pastry and eats that, too. The owner is starting to wonder where the magic trick is and asks, "What did you do with the pastries?" Trump replies, "Look in Hillary's pocket".

I actually went there yesterday and could only get two things!!! That place is hard to lift from. Go when it's super crowded. That's the only way.
Ice Cream Haul!! This is why I need to lift clothes. Cuz I need bigger clothes. Cuz of the ice cream hauls! Vicious cycle yo!!
đ˘ PROOF THAT TARGET IS PUTTING RFID TAGS IN CLOTHING đ˘
when i started lifting just a year ago, i didnât even check for rfids at target. donât do that! i know it has a reputation for being easy, so i feel this is something people may overlook.
i saw a post a couple weeks ago that target is putting rfids on clothing now. i went there for the first time on months today, so i checked. yep, thereâs rfids on the clothingâeven on panties!
the first picture is what the sticker looks like on the product. you can sort of see the telltale metallic circuitry in it. the second picture is a sticker i pulled off next to the tag it was stuck onâsee, literally a pair of $5 target panties lmao. the last picture is what the rfid looks like when removed.
i know we all know to search for these tags, but it was still surprising to me that target of all places is using them. more stores are stepping up their game. check EVERY clothing item you steal thoroughly, regardless of where youâre stealing it from.
reblog to save a life!
if you think youâre being watched when youâre lifting, youâre being watched. drop the shit. concealment doesnt make you guilty. swallow your god damned pride
pLEASE itâs always better to sit at home and wish youâd lifted than to sit in jail and wish you hadnât.
Great advice!! So many times I've done this and felt awful afterwards. Like I should go back in and get my stuff and that I was just paranoid. Remember. There's always another lifting day.
Thought you were 14 how come you're driving a car?
I can't drive. Big sister drove me!! Haha
look at all these nice bags i got for lifting guys ahh!! i really recommend doing this, just go to stores and ask for bags for a school project iâm so excited lol
Genius!
So I have been keeping a big secret from you guys...
Iâm a former Apple employee.
Not in the store, in higher support departments but I had access to the back of several stores and thought I would give you an idea of what itâs like for LP.
First off not all stores are the same.
Apple has three levels of stores, and additionally more certified retailers then big box stores.
First level is the highest volume, popular stores. Some of these are fashion place, the San Diego, LA, Portland, Seattle, Dallas, Austin, Salt Lake, Denver, Minneapolis/St. Paul, Orlando, New York city and surrounding area, and another Rhode Island store. These have three active LP at all times with monitored cameras in the back at all times. Cameras are hidden in the ceiling. Just donât lift here. Itâs a bad idea.
Second level stores are less popular large city stores like some of the ones in the southeast. You can measure the kind of traffic a store gets by trying to make an appointment at the genius bar online through the support website www.apple.com/support. If there are a lot of openings it is likely your big city store has a mid range set of LP and security. Cameras may be in the ceiling if the store is less than five years old.
The third level of stores is in smaller cities, with a moderate amount of foot traffic. These are your best bet because cameras arenât always monitored if at all. If you see a security officer sit in front of the store ever youâre probably going to be fine. Lift here.
Apple authorized service providers are the goldmine babes. These assholes kind of deserve it, but are all small businesses. Use your best judgment here, check towers etc but just so you know none of apples stuff is source tagged.
Again, I hate reading caught stories but maybe this will help you guys.
Xoxo
Nice. Thank you for this!
