RFID in an American Apparel tag. I’ve edited my American Apparel tips to remind you to remove these tags.
I have a stolen AA shirt right here with the same rfid tag still attached to it but the alarms deff did not go off when I walked out. And they had towers. Prob just a nonworking type of ‘security’ they use to scare ppl?? Better safe than sorry tho so remove those things regardless!
Concealing tip!!
Id thought id share the way I conceal makeup and small items!!
I usualy lift with my juicy couture daydreamer bag, because the way its shaped helps.
Basically ill pick something up, pretend like I’m going to get it and hold it in the same hand as my phone. Go to a blind spot and just casualy put your phone in your bag. I do the same thing with my tablet. It helps cover the item so it just looks like your putting your phone away.
Another tip I could also give is one you all probably already know, focus on an item, and while your pretended to be interested in it you slip the item you want with your other hand into your bag.
I highly recommend the phone-in-bag technique. This is pretty much the only method I use for small items. If its a bigger item that cant hide/fit under my phone, I hang my cardigan over my forearm and let it slide down to cover my hand. Then I put my cardigan in my purse, along with whatever was hiding under it in my hand. It sounds awkward but it just takes practice. Better than just chucking items into your bag in plain sight though
ADHD & impulsive tendencies
Sooo I know I havent been on this acct in forever. Ever since I got my ADHD treated w/ Adderall my lifting habits disappeared. Come to find out I have ‘Impulse Control Disorder’ which is related to ADHD, and I didn’t even tell my doc I lift and still got that diagnosis. Butttt I took a hiatus from my meds and the need to rob quickly came back! I went back on the meds but still wanna lift now! Has anyone w/ ADD noticed the same thing? I feel like it all makes sense to me now and I understand my brain a lot better.... pic of what I lifted in the past 2 days (I’m starting back up slow, that’s why its so little lol) CottonOn Romper: 34.95 Free People Dress: 148.00 H&M Shirt: 29.95 Banana Republic Skirt: 98.00 (this store is srsly a ripoff like who would pay almost 100 for a skirt lmao)
Im scared to start lifting again?
After i got caught I was still lifting here and there but lately i just cant, i dont have the confidence i used to, and i really miss it. Any words of encouragement?
same here hun. ive been super paranoid but basically i just forced myself to lift little things at safe/low security stores i know i wont get caught at. try to ease yourself into it at places you’re comfortable with, just one little item at a time. then you can build confidence and get into the hang of it again. this is what worked for me at least. hope this works for u too
2:15- walk into the lob of hobs with elderly grandma
2:20- see cute owl mug and some decor that seems like it should be mine, conceal quietly in usual spot (no cameras or sa’s to be seen)
2:30- notice that ive seen the same guy three times now and he is avoiding eye contact with me, realize this...
One of the saddest and most hil- NO BITCH, the sad thing here is the fact that you're a stripper. If you want respect, maybe you should've graduated high school. 😂😂 when did stripping become a legitimate career?
Awww, you tried so hard, but unfortunately I can’t hear you over the sound of my debt-free college degree and massive disposable income.
my method for lifting at dressing rooms that count!! (i recommend checking how the sa at the dressing rooms handle the clothes before trying this method. for example, if they take the clothes and hang each individually on a hook, i dont recommend this.) so whenever i go to f21 or anywhere else, what i like to do is grab things i want and dont want, but i always make sure to bring some sort of low hanging dress/shirt and put it in the middle of the clothes i carry. i’ll then hang clothing over the neckline of it, and cover the sides with other items of clothing!! super easy and self-explanitory. you can use this to bring clothes in to swap out once you take something off the hanger, etc. make sure what you cover it with actually does cover it (like its not sheer like the black coverup im using as an example or another low hanging item). the more you cover it with, the less bulgy it looks. i like this method better than double hanging because its a little bit easier to explain if you get caught (oh haha i totally forgot about that!! so sorry!!) and it takes less time for me to prepare (since i take years to double hang shirts or dresses). i hope this helps!!
I always use this same exact method. Has yet to fail me

Best Buy Tips
So my friend said he used to work as front door security at Best Buy a few years back (the guys in the yellow shirts at the entrance/exit). Keep in mind I am not 100% sure if these practices are still in place, or apply to every store. I'm just sharing the info I got from him.
Cameras: There are some blindspots in most Best Buys. However, he said that the only person watching the cameras is the guy at the front of the store, which was him. They did not have a backroom with someone monitoring them. And apparently, the screen he would watch the cameras with would only show ONE camera at a time, and it would change every minute or so. So the odds that the security guy is looking at the screen AND happens to be looking at the one camera that is monitoring you, I think is unlikely.
Lifting Methods: He worked there for about a year and only caught ONE person (not sure if people are just that good or he's lazy lol). It was a person changing price tags on TVs to get a cheaper price for a nicer one. They didn't even call police.
Security Tags: Didn't mention anything about them
As I said, this is info from one person who only worked at one store. Take everything with a grain of salt. But still... Given his tips, it seems that it would be rather easy to lift from Best Buy :)
Has anyone lifted a flask from Spencer’s? Because I really want the purple skull one but I’ve only been in there like twice and it was before I started lifting, are they like tagged or anything?
Every post I've seen about spencers says its easy, just hide in one of the back aisles. Btw Icing is suuuuper easy to lift from and they have a bunch of cute flasks. No cameras, one shitty SA, usually empty :)
More reasons to hate LP :)
Haul from 2 days ago + tips/info. I tried something new... Going to stores right when they open early in the morning. It can be good or bad, but was mostly good for me. SAs were usually unprepared, sweeping floors and doing other stuff. Idk if they're just super relaxed at outlet malls or cause it was the morning but I just walked into the fitting rooms no questions asked at most places. I have no hook but covering tags that need hooks with foil worked for me, no alarms went off :) Also hit up the Bloomingdales outlet store for the first few things, they do count items in fitting rooms and have guys that look like either SAs or security walking around in suits on the floor... Michael Kors light coverup/sweater: 60 (? ripped tag off) Kate Spade gold mini wallet: 64.99 Kate Spade black pleather wristlet: 49.99 BCBG MaxAzria paisley shorts: 69 Brooks Brothers Camisole: 29.50 BCBG MaxAzria black dress: 138.60 BCBG MaxAzria peach zip blouse: 96.60 Levi's skinny jeans: 49.99 Brooks Brothers Sweater: 89.50 Francesca's Silver bracelet set: 22 Francesca's Skinny gold bangle: 12 Francesca's Blue bracelet: 14 Francesca's Green bracelet: 28 Francesca's Earrings: 12 TOTAL: $736.17

Lifting problems : when you shove something in your bag and it doesn't go in all the way and gets sketchy
This is how I kind of got caught at a Rite Aid recently lol
What kind of magnets from Home Depot will work to take off a security tag??
Not sure about this one. Do any of my followers know by chance? I just ordered my magnet online and it works like a charm xxx
None really. I bought the rare earth N40 magnets and they only work on older pencil tags and that’s it and I have 6 if them and then another 6 square N40 magnets
N40 magnets are very weak!! You need N52 to get stronger tags off.
I ordered two for this weekend and paid $26 for 2 day shipping for it to not be here until Tuesday…I ordered it on Wednesday. Wtf
I lifted the strongest magnets available at Home Depot, they only worked on tags at the Gap (think they were pencil tags if I remember correctly). Didn't work on anything else. You can see which ones I bought I made a post about it.
Deleted my last post cause I ended up doing a little haul today after all.
Sperrys from Nordstrom Rack (no hidden sensor, didn’t beep when I walked out): $55? 7 Jeans (they didn’t even use tags at their store or count my items in the dressing room wtf): $178 Gucci Envy Me Eau de Toilette: $72 (see that tag in the second pic? I kept it on but didn’t beep when I left lol its just to scare people)
TOTAL: $305
