repost cuz it had too many notes
Okay, I haven’t been doing this for long, but I’ve been doing reasonably well, especially since the pre/during Christmas period is when I’ve done the bulk of my magic. I’ve fucked up a few times. I’ve beeped. I’ve hit locations more frequently than I should have, and when I haven’t known what I’m walking into. But I still haven’t been suspected, or caught.
And I’m gonna say this because I know there are a few new lifters around:
Here’s what I’m offering:
Know yourself
Know your limits. Don’t get cocky. Don’t get over-ambitious. When I first got to the online lifting community, I saw epic hauls, and yeah, I was like, “This is awesome. I want to do this.” But I also know my own limitations. Obviously I’m not going to walk out with a designer handbag the first time I lift: you need to ease yourself into it.
Educate yourself
Especially for the US lifters, there is a wealth of information out there on tag types used in stores, company policy, etc. Read it. Be a little sponge for information in your early days, and remember things.
Adapt to new environments
You may not know how everything works, but look and learn. One of the best tactics is to scope out things in a non-sus way. Keep an eye on where cameras are, and assume that all of them are monitored. Remember that while your eyes can move, your body doesn’t have to. This also goes for blindspots: temporary displays, or cages being unpacked, can create perfect blindspots for you. Distracted staff who are presumably not going to be shoplifted in front of might have their back turned, creating perfect opportunities for you. Remember, a lot of security is based around how they think lifters work and this doesn’t account for people doing things like concealing when someone had their back turned or utilising a cage in front of a camera. Physical blindspots are one thing, but *human* blindspots are something else entirely.
Be aware of your body language
Don’t rush and fidget after lifting. Don’t give any indication that you’re nervous. Gear yourself into autodrive; convince yourself that you’re just browsing, and continue that mindset immediately before and after concealing. “Forget” that you’ve concealed once you have. Learn how to do things with your hands without actually looking at your hands: this is super important for peeling off RFIDs on the floor, as well as concealing.
Be Quick
Don’t fuck around with packaging (don’t be scared to leave something on the shelf if you don’t think you can untag it) in a way that’s noisy or complicated or is going to require lots of messing around. Don’t lift in ways that mean unnaturally adjusting your bag or clothing. If you put your hand into a pocket, pulling out a phone rather than nothing is a better idea. The aim is to be fluid and natural.
Get out if you feel sussed
I don’t give a shit if you’re missing out on something you really want, the moment you make a certain eye contact with the certain wrong somebody– and trust me, you will know that look– ditch what they have seen and get the fuck out. You can get that something elsewhere. It’s not worth ruining your future for a bottle of foundation.
Pay attention to staff
Watch out for who’s working when you lift or suss out a shop. Don’t rely on them forgetting you. And the moment you feel recognised? Get out. And aim not to return for a long time. There are a few places I won’t be going back to for awhile, but I was smart enough to make sure they weren’t places I frequent anyway. Don’t count on your “well, I got away that time” meaning that you’re going to be safe the next time you go in.
Bullshit
Learn to conceal well and bullshit. Learn how to move the contents of your bag aside, concealing what you’ve jacked. Learn how to breezily roll your eyes about something you bought elsewhere that sets off alarms. Learn how to act like normal people would in any ordinary situation. Fluster, be embarassed, you have no idea what’s going on. Humans are social creatures who empathise and generally will interact well with people who are “nice.” Be nice. Be everything they want you to be, and they won’t want you to be one of the “bad guys”.
Make use of diversion
If you offer up your handbag for inspection and are carrying bags of groceries, odds are likely that you’re not going to be asked to reveal the contents of the grocery bags. Look at where people are directing their line of sight, and work out how to do things out of that line of sight. Learn how to “look” at one product while you’re concealing another one.
Learn where the weak points are
Nine times out of ten, humans are the weakest link in every security system. Know when staff are going to be distracted because they’re exhausted/bored/busy. Know where to hit human empathy. Know where to hit blindspots. Find that untagged item or changeroom consultant who doesn’t count, while you have an extra item concealed under a mountain of clothing. Most SAs are not naturally suspicious unless something tweaks their alarm bells. Don’t tweak their alarm bells.
Start Small
Seriously, don’t aim for high-end makeup palettes just yet. Maybe a lipstick is a good starter. Wear long sleeves, get a sense of sleight of hand and acting normal first. Get comfortable with what you’re doing.
Aim for improvement
No matter how good you are, you can always do better. Not in terms of stuff acquired, in terms of subtlety and timing and technique. Every time you lift, once you’re out of the danger zone, reflect on what you’ve done. Look at it as though you’re watching a video of how you did it, and work out where you fucked up. Make sure you never make the same mistake again. Making mistakes is fine, and part of the learning process, as long as you actually learn from them and don’t get your arse busted while doing so.
Take breaks
Don’t lift daily. Don’t lift when you’re in the middle of anxiety or something awful has happened. Even if you get away clean, you’re going to feel it for awhile afterwards. I get that lifting CAN ease negative feelings, but when you’re emotional and out of control, that’s when you’re liable to fuck up. Use the prospect of getting out to lift again as a motivation to get your headshit together by all means, but make sure you’re operating at full capacity when you hit. The best situation, otherwise, is getting out with stuff, but wondering how you did it, and being haunted. The typical situation is leaving empty handed. The worst? Getting caught. All three of these are not ideal situations.
Don’t do what they’re expecting you to do
This is basically the crux of it: don’t act like what people think a “typical lifter” is. Dressing well is part of it. But another part of it is knowing what items are likely to get lifted, and not pointedly going for them. Another part is controlling your body language– your thoughts, even– and being normal. Another part is not returning to the scene of a huge haul because you know it’s “easy.” Being polite and friendly rather than evasive and suss, when talked to, will make you look far less suspicious than if they’re already onto you and you are annoyed or aggressive. Hell, you might get people THINKING you look suss, but convincing themselves that you’re not because they’ve watched you and you’re just a bit OCD or awkward rather than lifting. They know you. You’re fiiine.
Look at how you leave stock
If you’re going to leave packaging anywhere, return it to in the middle of the items on display, packaged up fine, like you opened it to look at the item and then returned it. Don’t leave it somewhere random, and don’t leave it at the front or the back: that’s obvious. Leave it where it’s not going to draw attention for some time. If you’re going to leave rubbish, make sure it looks like rubbish (rather than a destroyed tag) or is well hidden. If you have to double-tag, double-tag in inconspicuous spots, like inside a pocket of an item that you never even took into a dressing room. If that changeroom you walked into had no hangers in it, don’t leave any. Grab stock from the back of a section rather than the front, or if you do that, face it forward: remember, a lot of LP will look at stock rather than customers, and if something it missing in an otherwise tidy area that you were in, it can look suss.
Work out how you work best
I prefer working alone. I probably have trust issues to the point where I don’t want to rely on anyone. Sleight of hand and bullshit are probably my best skills. I would prefer to take a little longer in a shop and be recognised, but also to be thought of as a bit of a weirdo rather than a suss lifter. And I treat every other person, camera, point of observation, etc, as a potential risk.
And that’s not necessarily going to be everyone’s best technique. A huge part of this is knowing your strengths and weaknesses, and basically maximising and minimising accordingly. Since we’re all different, we’re all going to have different ways of doing things that feel comfortable for us: the thing is that you’ve got to feel comfortable. If, say, you’re more of an in-out ninja type, you’re not going to feel as comfy talking to people. You need to work out what actually works for you, and resembles something close to normal.

heads up for s3ph0r@
DO NOT LEAVE THE PACKAGING BEHIND. seen so many tiktoks lately talking about catching l1fters at s3ph0ra. one of the BIGGEST things they say is that leaving the box behind is the worst thing you can do !!!!!!!! most things are NOT TAGGED INSIDE and removing the box to leave in on the shelf is an awful idea. it’s basically telling the staff “hey i stole something and i’ll leave lots of evidence behind for you to catch me!” don’t leave an evidence trail. if something is tagged on the outside try your best to peel it off or find an untagged one. no the barcode will not beep. just take the box with you PLEASE.
this used to be common knowledge i thought but lately i think there’s a lot of misconception about the boxes. my friends who work in retail tell me that they literally collect all the boxes from the shelves afterwards and they now know exactly what has been stolen and can track it on the cameras. certain s3ph0ra even have bins of empty boxes to track what is taken most often and will use that to crack down on security in those areas.
(WORK IN PROGRESS, PLS DM IF YOU WANT TO ADD STUFF!)
MASTER LIST OF STORES AND EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW!!!
2024 vers
Adidas:
Aeropostale: Basically broke, barely any cameras and employees tend to not care and not count items for dressing rooms which are usually open and don't have to be asked for. I have almost never seen anything tagged. jewelry and perfumes are right by checkout so not recommended for that.
Abercrombie & Fitch:
American Eagle:
Armani:
Banana Republic:
Barnes & Noble: Uses Rfid tags and sometimes spider wraps on kpop albums and anime figures if there’s frequent theft in area. Cameras are not actively monitored, but are checked after theft. Store managers are the only ones who have the authority to call the police. They won’t chase. Pretty easy to lift from.
Bath & Body Works: Intermediate
More than a few employees and a small but busy store, small items are right by the cashiers, employees will immediately talk to you and offer a basket but will usually leave you alone after first entering unless engaged in conversation. mall locations usually no/minimal cameras and no/obvious tagging.
No LP, and cameras aren't actively monitored. The stores are small and have many employees mostly concentrated at the counters except for a greeter who helps customers with questions. They don't prosecute, but they call mall security and will let them determine if police will be called. This is a store only good for small lifts, and then leaving quickly.
Bed, Bath, and Beyond: Out of business.
Best Buy: There is security in the front. They will tackle. Very hard to lift from.
Bloomingdales:
Books-a-million:
Burlington Coat Factory:
Carson’s:
Chanel:
COACH:
Costco: Wouldn’t recommend. Unless you have a gift card, they will use your membership info to find out more about you.
CVS: Uses RFID tags on some products (some medicines and some makeup) but that varies on the location. Some at locations the security towers don’t go off (don’t risk it). Semi-Easy
They have no chase policy and workers aren’t allowed to do anything. They can’t stop you, or ask to check your bag unless it’s LP. Cameras are usually non actively monitored. LP rotates regionally, usually working two, 8-hour shifts per week at specific stores.
Dick’s Sporting Goods: Not recommended for beginners. Conceal in dressing room or in tall aisles. Check for stickers/tags and dispose of accordingly. RFID Tags on clothes can set off alarms.
Dillard’s: Hard store. Dedicated LP.
Dollar General: Super easy, conceal in aisles. some stores are going out of business, take advantage of areas without cameras.
Dollar Tree: Beginner Friendly Store
Oftentimes, the cameras are fake. Few employees are usually in the store. DT doesn't want to waste money on security or LP because their products are cheap.
Family Dollar: Uses rfid tags on electronics, some hair and body products.
At most they will have four employees in the store, but they usually only have one or two. Extremely easy as long as you watch over your shoulders. At some locations the workers are required to tell you to leave your book bag at the front. If you're a school student—but they usually don’t care enough to say it or enforce the rule.
Semi-Easy
Five and Below: Minimal employees, cameras spread out and usually shown on tvs around the store to deter, minimal to no tagging and sometimes even no sensors at the door. usually one employee at the front that can see a tv with camera footage displayed but usually distracted or busy and not watching cameras.
Finish Line/Footlocker:
Flying Tiger: Medium
No LP, but small with a lot of cameras. Went to one in a mall
Food Lion:
Gamestop: Intermediate with how small the stores are. I've only lifted once from there and it was a small pack of Pokémon cards, and I did so by concealing it in my sleeve behind a display case. gamestop is good for small and quick lifts— then never going back for a few months or weeks.
GAP:
GNC:
Gucci: Too hard. Best bet is a grab and run. I've legitimately witnessed lifters being tackled by security/LP. it's CRAZY tbh
H&M:
Hobby Lobby: So easy. The aisles are very tall and usually the only cameras are near the front by the registers. Body concealing is recommended.
Hollister: There are cameras. Hook is required to detag. Fairly easy so long as you are not counted for clothes. Security is seldom called, so just be sneaky and don’t get sloppy.
Home Depot:
Hot Topic: Use Pencil Tags and Ink tags. Sometimes there’s a camera up front near the desk but usually there’s no camera. Depends on the value, store location, and what the item is.
Hot topic is/was a good place to lift from, but they've begun tagging their shit to hell and back. its best to, if ur ht has it, take off tags in between the shirt racks (clearance, the ones that hang)
Jo-Ann Fabrics: Just as easy as Hobby Lobby, but there is a camera at the beginning of the entrance. Conceal in blind spots near the back of the store. Watch out for customers.
JC Penny:
King Super’s:
K-Mart:
Kohl’s:
Kroger:
Lord and Taylor:
Lowes:
Lush: On busy days they tend to position their employees in areas of the store where they will just scan the area and look for anyone who's lifting. I suggest building a good reputation with the employees by acting like a good, possible customer so they'll pay no mind to you. I do believe that some lush stores have cameras but a lot don't, and not many security measures are in place.
Macy’s:
Martin’s (closing):
Meijers:
Mervyns:
Michael’s: Conceal in blind spots, quite easy as long as you avoid cameras. I wouldn’t recommend going super often as most stores exits are located by the registers and you have to walk past a cashier to leave.
Michael Kor’s:
Nike: Stickers on apparel tags. Take clothing and conceal in fitting room. For shoes, use structured bag and conceal where there aren’t any cameras. Check shoes for any stickers or tags beforehand.
Nordstrom: If you are a teen, SA will be on your ass. Not only are they paid on commission, they make extra for catching shoplifters.
Office Depot/Max: Barely any cameras except near the front. Don’t try and get printer ink. School supplies are easy, just body conceal in aisles. Watch out for workers.
Old Navy:
Pet-Co:
PetSmart:
Rite Aid:
Ross: High LP, lots of cameras, and almost everything is tagged because of l1fting problems
Safeway:
Sam’s Club:
Sears:
Sephora: Crouch down to conceal, and don’t go around in circles too much. If you have a blind spot, gather everything you want, conceal, and discreetly leave. Walk around the check out area so you look like you’re considering purchasing items.
Sheetz:
Spencer’s: Uses sticker sensors on their jewelry; I'm unsure of what they put on clothing
Spirit Halloween: At my spirit halloween (all stores could be different) the monitor they have only showed 4 cameras at a time there were a lot of blind spots I hid behind a shelf and concealed a lot. There was one employee walking around one at the front greeting guests and one at the register where the camera monitor was at.
Staples: Same as Office Depot.
Stop & Shop:
Sunglass Hut: Easier to bring an old pair of sunglasses and switch them. Check tags, and don’t go if it’s not busy. LP situation is unknown but it’s good to practice sleight of hand.
Target: Uses RFID and hard tags. Notoriously hard to lift from, build’s cases, and employees and security are allowed to chase.
Things Remembered:
Toys R Us:
Tuesday Morning:
Ulta: Easier than Sephora. Conceal in haircare or while crouching. They cannot chase. Watch out for customers and don’t linger around too much in blind spots.
Vans:
Virginia Diner Shoppe:
Walmart: Lots of cameras especially in high l1fting areas and usually a lot of employees. sometimes employ plain clothes LP and door greeters can ask to see receipts but not in your bag. lots of blind spots from cameras in home goods like trash cans and pet aisles. can put it in a bag and check for tags in bathrooms before exiting. jewelry is tagged (from experience). possibly shares database with target and handles l1fters like target. imo easier than target though.
Walgreens:
Wawa:
Wegman’s:
Zumiez:
7-Eleven: Easy to lift food and candy. Don’t exactly know if they have tags but if you body conceal.
manga hauls ft. momo 🫶🏼
havent stopped my grind yall jaja im just too lazy to post
me looking at the camera and walking away w 5 items in my 🍑
Some thought on liftblr:
Y’all think shoplifting is the same for everybody? No it ain’t; it’s also a classicist system. If you look rich n’ white, ain’t nobody gonna look at your direction twice. But if you’re dark n’ less well-dressed? Oh ho you’re auto targeted as high-risk. My theory about why liftblr is a thing is cuz Tumblr’s main demographic is white young girls—and that kinda speaks for itself. The point is: minorities, DO NOT blindly follow their advice. Y’all take care of yourselves.
when you go in a store to lift and you see someone you know working there
newbie tip for some of the newer lifters i see on here
if you’re unsure about an item because it doesn’t have a hard tag on it, put the paper tag to the light. This will help you check for any rfid’s. Make sure if they do, to either remove the tag / slash it / rip it to deactivate the rfid. the rfid tags WILL beep and you will get caught.
these are just some examples of what to look for, different stores may have different rfid tags. These tags came in some online orders and i thought it was pretty funny lol. be careful everyone!
beeped while exiting þ4řñ3z + ñ0þI3 a couple of days ago but i was leaving alongside another customer thankfully n remained calm.
i didnt understand if it was genuinely me or them who had beeped until i got home.
@ any1 who wants those hefty handmade italian leather journals with fancy designs in plastic wrap: its important 2 know they have rfid tags embedded INTO the cover, on the inside, where they cant be seen unless removed from their plastic packaging.
