Hi so like a month ago ne and my friend where at a store and none of the doors beeped but I wanted to go into one last store, and it beeped the lady aproched us and asked if we needed help I did talk to her a bit, but we left acting confused, we hadn't been in there so we hadn't lifted from there. But I've been worried to go back ever since. Any advice?
my original blog (same name and icon) got banned from l*fting tumblr ...
a very homophobic, girlphobic, anti gatherer action
anyway im back. if anybody has reblogs of my posts i would love to be tagged in those tbh so i can get them back
ALSO would love it if ppl reblogged this post so i can find all my old mutuals again :(
body concealing 101, with pictures
(or, how to gain 20lbs without really trying)
after the insanely long wait, iâve finally gotten around to this thing. before we start, please keep in mind this is a one-size-(hopefully)-fits-all guide, as i am thin and short and have tits and have never been any other way lmao. if anyone of other body types wants to make their own post/add onto this please do so!
in this guide i will frequently use the words conceal and (re)pack. to conceal in the context of this guide means to be inside a store actively lifting, where taking too much time will get you caught regardless of if youâre on floor or in a changeroom. i use the word pack to refer to a location outside of a store (such as a mall bathroom or even your own car) where nobody is really paying attention to you and you are free to spend a significant amount of time changing/repacking all your items.
DO WEAR
something you can move in
clothes (especially pants) a size up, but not noticeably too big on you
a jacket (a puffy winter jacket whenever reasonable)
plain, mostly dark colours
something that hides the shape of your body
DONT WEAR
ultra-tight OR ultra-loose clothing
thick, heavy clothing on a hot day
something youâre not willing to stretch/rip by accident
1. SMALL ITEMS (makeup, toiletries, jewellery, etc)
lets start on easy mode. watch this video first. notice how much stuff iâve managed to fit on my body in places that are (relatively) easy to reach? now consider that you can also body pack in harder to reach places such as down a pantleg, in your shoes, around your arms, between breasts ⊠you have more space than you think, and body packing is just a matter of trying to fit things together.
small items can be concealed easily in the front waistband of your pants, up your sleeves, or in pockets, and packed later in more difficult-to-reach places such as against your back in your waistband, inside your bra, or pushed lower into your pants. small mouldable items like a facemask or makeup brush can also be stretched out along your leg inside your pants, so long as you can bend your knees and walk normally.
bra packing is a very handy tool i use frequently. soft things (such as panties) can be concealed in the cups against your breasts and it is possible to fit something cylindrical between them or on either side of you bra, parallel to where your arms fall. if your bra has fabric that covers around your rib area, items can be packed in there as well (provided it is tight enough; see above video).
waistbands are a godsend when it comes to concealing. i like to conceal high up in the waistband where i donât have to move my shirt too much to reach, and later adjust things to pack lower down in my pants. if you layer itâs easy to fit an absolute shitload of stuff in here without any bulging (more on this in the next section). the small of your back can also be used to pack items, just check a mirror to make sure it doesnât look funny.
finally, shoes can hold a lot of stuff. high-top boots are good for dropping long items into, and mukluks are amazing for storage (just beware if you put stuff in your boots you may eventually end up walking on it ⊠donât stick earrings down there. please learn from my mistakes.)
2. CLOTHES (shirts, pants, bras, panties, etc sans shoes)
two strategies here. iâd start by layering, and then wrapping when you can no longer layer without looking weird. when layering, i recommend wearing a slightly loose (not baggy) shirt and jeans that are either worn enough to move very easily with you or are a half size/one full size too big, just so you have a little wiggle room to put things underneath
layering is not only an excellent way to pack clothes, it also creates extra space and smooths the look of small items. the idea here is to just wear multiple types of one piece of clothing at once. notice how in the video i linked at the beginning of this post that iâm wearing 3 bras and 3 pairs of pants (one of which is high-waisted tights) which not only gives me more space to pack in, but also keeps things tighter to my body and therefore less likely to shift/fall out.Â
depending on your size, you may be able to layer more than i can without looking odd. i can fit about 3 pairs of pants (2 jeans/1 lulu tights) before it gets too tight to move easily, and anywhere between 3-7 shirts depending on style and thickness. always put your lifted clothing underneath your original clothes unless you are heading to a completely new location. do not change outfits in a mall, you can change between different standalone stores or malls.
wrapping involves literally wrapping an item of clothing around your torso or waist. you gotta make sure not to crumple what youâre wrapping, or itâll look funny through your shirt/pants. i like to tuck things slanted through my bra, around my body, and then down into my waistband like so, because itâs more secure. if you wrap around your waist and only tuck into the waistband, make sure almost the whole garment fits into your waistband because gravity might make it flop around at the top, which looks sus as hell
3. BULKY OBJECTS (larger/weirdly shaped packaging, shoes)
gonna be honest, this shit sucks to body conceal and i donât do it frequently. body packing isnât always comfortable, but weirdly shaped stuff just hurts. these sorts of objects are best concealed when wearing a big jacket/scarf, as its really hard to completely hide. i prefer to gtfo of the store asap with these things, ditch the packaging and then repack it well. i will occasionally break my âbody conceal onlyâ rule on these things and put them in a shopping bag/my purse just because they suck so much to conceal. i recommend lifting these sorts of items at the end of your trip so that youâre not super uncomfortable for a long period of time. dump them in your car or purse as soon as its safe.
the only good way iâve found to do this is a long scarf, baggy shirt, and puffy jacket. i skipped the jacket in these in these pics.
4. HOW MUCH CAN YOU FIT?
the obvious question. here we go. starting with the bottom layer, hereâs 10 pairs of panties and 6 bras/bralettes. because of tumblrâs img limit, youâll have to trust me when i say this shitâs invisible under my jeans. i look bustier than usual, but to anyone who doesnât know my tits the way i do, i look normal.
next, 3 pairs of pants and 25 small items, including facemasks, makeup, and fake nails. for illustrative purposes, iâve left a lot of it sticking out the top of my waistband, but in reality you want that shit jammed down there tight against your body.
finally, 8 shirts and a sweatshirt to cover it up. notice the tiny bulge by my waist; the shirts were starting to curl at the bottom and i didnât bother to smooth them out because i was sweating so fucking much and just wanted to get all this shit off me.
hereâs a video proving iâm wearing what i say i am.
and hereâs all the shit i had on my body. 10 panties, 6 bras/bralettes, 3 pants, 9 shirts, and 25 small items.
5. FINAL THOUGHTS
always always always do a 360 in a mirror or at least try to look down at yourself to see if anythingâs bulging or looking weird. sometimes things that look sus looking down at your body look fine from an outside perspective, and sometimes something that looks flat to you will look obviously bulky in a mirror. remember to raise your arms, reach out, lean, crouch, and twist to make sure your packing stays where itâs meant to and that you are actually capable of moving like a human being. please wear deodorant when packing because youâre gonna sweat like a motherfucker.
packing well takes practice. wearing something high-waisted or shapewear under your jeans can help to smooth out bumps and give you more space for packing. you can pack literally like. almost anywhere on your body you can reachâi packed a shirt along my spine once, iâve twisted a scarf along the length of my arm under my shirt, and stuffed my boots with little earring packs. if it works, it works. be safe and happy lifting ! :)

sorry for not posting guys. i moved to using discord since i feel its more private than tumblr. however i am continuing my usually crīmes.
Please spread the word. I'm a LP for Target and we keep a log of all serial #s on all laptops, consoles, and TVs so when they go missing, we report the serial number. The lifter who took it is usually found because the police track it if it's connected to the internet. So PLEASE, don't lift expensive electronics because A. It requires tremendous skill to get it out of the store undetected, and B. They will track it if it's connected to the web.
oh yikes!!âïžâïžâïžâïžâïžâïžâïžâïžâïžâïžâïžâïžâïžâïžâïžâïžâïžâïžâïžâïžâïžâïžâïžâïžâïžâïžâïžâïžâïžâïžâïžâïžâïž
Not a surprise in the least. But very good to know!
Lifters supporting lifters (PLEASE READ)
So Iâve been thinking about this for a while but Iâve seen that some more experienced and ballsy lifters are able to pull off some hauls that others canât for whatever reason, such as being too scared. Iâve came up with an idea that these experienced and willing lifters lift whatever the item it is that the other person wants and sells it to them, obviously at a lower amount than for what it retails for. This way the lifter helps out the other lifters and receives compensation for it.
Hereâs an example. Lila is a calm and collected lifter who has several disguises that will protect her identity. Millie is a newbie but really wants a glam glow moisturizer. Millie asks Lila if she could get it for her and sell it to her. The moisturizer costs $70, but she sells it for $40 including the shipping costs and all. Lila gets compensated and Millie receives the moisturizer she really wanted. The end.
However, this is directed to honest lifters ONLY. This means you cannot take advantage of Millieâs inexperience and overcharge her or scam her by selling a counterfeit product instead of the original product for your gain. That is not what we do in the lifting community. Remember, we only scam and take from big businesses, NOT people.
If you are interested in doing this sort of business, please reblog and share the word and let us all know if youâre in and what youâre interested in being.. a Lila or a Millie. Spread the word and letâs all help each other out!!
just like to stop in and say that i will l-ft you any item in my power and sell it to you for dirt cheap i just need to make a small profit at least. 7 years of lift experience under my belt, mag and hook owner, i have wigs and outfits for disguises and i can always make a runner !!
hey r u still doing stuff like this? just wondering i donât have much experience myself w l1fting so yeah :)
Iâm 2 for 1 Lila and Millie hmu
I so want to do this! Makeup and beauty are my speciality.

Hi you guys I had to do a grocery haul and I did what every one knows not to do and that's go back in after they suspect me from taking2. The dude in the store said that the police would pull me over and that this was my only option. And I feel for it.
They had anouther recording of me taking a chart from the store and they are going to take me to curt for one of 985, and anouther of 500. Have no idea what this is going to look like. I'm still a minor and don't know what to expect?
Anyone know?
PS FUXKINV A
I got a note on my door from the local police and just yesterdayi had done a lift I wanst to confident in and today when I was going home on my door was the local police card and on the back it said "would like to talk to you about a theft case" I'm hoping it was just for a package theft I had told shien and Amazon about but if not. I'm not willing to find out. Help what should I do, I threw it away-
shoplifting master list, not mine but im posting bcuz its amazing
Adidas: Difficult to shoplift from. Cameras arenât usually monitored, but staff are dedicated and can make commission. They are usually inclined to try to stop theft. Tagging is frequent and efficient at Adidas stores.
Aeropostale: Cameras are few and far between. Cameras are never actively monitored, and most exist only to stop ORC/internal theft. Aero doesnât chase, and doesnât prosecute. Their staff has little LP training, and has no employees dedicated to LP. Staff usually donât count dressing room items, and donât do much about even obvious lifting (other than calling mall security). Very easy.
Abercrombie & Fitch: Cameras arenât actively monitored. Only LP is regular staff, but usually only store managers call police or mall security. Staff sometimes counts fitting room items. A&F has a strict policy not to chase lifters, but they will call police or mall security. Often times they wonât press charges and will just ask for merchandise to be returned. Fairly easy.
American Eagle: Wonât chase, and cameras arenât actively monitored. Staff usually count fitting room items, and fitting rooms are locked until you request one. They will prosecute if caught, but the only LP measures they take are calling police or mall security. Fairly easy.
Armani: Has a small staff-customer ratio, and lifting is almost impossible. Cameras are actively monitored, and staff follows customers around almost ubiquitously (just so they donât have to search for a salesperson when they have a question or need help with something). Near impossible.
Banana Republic: Hardest of all the GAP Inc. stores. Has staff who is generally dedicated, and who will usually monitor cameras. Tagging is frequent so be careful and only conceal in dressing rooms. Will often chase, prosecute, and ban. They usually call police and mall security.
Barnes & Noble: Uses RFID tags on products over $40, all electronics, most manga, and most hardcover books. Cameras are not actively monitored, but will be checked after a theft has occurred. Store managers are the only ones who have the authority to call police. Store managers are the only staff who can trail shoplifters, but they will give aggressive customer service if they suspect you. They wonât chase you, and will simply call to you from the door and ask you to come back inside. If you refuse, they will try to get your license plate number. Gifts, journals, trinkets, moleskines, paper blanks, and art supplies are never tagged. If youâre being followed, staff will back off every few minutes to allow you to dump the merchandise. Try to conceal in the kids section, as there are no cameras usually. Very easy store, but not for beginners.
Bath & Body Works: No LP, and cameras arenât 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 donât 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: Stores vary. While cameras are usually monitored, and LP exists regionally, tall shelves and big displays make concealment much easier. Will chase, prosecute, and ban.
Best Buy: A very risky bet. They do have actively watched cameras, and a stationary guard, who watches them. Staff can follow you into the restroom. You are not necessarily running against the staff, itâs the cameras that will bite you in the ass. If you do a blatant walkout and get caught (and flee), your picture is sure to be sent to other stores, and potentially posted online. No chase policy, but if you walk out with an item, you have exactly one chance to do so. If you do so, you cannot go back to that store for at least a year. If staff suspects a shoplifter, they will actively provide âCustomer Supportâ in an effort to make you drop what you have and leave the store. Concealment is quite easy in the store, just watch for cameras. I found that hiding near appliances works the best.
Bloomingdales: Actively monitored PTZ cameras. Staffed with a team of LP professionals, and most staff has basic LP training. They will chase, prosecute, fine, and ban. Quite hard.
Books-a-million: They have very good cameras, but they arenât actively monitored, and they usually donât record. Employees are few and far between, and at some locations, the door alarms are fake. Most books arenât tagged, regardless of price. BAM usually has expensive autographed copies of books that can be resold at a larger profit. (This is my personal favorite store).
Burberry (OUTLET) : (Hard Difficulty) Burberry Outlets use Sensormatic SuperTags so as long as you got a hook your set. Cameras are actively monitored but items going into dressing room are not counted so you can find a way to sneak multiple items into the dressing room and then detag and conceal an item.
Burlington Coat Factory: Cameras are usually actively monitored. Wonât usually chase, but there are no specific policies. Will always call police, and will usually ban or ask you to leave even if you pass the POS with unpaid merchandise.
Carsonâs: Cameras are actively monitored. LP rotate regionally, but have been cut back since the sale of Carsonâs to the Proffitt Holding Group. Most stores outside of Illinois donât tag many items, except for designer handbags and other items over a couple hundred bucks. Staff will call police even if someone is thought to be concealing merchandise. Fairly difficult.
Chanel: Staff is very dedicated and classy. One employee is always looking at cameras. While it is one of the easier designer stores, it is still extremely risky. Your best bet is a grab and run.
COACH: Same as Armani.
Costco: Costco is a membership-only store, but there is a way to gain access to the store if youâre not a member (and you shouldnât be if you plan to lift, since Costco has the personal information of all members). By US law, a store canât limit their pharmacy to members, so you can walk in the door with a âprescriptionâ, then grab whatever you want. Furthermore, you can claim to be using the optical section and they will let you in. Also, the card-checkers at the door rarely look closely at your membership card so just flash an expired card or make a laminated fake. Receipt-checkers make theft hard, so either conceal everything, or have a fake receipt ready. The only cameras in the store are by the registers, so every other part of the store is a blind spot. If they see you stealing, they will call the police and prosecute.
CVS: Cameras are usually non actively monitored. LP rotates regionally, usually working two, 8-hour shifts per week at specific stores (especially when large thefts are discovered). CVS is usually bad a tagging merchandise that Corporate would want tagged. Regular staff wonât chase, but LP can confront you in store, but they will only try to get your license plate. Medium range difficulty.
Dickâs Sporting Goods: While they employee LP and actively monitor cameras in most locations, LP is poor and there are may easy blind spots to conceal in. Only security is concentrated near the firearms section (for âsafety reasonsâ). LP usually wonât chase, but they sometimes break company policy. Police will almost always be called once a lifter leaves the store. Medium difficulty.
Dillardâs: Cameras are monitored actively, and a few LP are usually working. They donât typically employ plainclothes AP/LP, but treat all customers as potential LP. Dillardâs will chase, ban, and prosecute. When a large lift is attempted, LP will not hesitate to physically detain lifters.
Dollar General: No LP, and staff is usually older. Strict no chase policies are in place, and cameras are not actively monitored. Easy.
Dollar Tree: Oftentimes, the cameras are fake. Few employees are usually in store. DT doesnât want to waste money on security or LP because their products are cheap. Basically a free-for-all. Beginner-level store.
Family Dollar: Sometimes they donât even have cameras. 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.
Five and Below: Among the easiest stores. Staff mostly remain at the counter unless they are stocking items. They will call police after a lifter has left the store. Cameras are few if any, and arenât actively monitored. Five and Below only really cares about ORC and internal theft, but employs no LP. Staff donât care to stop obvious lifters, and will usually just attempt to get a license plate number, or picture of them.
Finish Line/Footlocker: Both donât monitor cameras except ones in the back (to prevent ORC). Staff wonât chase, but they will ban, prosecute, and try to get a license plate number or picture of the suspect. LP is regional, and is usually called in after thefts.
Food Lion: Generally an easy store. At matt locations, the check-out lanes âblockâ the exits which makes the possibility of being spotted greater. Cameras tend to be monitored (especially when big shipments are coming in). LP is nonexistent, and it is up to managers to stop you. Food Lion will ban, and sometimes prosecute. Police are almost always called.
Gamestop: Usually they only have one or two non monitored, non-recording cameras. Employee(s) will usually remain at the counter or on the sales floor, so theft or concealment is difficult. Higher end electronics are kept in locked cabinets. Efforts to lift from Gamestop are usually futile.
GAP: Easier than Banana Republic. Cameras are usually not monitored, but are well placed. Cashier desk is far from the main door. Door alarms are ubiquitous in use. LP situation unknown. Be cautious and donât conceal on the floor unless the item is small.
GNC: Wonât chase. No LP. Doesnât actively monitor cameras (cameras are very few). Regional managers are usually concerned with and tasked with tackling internal theft. Employees will at most try to get a license plate, and they may ban you if they see you conceal in store.
Gucci: Good LP and PTZ cameras. They wonât hesitate to tackle you and do anything to retrieve merchandise.
H&M: Frequently uses plainclothes in US stores. Cameras are sometimes actively monitored. LP at H&M is fairly good for a small store. Will usually call mall security if they think someone is stealing.
Hobby Lobby: Fairly easy, but still the hardest craft store. They do employ limited LP who will try to apprehend shoplifters once they pass the POS. Often they will ask for the merchandise back and just ban you. Police are called if any employee or customer is physically injured or if threats are made. In that case, they will prosecute.
Hollister: Cameras arenât monitored, and there is no LP. Many stores have door alarms as a deterrent, because they are too far away to be seen or possibly heard at the cashier desk. Hollister will call mall security. They wonât chase, but they will ask for merchandise back or issue a Civil Demand, and they will ban permanently. All clothing in the store is tagged with Sensormatic SuperTags so a detacher hook is all you need.
Home Depot: While they actively monitor cameras and employ LP, Home Depot LP is usually ineffective at stopping small theft because they have such a large store to cover, which has extremely expensive items spread throughout.
Hot Topic: Difficulty of HT stores varies wildly. Most donât have cameras, but some have one near the front desk. In either case, the cameras arenât monitored unless a robbery or major theft has occurred. There is no LP, but regional managers can be called in if a large theft has occurred. Staff shouldnât chase you, but store managers have been known to break this policy in an attempt to get pictures or license plate numbers. They will usually call mall security, but not police. Staff usually follow and pester suspected lifters, and they will pretend to straighten displays new you. Their main technique is to offer you something that matches what they think youâve concealed (this is to intimidate you into dumping the merchandise). Be careful.
Jo-Ann Fabrics: Very easy store. Many displays near the store entrance make it easy to conceal and leave quickly. There is no LP, but if they see you conceal, they will customer service you to death. Police might be called. Managers can try to call you back into the store, but wonât chase further than the sidewalk. Signs stating âShoplifters will be prosecutedâ are deterrents that make up for a lack of LP or security monitoring. Cameras around these signs are fake, and all Jo-Ann cameras have a blindspot within a 5 feet cone of the camera.
JC Penny: Lax LP as far as most department stores go. LP is employed and they actively monitor cameras. Plainclothes are used in high shrink stores.
King Superâs: Extremely good LP, who ESPECIALLY HEAVILY monitor the alcohol. Cameras are always actively monitored. KS LP will go to extreme lengths to apprehend lifters. Police are always called after concealment, or in the event of assault of a staff member.
K-Mart: Surprisingly decent LP who sometimes actively monitor cameras. Cameras donât always record. They will always chase you, but wonât get physical unless you touch them or try to flee.
Kohlâs: Not too hard to lift from if you conceal in the dressing rooms and leave quickly. Plainclothes are common, and LP is good at making fitting room stops. Never try to return stolen goods to Kohlâs, because they try to flag the serial numbers of stolen merchandise. LP will enter the fitting room cubicle next to a suspected lifter, and will listen for any suspicious noises. Door alarms are very sensitive, so be careful. Company policy encourages LP not to make stops based ONLY on a door alarm being triggered. Issues large Civil Demands, and will report these to collection agencies. Kohlâs, however, cannot enforce a Civil Demand.
Kroger: Decent LP, who often pose as shelf stockers, and will trail people who conceal merchandise. Kroger tends to case-build on known lifters. Cameras are monitored most of the time, but are sometimes turned off around closing time.One of the harder grocery stores.
Lacoste: (Medium Difficulty) Employees are usually on the lookout for less savvy shoplifters that may try and conceal on sales floor so make sure you are not concealing on the sales floor. Lacoste stores also sometimes limit the amount of people that are allowed inside the store at a time so it is easier to keep employees from being overwhelmed and a shoplifting incident to occur. If you are going to shoplift here make sure to detag and conceal in the dressing room. Lacoste uses pencil tags but not everything is tagged so if you need to detag you will need a strong magnet to remove these but beware some Lacoste stores are known to use magnet detecting towers so keep a lookout for short glass see through towers usually placed in front of regular EAS towers.
Lord and Taylor: Employees are encouraged to chase and are given incentives for preventing shoplifting. L&T usually will issue a large civil demand and f**k up your credit score in the process, but they will prosecute if it is an exceptionally large theft, or if people are hurt or threatened. Be cautious.
Lowes: Similar to Home Depot, but with less LP. Cameras are usually monitored, especially over the board cutting and cord cutting areas. This is to protect them from lawsuits if someone injures themselves.
Lush: Lush is usually busy which can be either a help or a hindrance to lifters. There are no tags or door alarms, and the front desk is often far ways from the door. There is usually one or two chasers and at least one employee giving demonstrations on the sales floor. Iâm not sure about the camera situation, but I know if caught they will ban you, but wonât usually even try to get the products back because the bath bombs and such probably canât be resold after having left the store.
Macyâs: Quite hard. Often has large teams of LP in store ranging in size from two to as many as ten. Company policy demands that LP follow the 5 steps to make an apprehension. Cameras are fairly good, and are always being monitored. Head LP managers have access to store cameras even off duty, and will call police if alarms are triggered after closing time. Always chases (incentives are given to employees), and sometimes they prosecute, and sometimes they issue civil demands - no policy determines which they do.
Martinâs: Not to hard. They have considerably less LP and general anti theft measures that Kroger. Cameras are almost always actively monitored because Martinâs has large management teams at every store.
Meijers: Will chase. Usually they wonât employ dedicated LP, but they will have someone monitoring cameras most of the time.
Mervyns: Dangerous store that will chase, ban, and prosecute. Cameras are always monitored.
Michaelâs: Beginner level store. At more urban stores, expensive art pencils and markers are locked up, but many stores donât bother. Spray paint is always locked up. Cameras arenât monitored unless to investigate ORC. Employees are located at the framing counter which is near the main offices, so keep that in mind. Blind spots are numerous. Easy as pie.
Michael Korâs: Probably the easiest designer boutique. Staff is very dedicated, and treats customers well. If they think you may be lifting, they wonât hesitate to call police and or mall security and stall you until they arrive. Not many bags are usually on display, so theft is noticed extremely quickly. If you must lift from there (they do have BEAUTIFUL bags and wallets) get in and get out.
Moncler (OUTLET): (Hard difficulty) Cameras are actively monitored but similar to the Burberry Outlet this store uses Sensormatic SuperTags. Ammount of items going into the dressing room are not counted though so feel free to try and conceal in the dressing room.
Nike: Usually strict about theft. Cameras are few, but store managers sometimes monitor them. Tagging is frequent. They might chase, but will try to get a license plate number and will always call police.
Nordstrom: Dangerous, but not impossible. They have dedicated LP, and regular staff get bonuses for reporting shoplifters. They will chase you usually, but will usually have police waiting. Nordstrom case builds for shoplifting, so donât return to the same store planning to lift. Cameras are numerous and are actively monitored. Glass cases containing designer wallets and things are usually able to be opened and only appear locked. Staff wonât confront you for opening the case (according to my cousin who has worked there for 9 months). Be careful.
Office Depot/Max: Varies depending on the store. Stores considered âlow shrinkâ are easy to lift from, due to lax security. Their cameras are not monitored, and there are no LP. However, âhigh shrinkâ stores are quite different. In these stores, the sales lead will dispatch an employee to approach each customer within seconds of them walking in the door. If they think you are suspicious, they will not leave your side, no matter what. Donât attempt to lift if youâre being tailed in this manner. The cleaning supplies aisle is usually the best blindspot. Some items are spider wrapped. Many things have an RFID tag in them such as headphones, and fine writing pens. These tags are always stuck to the inside of the box. Itâs easy to tell, because the box will have been resealed with scotch tape.
Old Navy: Easiest of all the GAP Inc. Stores. Staff usually doesnât care, and most are not on the sales floor. Dressing rooms are usually messy which makes it easy to conceal. Stealing shoes from Old Navy is easier because there are no shoe boxes. LP exists regionally in urban areas. Cameras are usually actively monitored. Will generally chase, ban, and call police.
Pet-Co: Cameras are usually only located near the front of the store. No LP, and cameras arenât actively monitored. Management only cares about preventing internal theft because pet stores generally have low shrinkage. Employees wonât chase, and many wonât even call police.
PetSmart: Generally the same as Pet-Co. PetSmart holds a lot of dog training classes, so these are good times to lift. Cameras are sometimes reviewed at the end of the day (per company policy) but this rarely happens, especially in small stores.
Polo Ralph Lauren (OUTLET): : (MEDIUM DIFFICULTY) Similar to Tommy Hilfiger you should never conceal on floor and instead conceal in the dressing rooms to avoid problems with LP. Based on research i have done not all Polo stores monitor cameras but just to be safe DO NOT conceal on sales floor. Polo uses hard ink tags so make sure to use magnets to remove them. Polo Outlets in the US do not have magnet detecting towers so feel safe to bring your detachers to remove tags from clothing.
Rite Aid: âLittle to no lp unless it becomes a major problem such as repeated lifts of alcohol or electronics. Most cameras are fake. Not actively monitored. Poorly trained staff and managers. Store policy is not to stop suspected lifters but it varies store to store. My moms old manager was a hard ass and tacked more than one person with no repercussions. He has since retired and her new manager has a no confrontation policy. They will however build a case. They got one lady who had been stealing wine bottles for 3 months. They call police and will take further legal action. Multiple blind spots even if cameras are active.if you spot the manager out of the office 99% of the time that means nobody is watching cameras. And even if the manager is in the office they are usually overworked and underpayed so its no issue usually.â
Ross: Medium difficulty. They have limited LP, but cameras are usually monitored by one employee with radio contact to the managers. They will often simply ban shoplifters, and wonât call police if they get their merchandise back.
Safeway: Can be one of the more difficult grocery stores. Cameras are of decent quality, and are usually being watched. If electricity to the store is cut, the cameras will continue to record using a separate backup generator. LP is regional and rotates around stores with high shrinkage. Most stores in wealthier areas can go several months without a visit from district LP.
Samâs Club: Same as Costco, but a little easier. They can be fairly easy to lift from if you conceal well and move fast. If youâre not obviously carrying anything, the receipt checker will let you pass.
Sears: Sears has cut back on LP, but still has LP agents in almost every store. LP that is there is highly trained. Sears will sometimes âbaitâ people into lifting. Some stores don;t have tower alarms. Cameras are always monitored. Sears will chase, and usually prosecute, but might issue a Civil Demand if you cooperate with their LP.
Sephora: Dangerous. Has very good LP and PTZ cameras. They will always have at least 2 or 3 agents in the store, not including plainclothes. They will chase, call police, and issue civil demands. If employees or customers are hurt, threatened, or if excessive amounts are stolen, they will prosecute. Civil Demand notices come with 1-2 year trespass orders (this applies to all Sephoraâs except those in JCP or Macyâs).
Sheetz: One of the easier convenience stores to lift from. Cameras exist, but are generally not being monitored, except in the aftermath of large thefts or robberies. There are always at least two or three employees behind the counter. Most stocking is done late at night or after closing, so employees usually stay behind the counter unless theyâre cleaning a machine. They wonât call police unless thereâs a robbery. If an employee sees you shoplifting, oftentimes they tell you just to never come back. Quite easy.
Spencerâs: Difficulty varies. Most stores have decent low hanging cameras, but they arenât usually being watched. They use a lot of ink tags on clothing items. Spencerâs keeps most expensive items such as sex toys in the back of the store, or on high shelves where you need to get employee assistance to reach. When lifting at Spencerâs, have an idea of what you want, and get in and out in under 10 minutes.
Staples: Very easy. Older stores have very wide aisles, and mostly fake cameras. Newer stores have shorter, narrower aisles and have real cameras. There are almost never any employees looking at cameras, and there are no real LP efforts to speak of. Employees will congregate near the main door if they see someone concealing, and they might follow at a distance. If you see two or more employees standing directly at the door, DUMP THE GOODS, and leave.
Stop & Shop: Surprisingly a difficult store. They use decent LP, and lots of decent quality cameras that are constantly monitored. They will almost always prosecute and rarely issue Civil Demand notices. Chase policy depends on the store, but they usually will chase or apprehend past the POS.
Sunglass Hut: No LP, and cameras arenât actively monitored in mall stores. Glasses are almost all tagged, and employees are told not to leave customers alone in the store with merchandise. Regional managers will often investigate ORC and noticeable shrinkage reported in inventory.
Target: Notoriously hard. Cameras are extremely numerous and are very high quality. Some can PTZ. LP are extremely dedicated, and regular staff are given bonuses or incentives for reporting shoplifting to LP. Target will always chase, call police, ban, or rarely issue a Civil Demand notice. Donât lift from Target. They will basically take what you stole and shove it up your ass. Also, Target case builds and shares known lifter info with other stores, so they can get you up to a felony amount before contacting police.
Things Remembered: Laughably easy. Most stores lack security cameras and those with them are never monitored. The large engraving station is in the back, so if your location has cameras, assume someone is near them. Staff donât usually care and will stay at the desk. No LP at all. Mostly the company cares about preventing ORC. Concealing is easy as long as youâre in a blind spot from the cashier desk. Their items are expensive and are never tagged. Have fun.
Tommy Hilfiger: (Medium Difficulty) Avoid Concealing on floor because LP situation is unknown. Make sure to conceal in dressing room instead of floor to avoid problems with LP. I believe they probably just check cameras after a shoplift incident is reported. Clothes do not have hard tags but do have soft tags stitched on to the âRemove before washingâ paper. Make sure to remove them before walking out to avoid setting off alarms.
Toys R Us: Store management may act as LP, and cameras are sometimes actively monitored. Company policy is to not detain parents who are with children under 8. (Regardless of if the child or parent is the lifter). They will usually call police, and may prosecute if they canât get their stuff back. No specific LP personnel.
Tuesday Morning: Doesnât chase, will prosecute, and will ban. Always calls police. There are no dedicated LP, but the company likes to hire former LP from other stores as managers in their stores.
Ulta: Difficulty varies. Stores in malls are usually harder because they often request their storefront to be near the mall security office. Freestanding stores are easier, but staff with call police, and usually issue a Civil Demand but sometimes prosecute. Cameras are PTZ and are almost always monitored. Many items are tagged.
Vans: Staff are usually pretty dedicated, and will offer aggressive customer service to suspected lifters. Vans usually calls mall security, and lets them determine whether or not to call police. Cameras are usually in most stores, but are monitored after a theft is noticed.
Virginia Diner Shoppe: Like taking candy from a baby. Large shelves and fairly expensive products make this a nice place to snatch some gifts for the ladies in your life.
Walmart: Poor LP, whose budget and resources have been slashed in recent years. LP efficiency can range from store to store, but it is often easier to lift from Walmarts in higher income areas. Walmart will almost always chase, and will often prosecute. Company policy is not to prosecute under $25, but this is usually left up to the store or district manager. Staff sometimes, but rarely act as LP. Cameras are always actively monitored, but camera quality isnât the best, and a cone blindspot exists directly under most cameras because they canât tilt.
Walgreens: Wonât chase, but will prosecute. No employees are dedicated solely to LP/AP, but store managers can act as LP at their own discretion. Employees are encouraged to try to get plate numbers by looking through windows. Police can be called after the fact. Cameras arenât usually monitored, but the employee break area is near the cameras, and the manager can access the camera feed through his computer (at newer locations).
Wawa: These stores have some exits away from the cashiers desk, which makes them easier to steal from. Cameras are sometimes monitored, but when the store is busy, they usually arenât being watched. Cashiers may yell to lifters who have left the store, and will sometimes try for a license plate number. Oftentimes they will leave cartons of cigarettes out on top of the checkout desks. Good place to try to lift smokes, for those of you who use tobacco!
Wegmanâs: Easiest grocery store. Despite being a MASSIVE store, cameras are few. Many employees work in the store, but are often too busy to even help regular customers. Someone is always watching the cameras, but the only LP that is always used is managers doing sweeps of the store, or near suspected lifters. Exiting through the market cafe is best, but watch out for employees coming in and out of the catering office. Wegmanâs wonât chase (usually), but may call police, and will ban. Wegmanâs does a lot of charity work, and if caught, you can sometimes get away by apologizing profusely, and saying youâre hungry and are having trouble feeding your family. They almost always will give you a few small food items and some coupons and let you leave.
Zumiez: Typically doesnât have cameras, and they are never being monitored. There is usually an employee near the skate stuff near the back room, so pay attention to where they are and where they go. Sales counters are usually far from the door, so you will have extra time to get away if someone notices you. Most hats are tagged, and certain stores will tag shirts, pants, or Herschel bags. Staff wonât chase, and are slow in calling mall security. No LP, except regional managers who will pop in occasionally, or whom are called in. Staff are generally friendly, but are too busy texting and kicking around, so they wonât do much if they suspect you of lifting. Theyâre supposed to wait until youâve left the store, and then they will send your description to security.
7-Eleven: Small stores, usually with a few employees. Cameras arenât being monitored, but the highest ranking employee in the store has access to them. If youâre sealing alcohol they will usually phone the police. They may try to get your license plate number, but they generally wonât do much unless youâre causing a disturbance.
