@sh0pplifvter
been some time huh? hope you are all alright!! since lockdown started almost a year ago i really lost all confidence in borrowing. in 2020 i don’t think i even got over £100 worth in items whereas before i was doing that in a day!! i think i need to reteach myself everything haha.
it’s so nice to see this page is still active.
i wish everyone the best and will try keep posting more
pov: you are me being an idiot and lifting in an alternative outfit that really sticks out
i have a dyed mohawk and wear platform boots among other sus bullshit. i’m the poster child for a shoplifter, and i am FOREVER impressed that i’ve never been caught.
!!!
Rob the Wàlmart. Tip the waitstaff with what you saved. 🥰🤝
i’m bitches
info on my booster bag
hey liftblr!
if you remember this post i made a little while back, you might be aware that i recently purchased a “faraday bag” meant for protecting your mobile phone/tablet (product linked here) from radio signals used to extract/plant data. my intent was to use it as a booster bag, and i figured i would give you all a little update on how that’s worked out for me, since a few people seem interested & i think it could help other lifters!
first things first, here are the dimensions of the bag:
(the bag itself, with a regular hook tag for scale)
(here it is when it’s folded—it’s about 1.5” thick. i fold it and usually shove it down the back of my jeans so it rests against my back. paired with a loose sweater over it, it’s actually pretty hard to spot.)
you can fit a REALLY decent amount of tags inside this thing, though it does get harder to fold the more are inside. i would estimate, while folded, it can comfortably fit 10-15 tags without getting too bulky. if you stuffed the thing with disregard for bulkiness, i’d approximate you could easily fit 40-50+ tags inside, maybe more. i got the tablet size* for 70 USD, and while it is pricey, i’m really pleased!
*they also sell a cell phone size for 50 USD, which is a good deal smaller, but i’m sure you could still fit a few tags inside, and it would also be easier to conceal on-person.
i’ve tested it at the following stores, and been able to pass through the entrance* (with tags inside) incident free:
- although not a store, it worked on my iphone, lol. putting it inside makes it unable for calls or texts to get through, and when you bring the phone out, there are a few seconds before the phone “pings” with a tower that you can see it still reads “no cellular service available.”
- forever 21
- pacsun
- lululemon
- sephora**
- urban outfitters
- h&m**
- aerie
- aeropostale
- victoria’s secret/PINK***
*while i can’t concretely verify that all these stores actually had towers/working towers at that, i know for certain that the towers at urban outfitters worked, as well as the ones at VS/PINK. i did my testing at a relatively upscale mall, so i would assume all stores would be adequately prepared with LP measures like working towers.
**i did not conceal tags directly from these stores, but the tags i had on my person from other stores did not create an incident at these places.
***this one is a bit of a special case. i walked into the VS side of the store with tags concealed in my booster bag and the towers did NOT go off—i know for a fact they were working, however, because a woman beeped on her way out (and subsequently, an SA searched her bag). however, upon leaving the PINK side of the store with tags from PINK/VS inside my bag, i did beep. more on this down below.
here are the types of tags i’ve found success with concealing in my bag & walking out with:
top left: clam tag from UO
top right: ink tag from F21/pacsun
bottom left: hook tag from lululemon
bottom right: hook tag from A&F
now, here are the tags that may have given me a problem:
i believe all of these are from VS/PINK, though i’m not entirely certain on the tag with the wire. these tags were the ones i added to my bag while inside of the VS/PINK, and subsequentially the ones that must have made me beep. upon entering a kate spade store with the same assortment of tags in my bag, i also beeped on both entry and exit.
my lifter friend (who was there at the time) and i tried to brainstorm reasons why these tags might have made me beep. note that we made sure i hadn’t left any tags/hidden RFIDs in my purse or on the merchandise i had concealed on my person. here’s what we were able to come up with (keep in mind that neither of us know jack shit about the science behind radio signals and whatnot):
- it’s possible that one or more of the tags in the picture above uses a frequency that was not blocked by the bag? i believe this would be possible if one of the tags used a radio frequency <600MHz or >5 GHZ. just gonna put it out there that i have no ideas what those numbers mean, but on the website, that‘s the range of frequencies the bag claims to block. the same case could be made with other kinds of signals the website lists that have some kind of range associated with them.
- again, just putting it out there that i have NO IDEA how radio signals or otherwise work, but maybe the amount of tags in my bag created a combined signal strength that overwhelmed the bag? i don’t even know if signals can do that, but if they can that might be an explanation. after i started beeping, we went back to my lifter friend’s car and ditched all of the tags inside the bag before continuing (cautiously) lifting. for the rest of the day, we were careful to ditch tags as frequently as possible to limit the number inside the bag, just in case this theory had any connection to why i beeped.
that’s all the information i can give you about my bag. overall, i’m SUPER pleased with how it’s working out for me—i’ve been able to steal upwards of $1300 worth of merchandise with it so far, so the cost of the bag was money well-spent. even with the rouge beep at VS, i would say i have confidence in the bag for use while lifting. although i do still have to stay vigilant whenever i pass through towers, you should ALWAYS be alert, booster bag or not, when you leave a store, and never assume that you won’t beep.
i hope this post could help some people out—and if anyone has some kind of knowledge that could concretely explain the beeping incident at VS/PINK, it would be much appreciated (for me, and anyone else who uses any kind of booster bag).
happy lifting :)
it’s good to see an informative post about booster bags when practically none exist!☺️✨ from what i understand of the way tags work (not a huge amount, admittedly), tags can’t overcome a faraday cage like a booster bag with their combined frequency strength. this is because they all work independently, so their frequencies can’t be combined to create some sort of super frequency to get through the bag. like you said, it seems most likely that one of the tags you took with you was just very strong and overwhelmed the capabilities of the bag. hope this makes sense, it took me a few tries to describe it right😅😅✨
not a fan of ready to glares video today. what are your thoughts?
i didn’t lift anything in the month of march if i remember correctly. obviously with miss rona around i haven’t been able to go out cause of lockdown and basically everything besides supermarkets being closed, i’m not lifting during lockdown because i’m aware people genuinely need things and i don’t want to take something someone who is elderly or less well off than me would need. i’ve actually had to use money and it’s so gross lmaoo. anyway i hope everyone is being safe and listening to the instructions your government has put out. if usually say fuck the government but this time it’s for everyone’s safety. please stay inside if you can and don’t meet up with people. you may think nothing will happen but things like this are just going to make this worse and last longer. again, stay safe
guys please be careful at the moment
supermarkets in the uk are now being made to limit the numbers they let in at a time meaning if you are lifting and the towers beep for any reason you WILL be stopped and searched - i saw it happen twice today
also, because there are less people in the shops at a time the ratio of lp + sa's to customers are wayyyy up.
i know all of us are impatient and want to lift asap but please i'm saying it's not a good idea. wait until things are more settled.
lifting right now could mean the more vulnerable and elderly are unable to get what they need meaning it could actually be effecting people who need the stuff more.
you can still scam people online ect but please just be extra careful, nows a perfect time to practice concealing techniques ect so that when everything is back to normal, you will be a better lifter for it.
pls be safe, and stay inside <3
repost into community hehe

UK lifting
my personal experiences of working in different retail stores and having friends in retail etc and lifting a lottt.
river island: just don’t fuck w it, their cameras are streamed live to a company who are paid to sit and watch and radio over if they see anything, very attentive fitting rooms. everything is tagged but I’ve lifted afew purses from there because they must of forgot to tag them or just put them out.
primark: no tags, but 1 security always on door, a lot of staff, and 2/3 people watch screens upstairs, like their security is mad loads of different people running round to take ur picture etc (took an umbrella when I was 12 but that’s another story lol)
boots: plain clothed LPs, one I spoke to was a fat bold man in jeans and a football tshirt, afew things sticker tagged (idk the proper name) but easy to peel off, when they have new perfume out they are never tagged, watch out for sticker tags in expensive items, had one in a smashbox palette. sometimes have security on door but doesn’t move around store, ive had a LP follow me round before dressed in jeans and a leather jacket and he was young and hot and on his phone but I seen a walkie talkie in his back pocket.
pull&bear: same company as Zara so would say the same rules apply. I worked here over Christmas and they stuck me in the fitting rooms most of the time, we had to be very. very. thorough. we had to take clothes of of customers and count them ourselves, anything draping over arms was taken off and we had a scanner where we made them swipe all of there bags they had over them to detect and tags ready to be taken off and magnets. every hour we have to check every room behind mirrors light etc for tags and write down on a sheet how many we find. but, things like jewellery etc or anything on shop floor will be easy, no one watches cctv but staff all wear ear pieces including both managers and stock room and communicate anything through that then we would cs the fuck out of the person, also had a code of we seen someone conceal something it was a girls name idk what say it was sally you’d say “sally is over by the shoes”
victoria secret: way too easy, staff are just young girls who are too busy tidying the constant mess, ½ cameras, pairs of pants aren’t tagged only expensive things bras etc but always find the odd one without a tag. I never conceal in fitting room their too easy to do on shopfloor.
IKEA: I lifted my double bed & it was about £210, just got a load of other things and didn’t scan it as their bagging area doesn’t weigh items (risky but I went for it) loads of blind spots to get little things too.
debenhams: I get a lot and I mean a lot of make up here. nothing is tagged, naked palettes, Mac, too faced, benefit literally nothing. SAs are attentive though as they need to make sales I’ve got 22 too faced mascaras and countless amounts of urban decay and MAC but I have a pretty fool proof trick house of fraser: literally the same as debenhams, different make up concessions I’ve got a lot in there only thing I’ve ever had tagged was a Versace perfume (peeled it off) and a box of Calvin Klein boxers had one fucking magnetic tag in the pair right at the bottoms of the box and I beeped on the way out and had to ditch that pair. john lewis: another one the same as debenhams and house of fraser, most make up is locked up thought literally except from benefit stuff. no perfume/aftershave if tagged tho that’s my go to for perfume. I’ve got 5+ ted baker purses as they always seem to have some untagged.
asda: security are allllways on their phones not watching the screen I swear. at the self check out, pretend to scan at item, press finish & pay, add item in bag and it won’t weight it then just pay for everything else. (King size duvets, £30 I then return them get a £30 gift card for more expensive things I want to lift I then pay with my gift cards)
M&S: idk what there security etc is like I’ve only ever lifted make up, but a lottt, nothing is tagged except testers ?? only ever one SA in make up department and they don’t cs you at all, just need to be sly about it
next: one security guard who just wanders round, no one watched cctv unless they are aware of an incident that’s happened they will review it, tbh the only thing they watch live is their staff, all they care about is being strict on staff not security even tho I knew a lottt of staff that lifted from there. but all clothes are tagged and some expensive shit is double tagged I worked in the stock room and all the tags we used need a hook
lipsy: I was a manager here and we had track suits stolen a lotttttt, we double tagged them but if they had a hook there was literally fuck all i could do as it was literally just me on my own or me and one other staff member on the floor and your not aloud to stick to fitting rooms you have to be mobile and it’s all about making a sale so tbh the dressing rooms are completely unattended (but it was a rly small store)
urban outfitters: I always conceal on shopfloor, dressing rooms are too attentive. I don’t think they have LPs just staff who wear walkie talkies & ear pieces. I will always find a few clothes or underwear that’s not tagged. jewellery & home stuff isn’t normally tagged except the occasional watch.
paperchase: no cameras usually 1 or 2 SA and if it’s busy they’ll both be on the register, a lot of high shelves so easy to conceal without being seen body shop: cameras that cover most of the store as its a big open place, I’ve lifted a lot of little things when it’s been busy it’s it’s quiet I don’t fuck w it cause staff always cs you to death LUSH: no cameras but annoying af sa’s just make sure they don’t see you pick the item up you are concealing just be nice and say you’ve been in here loads of times and don’t need any help and knock yourself out it’s pretty easy Holland and Barrett: either one camera or none, sa’s will sometimes ask if you need any help but not always, most things I tagged expect some expensive medicine but just peel it off and don’t be obviously because it can be loud if they’re stuck on good but I can easily fill my bag there TKMAX: underwear isn’t tagged only clothes. easy to find blind spots as there’s not many cameras, I’ve got a lot of Calvin Klein underwear, make up etc
^ finally updated this. if I missed any stores you wanna know about (probably lifted from everyone in the UK) or anything you’d like help with let me know ❤️

savings: £38
total savings: £363.30
hey guys! sorry for no hauls. i haven’t had any time at all to lift and have just been so on edge with security and cameras in stores. i hope you all respect me taking a break
Sike bitches you fuckin thought that you weren’t getting any more videos today. This one is nice and easy, good for people who don’t want to carry a purse. You just drop ur shit in ur food bag m8. Also it’s good to reach in and pull actual food out to help deter suspicion. THIS IS NOT MY IDEA‼️ I saw a post on this a hot minute ago idk who the person is but if you know give em credit. It was the girl with the Annie’s pretzel bag and it was like two photos, I just decided to make a video.
this is hella smart
