sus masterlist

Heres a list of things to avoid that look sus! (compiled from many other posts and lp reddit)

Getting out of the car and putting on a backpack

Covering your face as you walk in the door

Walking quickly

Looking at people, not merchandise / noticing every person who walks by

Carrying a large bag

Looking at people instead of looking for a cart when they first walk in the building.

Selecting a hiding item (trash can, tote, large box) and placing it in the cart before going to a high theft area

Women who put their purses in the top of the cart and leave them open. Then when they select, some things go into the basket and some go next to the purse.

Bragging to your friends

Out of season clothing (sweatshirts to body-pack in the winter etc.)

Sunglasses

Backpacks

Red dyed hair

Stroller with two bags

Hoodies on especially if the drawstrings are pulled

Carrying a receipt

Going in circles

Leaning on the cart when pushing it (elbows on cart to look relaxed but has a stiff back)

Going to the bathroom multiple times

Touching your face allot

Covering your mouth (sign of anxiety)

Looking around the store at an abnormal rate

Being surprised when an SA approaches you

Removing hangers from clothing and leaving those hangers on the rack.

Hanging around blind spot areas too much

Groups of teenagers

Picking items w/o even looking at prices

If they came inside the store on foot (walked instead of drove)

Walking with TOO much confidence / a cocky demeanor

happylifting

I don’t know if I agree with the leaving hangers on the rack bit, my mom does that, my friends do, a lot of people do that. if you’re doing everything right (not doing any of the things above) this really isn’t that huge of a red flag.

Biggest piece of advice I can give is to THINK LIKE A NORMAL SHOPPER. Normal shoppers look at prices, they pick things up. they read ingredients. they compare items. they sometimes ask for help. they aren’t afraid of conversation with employees.

be careful lovelies 🥰

things not to say to your lifter friends

- “can you steal this for me?”

- “...wait, what do you mean you want me to pay you for it?”

- “why does it matter? it’s not like you spent money on it!”

- “omg, can i borrow your tag-detacher thingy?”

- “i know i said i wanted to go lifting but now i’m too anxious. what? no i’m not dumping my stuff, can’t you just conceal and leave with all my things too?”

- (in store) “i’m gonna talk as LOUDLY AS POSSIBLE and use words like STEALING and SHOPLIFTING without regard for employees and other shoppers”

- “what do you mean you can’t steal that for me? can’t you just shove it in your bag?”

- (to person you’ve never met) “yeah she’s a KLEPTO haha!!!”

- (sees you conceal something on floor) “what are you doing? STEALING?!?”

Stop!!! Lifting!!! With people around! Lift alone for the most success. You only have yourself and your actions to worry about when you're alone. If you make any missteps, you have the ability to think more clearly and adjust your methods, see where you went wrong. Don't be surprised if you get caught when you bring your whole clique or even one extra friend with you.

💘 My top 15 lifting tips 💘

NEVER go back to the same place twice. If someone saw you, they’ll keep an eye out, and if it’s the same day they’ll remember you.

Never go for a backpack unless you’re keeping it to fill up in between lifts. Totes and handbags are better.

Make a list before you go. This way you won’t forget necessities and won’t be tempted to go back to the same store again.

Dress the part. No hoodies or tracksuits in dark colours, no hoods up. Staff with tell each other to keep an eye on you if you’re dressed like this.

If you have a magnet and/or hook. Make sure you’re confident with using it. Don’t stress. Magents can be hidden inside a keychain to make them less obvious. Make sure you don’t drop it otherwise ur screwed.

Make sure you know the store. If you’re going somewhere I haven’t been before check it out by googling the store, or looking at the location on Instagram. There will be pictures of the layout.

Don’t shout or laugh too loudly. SA’s will be drawn to this. Feel free to make subtle comments about the products though, you’ll seem more interested and a genuine buyer.

Go lifting on a weekday, lower amount of staff, who will be very tired since it’s during the week and they probably haven’t had a day off.

Make up code words / phrases. For example, if you think an SA if onto you say “my grandads in the hospital right now”, if you need to leave say “my grandads passed away”, if you need to borrow the magnet / hook, tell you’re buddy to “pass the keys”. You get the idea.

If you do get caught. Apologise immediately, cry, do whatever it takes to make them let you go sooner. Make up a dumb excuse, but never be rude to the security dude.

Don’t get too greedy!! Take what you need, and if you’re thinking about boosting, you’re gonna get a profit no matter how many things you take.

Try to conceal as you’re walking around the shop. If you stop and start fumbling around in your bag it’s gonna be wayyy more obvious. When concealing larger items make sure you’re in a blind spot.

Make sure you’re calm. If you’re Wiccan, or not, use a protection spell (personally I do lol) and if you smoke, have a cigarette before lifting. These methods will calm any nerves.

Make sure you have a way out FAST. If you drive park your car away from the shops, but still within a fast walking distance. Or take the bus.

Change up your appearance. Dye your hair every so often. Cut a fringe and clip it back. Change your outfit style. A lot of lifters say to not go back to a store without leaving it at least 2 weeks. Personally I think a week is fine as long as you go on different days, there’s gonna be different staff.

LIFT TIP!!!

Recently sent this to someone and thought it would be helpful for all of the babylifters. Some people may not like this because this post is going to be very superficial but it is going to be very helpful.

When approaching any store, from Saks to Walmart; how you present yourself is key. How are you dressed? Do you look like someone who spends their weekends on grandfather’s Yacht in Martha’s Vineyard? Or do you look like someone who shops clearance at dollar tree. Are you walking with an air of confidence, like you should be there? Or are you walking around like youve just committed murder?

When you dress bad, people automatically see you as inferior, which therefor makes them think that you don’t have money. Money to spend on the items in their store. Now I’m not saying to wear a prom dress to Old Navy, but I am saying to dress to impress. Sundays best or meeting your boyfriend’s parents for the first time attire is the best way to go. Its conservative, and elevated. Expensive clothes =/= class. So just because you wear an 80$ tshirt to Saks does not mean youre good to go. You want to look like youre above that. You dont want to come off as a nouveau riche teen who just bought [or lifted] their first Balenciaga tee. You want to look like a woman who wears quality clothes, and doesnt care about the label or the price attached to it. Even if you do want to wear the tee, dont wear it lifting. As for the amount of cleavage/ass you want to show, it is best to note that the more you show, the more likely LP will watch you on the cams. Hot chick with her tits out! Far out! You also dont want to look like an escort, or cheap. So covering up will definitely not bring you unwanted attention when lifting. Anything that draws attention is bad. So wear a wig if you have colored hair, and if you dress goth, save it for another time. This is all about blending in. A safe person to look to for fashion in the lifting world is Princess Diana, Megan Markle, Victoria Beckham, Emma Watson, Amal Clooney, etc. Shoes are also a dead giveaway of someone’s wealth. So dont wear brown converse that were white when you first bought them.

Now that youre dressed the part, you need to act the part. Like wearing work boots with a chanel dress, the same goes for dressing the part but not having the confidence that you need to lift. People in general can instantly spot someone who does not have confidence. So even if you cant afford what youre lifting, you need to be acting like you do. Having a hunched back, looking side to side, and avoiding SAs is a major red flag for associates. Make sure to check price tags, act like youre thinking about buying something.

Lets play a game. Youre an SA at Victoria’s Secret. You have two guests walk in. One is put together, has a smile on her face, a glow to her you cant describe, and walks like shes on top of the world. Her clothes are ironed, her hair is styled, and her makeup isnt flashy. She walks from one thing to another, checking prices, seeing whats cute, nothing fishy. The other girl walks in with greasy hair, a frightened/ strange look on her face. Shes wearing a faded old tshirt, and holey jeans with a mysterious stain on the left ass cheek. Her makeup is cakey, and her overall appearance is off. When she walks in she immediately grabs a shopping bag and beelines to the most expensive bras in the store. Who are you less likely to think is going to lift something? Not the girl who looks like Miss America. How you present yourself to the world, is how the world is going to judge you. Youre more likely to follow around the strange girl, her mere existence is something worth watching. “Who is she? What is she doing in here? There goes 2…3…5 panties into her shopping bag. I’d best help her into the dressing room.”

Now I know we all want to live in a fantasy world where looks dont matter. But this isnt a game were playing. If you are over 18 you can go to jail for this. So it is imperative to take precaution when doing this and to walk on the safe side. So in this, looks do matter. How you carry yourself matters. Look in the mirror before leaving your house to lift. Would you be sus if you saw yourself at a store?

As always, please message me if you have any questions about lifting/sugaring.

How To Guide

My friend, who is now on lïftblr, and I have been working together for some time. Instead of telling them all of this in person, I’d rather make this post public for all newbies or maybe people who need a reminder.

General Apperance:

I’d say about half the job is acting the part. You need to LOOK and FEEL innocent. To trick yourself into thinking you’re doing nothing wrong.

You can’t look like you’re doing something wrong. Don’t dress sketchy, don’t look sketchy, and sound sketchy. Don’t walk in with your hood on. Dress how men or women usually dress. Blend in. If you’re black, sadly you will be a target more often. Lean away from “ghetto” fashion and if you get caught, I’ve heard of people getting away with claiming the race card. It’s up to you if you think it will work in your situation.

Anyways, here are a few pointers you can see as a general guideline.

Don’t wear all black

Dress nice, but not too nice

Don’t wear too many bright colors. Neutral is best most of the time

LP look for those big black structured bags. Try using a wallet to hide things under or a more neutral bag

LP also look at teens (especially groups) so if possible, go alone. Make yourself look older.

Dress like you belong there. If you’re going into hot topic, pop in your piercings and wear all black with that MCR shirt. If you’re going into old navy that blue jean skirt and button up will be great

Behavior:

For behavior, the “Don’t look/feel sketchy” is really important. Here are a few tips.

Don’t immediately walk to something and grab it. Shop around

Shop your way over to what you want

Don’t look for/at cameras. Find out the blind spots before you go. Look up but only with your eyes and use mirrors/your phone camera to check

Don’t conceal and immediately run out. If it’s an emergency, fake a phone call and pretend it’s urgent. “Wait..is she okay? When?”

Don’t avoid staff. If they are SAing you then drop your shit and leave. If they ask you if you need help don’t say “oh I’m just looking.” Say, “no I know what I’m looking for. I just got distracted.”

Don’t walk around quickly or too slowly

Look NORMAL. You’re not doing anything wrong, remember?

I tend to make a different personality for myself when I plan to “obtain” something unless I’m with friends. More outgoing and assertive. A law abiding citizen with some time to waste or a birthday to catch. It helps

Friends:

Going out with friends? Don’t. But if they too are participanting, here are some guidelines.

Don’t be loud and obnoxious

Still follow the dress and behavior points the best you can

Look out for each other. Set of codes like “what time is it” means there is an SA and “how’s your cat” is there is a camera

Set up your own guidelines. For instance, me and my friend know that if one gets caught, the other pretends they knew nothing and they don’t admit to anything unless someone shows them proof

Your partner should know the laws in your area and shouldn’t be cocky. Neither should you

Things To Avoid:

Talking about lïftîng in store/parking lot

Taking your stuff out in the parking lot

Whispering

Concealing on camera

Letting people see you conceal (they may decide to tell on you)

Leaving hangers

Leaving visible tags

And thats it! I hope this helped. If you have any questions, feel free to leave an ask! My ask box and DMs are always open 💗💕 bye!!

Theft prevention: 100

heavenlylifter

heey im somewhat new at lifting and i haven't lifted with a magnet yet, and i was thinking about buying one, but the only thing is i'm worried that it will trigger alarms. Am i just being silly and overreacting? what should i do to conceal a magnet and prevent alarms? Love your blog btw!

I think your concerns are perfectly valid! Magnet detectors are a thing, but they aren’t very common in general - I don’t know where you live, but they seem to be slightly more prevalent in the USA than the UK.Magnet detectors look like clear glass security towers. They are often thinner than regular towers. Some make a noise, some just flash a light. As their reach covers a good portion of the area around them, you can’t, say, hold your magnet above your head to sneak it past the towers. There’s no material I know of that can block it from being sensed.You can’t shield a magnet from being sensed at all.The first part of any lïfting experience should be to scope out the target store, so I recommend bringing your magnet along on the first or second visit. Conceal it on-body and see if the towers react. Try to walk in with a group to avoid being singled out. Its risky, and I’m only recommending this because I’ve done it before with no consequence - sometimes it’s the only way to tell. Don’t lîft when you do this. Concealing on-body will save you if you get stopped at the door and asked to open your bag, as they can’t exactly ask you to strip if you have no stölen goods. This visit will show you if they have magnet detectors and whether they are functional. I recommend not bringing your magnet there again if the towers react. Also, you can google your target store and look at pictures of it to see if it has magnet detectors. If you can spot magnet detectors without entering the store, don’t bother endangering yourself by bringing your magnet past them pls!The stores I know that sometimes have magnet detectors are Màcy’s, Nördstrom, Amèrican Eàgle, Förever 21, and Ûrban Öutfitters. Keep in mind that not all branches have magnet detectors, only a few!In conclusion: your fears are warranted and you can’t hide magnets from magnet detectors, but as long as you scope your stores out and treat lïfting with the caution it requires you should be perfectly fine!Sincerely, a loving and devoted magnet-owner❤️😊

Can I just say that magnet detectors don’t HAVE to be separate units? Many stores do this deliberately to serve as a deterrent to ORC groups, but they can be fitted into existing towers without problem:

scuse my yaoi hands but heres how 2 wrap a tag in foil. depending on the tag i either put the slit in lengthwise or like in the vid i usually have a couple of both in my bag. theyre aprox 3 x 6 inches and you can have it overlap twice usually which is more than enough also idk if you really caught it in the vid either but i put the slit in behind the pin just so that its easier to wrap but tbh it doesnt matter since the pin doesnt set the towers off

princesss-lifter-blog

@stolenmerch does this work for all tags???

stolenmerch-deactivated20160917

yea pretty much. idk how well it would work on alarm tags or spider wraps though but it seems like the same way. also it would be kind of hard to wrap one of those big black domey tags but i gues it if you started wrapping on the other side of the pin through the fabric it would work. ive never actually seen those irl though so i wouldnt know

stealyprincess

what purpose does this serve? is it so you can like. safely smash it off or smtg in ur own home?

stolenmerch-deactivated20160917

it disrupts the sensor so you dont have to have a magnet or a hook to “remove” tags. then yea you smash it off at home

blog-prettygirlposts-us

thank you thank you thank you for this

I used this multiple times yesterday and it went perfect!

I want to tell other lifters though that I think this would qualify as the same severity as using a booster bag if you are caught with this. But it is so helpful, especially since I broke my hook last week. Thank you again guys!

I saw this a few months ago and barely found it again

bigmagnetenergy

conquered sephora lol

the SA’s didn’t even greet me and never bothered me once I felt like i was being tested but i’ve literally never been to this store before so i knew they weren’t sus or anything ???

didn’t quite rob them blind and i still need to figure out how to conceal bigger items like palletes bc i rlly want the more neutral colored abh pallete (forgot the name) also I really wanna complete my drûnk eléphænt skincare collection but the moisturizer and cleanser are larger than i can currently comfortably lÿft ugh

if you find yourself unable to think about anything but your next lift, you can’t concentrate in school or at work because you’re thinking about lifting, or it feels impossible to go a few days without grabbing something, anything, even if it isn’t something you actually want—it’s time to take a break

let me say that again. if lifting has become your whole life, you need to take a break. right now. log out of liftblr, pick up a new hobby. take a break until you can walk in and out of a store that has nothing you would ever use and not feel the itch to lift “just because you can”
