Tips on Getting Stopped, but not Caught

Lifting or not, people get stopped. You’ve probably been stopped before and never thought anything of it. If you get stopped and questioned, act just like you would if you hadn’t lifted a day in your life. Being polite, while feigning "offended" or "confused" is the easiest way to go. Alternatively, you could be b*tch about being hassled but that may not work for you personally or could be perceived as defensive (making it harder to backpeddle.) Find what works for you. Ultimately though in that moment, you are completely innocent by anyone's standards.

Stores that are “hands off” can’t physically stop you and be within policy. Any employee that isn't LP shouldn't be doing anything remotely close to stopping customers. When they do, deal either one of 2 ways; Either hold a receipt and project the impression of complying with their requests by giving them a closed mouth smile and nod while keeping pace, when they want to check a receipt or bags or something else, just act like its exactly what you’d if you weren’t lifting. Otherwise, walk briskly, showing no receipt, and shoot them a bothered look as if to say their accosting you is rude as is their desire to needlessly waste your time. Legally, SA’s and LP CAN NOT physically prevent you from leaving. They aren’t police, they can’t detain you.

If LP is stopping you, they're stopping you for a reason, so there's no point playing polite. When they stop you, they're either formally accusing you of shoplifting or they’re not. Call them out point-blank and ask "Are you accusing me of something?" Look them in the eye, press them for an answer, and don't let them skirt around it. Say "no" to any and all other requests. If they don't give you a straight answer & evade the question with something like "if you let us see your receipt we can clear this up", don't waste time. Say "no thanks" and walk away. If they touch you, treat it as assault . If they’re accusing of lifting, ask them for the details of what they're accusing you of having lifted, or tell them to call the police and WALK THE FUCK AWAY. If they're going to tackle you, they're going to tackle you, nothing you do will change that. Better them getting an assault charge than you getting a theft charge.

Don't get sucked into the game of "follow me" to the side/office, and empty out your bag", don’t let them inspect your belongings or receipt. I read a post by a former LP who said he couldn't believe how people just blindly complied with any LP request; e.g. "empty out your pockets" - they did, "let me see your purse" - "yes sir" then he went on to say "As LP, I repeat, we have no authority. All we can do is ask you and hope for your cooperation. If they had the authority to search you, they wouldn't be asking. They have no more right to inspect you than a private citizen. LP are good a faking authority, and this works most of the time because people fear authority. To get rid of the fear, disassociate LP from authority. They bullshit people and it works as if the police had done it. You can't let them get to you. Stay safe

PLEASE if you go to view a link and it ends up being broken, don’t be afraid to message me and let me know. All posts creds go to post creators/source. Some sections are kind of dry, but I’ll be updating this. If I don’t update please yell at me in my inbox lmao.

Here is the second one these are used at Mìchèæls regularly this one is not that hard either the trick to this one is putting your magnet on the BOTTOM of it not on the little hexagon in front

Have fun my beautiful children

One last thing if you share this from out side the community you’ll catch this block real quick and I’ll make sure other lifters know too if you want to act like a dumb ass and post stuff from out side the community after being told not to do it multiple times you’ll get treated like a dumb ass okay okay

cutelyfter

fast food free

okay so the whole problem w lifting (so I thought) is that u can’t lift food. me and my friend were fucking around doing prank calls. so we called mcdonald’s and said that our *insert whatever u wanna eat* was rlly cold and nasty when we got it so they wrote us on the list to get the order again but for free and said we can come pick it up. We gave them a fake name and they wrote it down so when we pulled up we just said the name and was given our “makeup order”. some ask for reciepts so you might have to try more than once on the phone, but I’ve been able to eat all night this week lmao I feel like it’s important to know in emergencies.

NOTICE

Since tumblr is going to shit, reblog this if you would like a l1fting discord or google doc!

I’d highly recommend discord (mainly because I’m used to it) but reblog with your ideas! If it gets enough notes I can create a group/doc in either of the platforms so we can keep in touch!

liftingmoth

please i love talking with y'all

heavenlylifter

i wouldn’t mind a discord! i think a google doc might be a bit clunky

liftedmood

AHHHHHH THATS TERRIFYING BUT LMAO

but also plz don’t go back for a long ass time

natsulifter

Lmfao I will not but this bitch was really trying me. She was reciting my rights like “you have the right to remain silent” “anything you say can and will be used against you” like bitch you’re an SA with no walkie talkie and she couldn’t even chase after me BC she was morbidly obese. Like nah bitch you have the fuckin right to suck on my fat toes you don’t try that shit w me. The only reason I gave her back the merch was to make a statement of rudely shoving it in her hands before taking off. Reciting my rights my ass. Smh 🤦🏽‍♀️

Guys!!! Idk if this is already common knowledge on here, but Im just discovering this and really want to share. So I’ve been scowering liftblr for tips on specific stores, but have come up empty handed on a lot of my regional stores that aren’t everywhere. And I needed to know the LP situation but don’t know anyone that currently works there. So! I went on their websites and looked at their job listings for loss prevention and every one so far has listed DETAILED AF duties. Now I know exactly if cameras are actively monitored, if they have plainclothes LP, if they call police, what shifts they are shorthanded on , and when multiple locations share LP. MUAHAHAHAHAHAH

Another word on online scamming

Sorry for spamming the community on this topic, but I’ve seen so, so much dangerous advice lately.

Essentially, scams that rely on a merchant voluntarily giving you something - you order a product, pay for it, claim it didn’t arrive, the merchant refunds your money or sends you a replacement as a courtesy - are usually harmless. After all, you did your bit and paid. If the seller issues a refund or sends you free stuff, that’s on them.

Lately, however, I’ve seen scams that involves defaulting on your payment, like the PayPal scam where you stop direct debits before the money is processed. If you do this, you legally owe that money. You an be taken to court for it by the company you “scammed”, or they may sell it on to a collections agency. Have you ever dealt with one of those? You really, really do not want to:

http://www.cracked.com/article_19074_5-disturbing-new-ways-debt-collectors-are-getting-your-money.html

Many companies will only go after people if the sum warrants it. However, some will report first payment defaults to the police no matter what, because it’s a very good indicator of fraud, even if they decide not to pursue the debt with you themselves. Depending on your jurisdiction, this even can end up on your credit report.

Tl;dr: Defaulting on a payment means debt. You legally owe that money. This isn’t like lifting, it’s like lifting and sending LP a Christmas card with your face, name, address, and a list of all the things you lifted with dates.

Another thing: targeting payment processors like PayPal is dangerous. Their security is in a completely different ballpark than simple Loss Prevention. Why?

Imagine LP at S3ph0ra isn’t on top of their game. What’s the worst that can happen to the company? You walk out with as much make up as you can carry. S. won’t like that, but they can live with that.

Imagine PayPal’s Security is slacking. What’s the worst that can happen? Drug cartels, child porn rings or terrorist organisations move or launder money. What if another 9/11 happens and it turns out the new Bin Laden relied on PayPal to finance the operation? Apart from public image, PayPal would face massive fines, loss of licensing, loss of vital banking partners and potentially criminal prosecution. You really, really can’t fool PayPal by using a throwaway email.

Just saying.
