Lifters among us, aka how I almost got caught.
I was travelling and decided to go to one of my favorite stores for lifting (ulta) with the intention of trying to get my hands on the new Anastasia highlighter and a few other goodies. I went in and everything seemed fine, I got all the stuff and concealed in a blind spot. Everything seemed normal.
Then an SA came up to me and asked me if I was finding everything okay, I said yes and she hovered, giving me a glare. I felt a little uneasy. She left after about 10 seconds but didn’t stay far away.
Then a second SA came up to me and offered me a basket. I said “no thanks, I don’t have much” She looked at me really intensely and said “take the basket” in a quiet voice, through her teeth in a smile.
I hesitated but took the basket and she said louder “let me know if you need help finding anything!” and walked away. I went to put some stuff I was carrying in the basket when I noticed a piece of receipt paper thrown in the basket, I looked closer at it and scrawled on it was “DITCH!!!”.
I felt my stomach knot and my palms started to sweat, when I dropped the items into the basket I snatched the little paper and crumpled it up, sticking it in my pocket.
I was internally panicking but making sure not to show it. There are several blind spots in this store so every time I passed through one I took out a couple products and stuck them in the bottom of the basket until my bag was empty.
I still wanted the highlighter so I went around putting items back, making it look like I was mulling over it before placing it back on the shelf.
I decided on buying a lip gloss and the highlighter and went to the front. There were several sales associates that seemed out of place just hovering, the girl that gave me the basket was one of them, she still stared at me intensely.
I paid for the merch in cash and didn’t give my name, said thank you and made sure to stay cool and normal the whole time (without forcing it). I took my bag and walked towards the door where a really mean looking lady was standing. Her mouth was contorted into a weird smile/grimace and she was driving daggers into me with her eyes.
As my hand touched the bar on the door to push it open, she put her arm out and pulled it back closed. I basically shit myself at this point but I knew I had nothing at all on me, so I just looked at her and asked her what was wrong.
She looked at me and curtly said “didn’t want the eyeshadow palette? Or the blush? Or the lipsticks?” I said “no, I only came here for the highlighter, thanks.” And pushed on the door again. Yet again she pulled it closed.
She asked me to go to the back room and I said “no thanks, I haven’t done anything.” Then she asks to look in my bag and I tell her “I don’t have to let you do that unless there’s a police officer requesting me to do so with reasonable grounds. Do you want me to call them? Because at this point you’re preventing me from leaving and you’re breaking the law.” I shoulda said violating my rights but whatever.
She tells me they’re already on the way. Cool.
The police arrive and walk up, they quickly chat with the manager and a couple staff members before approaching me and asking me to see in my bag. I oblige and open it up. All I have is my wallet, keys, phone, lip balm and a couple hair elastics. I’m wearing jeans and have very small pockets so they can see nothing is in there.
The cop asks me to wait one more moment and goes back to the employees/manager and I hear a bit of the quick convo including “did you even see her conceal anything?” (The SA that gave me the basket said no and that she didn’t think I took anything, Just following orders), “no she doesn’t have to open her bag for you unless police are here.”, “you can’t detain someone without solid proof or confession.”. Obviously they said it a bit different with proper terminology but that’s the basics of it.
I pretend to be inconvenienced and cross my arms, even though I feel like I’m going into cardiac arrest honestly.
The cops come back over and tell me I’m free to leave, they explain to me what the “misunderstanding” was and that nothing further will happen after I leave.
I thanked them and as I was leaving I shot the manager a dirty look and then caught eyes with the SA that gave me the basket, made sure not to smile or anything just wanted her to hopefully catch my thank you vibe.
If that SA is on liftblr honestly thank you so much I hope nothing happened afterwards and no one saw you do anything other than hand me the basket.
Scariest day ever omfg.
i’m glad nothing happened ❤️❤️ thankful for fellow lifters out there. this story makes me so tingly and happy, though.
if that SA is on liftblr let us know, girl. we love you
That’s crazy. That girl is an angel.
Lifting sisterhood at its finest 💝
DONT SLEEP ON THIS ITS A GOLD MINE
Alrighty we’ll start off with what basic pinhole cameras look like on their own not hidden or imbedded in walls.
The second picture is a pinhole camera without a specific lense attatched to it. Do you see that little cone shaped thing on the first picture? That’s the lens.
Pinhole cameras can be even smaller that that hunky box thing, they can even be wireless.
See how tiny? See how wireless? You know where these are? Plants, furniture, and displays in stores, potentially even mannequins.
Now to some cameras you’re probably seen and didn’t even know they were cameras!
I bet you have all seen some variation of this thing around and didn’t even know that they were a camera! Maybe a motion sensor device? These little guys take a photo up to every 1/100,000 if you aren’t into photography that’s a very fast shutter speed. A normal camera usually goes up to 1/250th of a second. The live feed from those pinhole cameras updates every 1/100000th of a second creating a constant HD feed for loss prevention to look over at their leisure. I know for a fact that my American Eagle has the little white pinhole cameras and I have seen them around. Now to how do they layout these cameras?
Once upon a time I had a post on my old blog queen-city-lifter that had a picture of a section of Hollister’s store with the pinhole camera placement. Some idiot employee left it unattended and out on the counter for any impressionable and curious youth to look at. So I took a picture and studied it obviously. I hope one day you can be as lucky.
In short, recognize pinhole cameras and know what stores use them. Stores will typically not mix dome cameras and pinhole cameras. But always be on the look out.
!!!
y'all! need! to! know! this! guys memorize all the fucking cameras you could ever come across, and don’t EVER conceal on camera you will get fucked over
not lifting related but important
In regards to what is happening in Charlottesville, if you support or defend anything that terrorist group is doing unfollow me.
it’s been a while
i’ve been actively lifting, mainly just small things here and there, or things for fun lol. i got two weed hat’s from one of those touristy stores and a sippy cup and a pool shark. i’ve been a lot more chill about lifting and mentally i’ve been up and down.
can y’all update me on what’s here in liftblr? what’s up with writing out store names like w@l-m@rt ?
yeah same
It’s so the posts don’t come up when people search for the store names! 😊
there’s an option on tumblr that people aren’t aware of.
you can make your blog disappear from both google search and tumblr search in your settings and then you don’t have to do any of that ~extra~ shit :D
i’m not trying to be “that person” but this should be getting more reblogs and likes, tenfold. because anyone that i see saying w@lm@rt is like.. why you do this.
this /actually/ keeps our community safer and more exclusive.
Masterpost: How to Save Space & Stay Organized While Lifting:
Want to avoid getting caught just because SAs notice your bag looks lumpy as fuck when you leave a store? Want to stay organized and not constantly shuffle around the shit ton of clothes you just stole in your bags between stores?? Want to fit even more of those delightfully sinful clothes in any bag your evil hearts desire??? Want to skip the extra trips having to dump your stolen goodies in your car cause you can’t control your lifting habit???? Want to finally organize the disgusting piles of all your hauls that have been collecting dust in your bedroom?????
Here you go u filthy animals.
Step-by-step illustrations on how to properly fold clothes in life, I tried this out today and sweet Jesus Christ on a cracker it works wonders for lifting. (Taken from a book I lifted called “Spark Joy”)
Example: fold shirts this way and stack at bottom of your bag, and throw an unfolded item on top to cover the clothes. No stores will ever fold your new clothes this neat so it’s best to cover them to make it look natural if you have an open shopping bag.
*** Please note that this only works in fitting rooms or if you go to the mall restrooms after hitting a store… please don’t attempt this on the store floor lmao cuz obviously ur done 4 if someone saw you folding shit this way out in the open.
Let me know if you try this and it works out for you too!!!
Much love 🐒❤️
god bless 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻
Perfec t:-D
Wow ily
I don’t collect stamps.
*Okay.* I’ve had quite a few people ask me about my methods for hiding tags. I don’t hide tags. I take them with me.
Pictured above are fewer than a quarter of the tags we’ve collected over the course of a couple months since we’ve gotten our magnet in the mail. We’ve gotten RFIDS, a slew of super tags we disposed of (they’re very large and not practical to keep), ink tags, golf tags, pencil tags, you name it. I didn’t beep taking ANY of these tags with me. Not once!
I’ve easily carried ten plus tags into a store and not made a sound. Dozens of times. Left with a concealed tag a hundred times without beeping.
What I’ve done is layered a Ziploc container in THREE layers of foil, individually taping each one. Make sure the top has the same amount of foil too! Nothing should be left uncovered! This will counteract the tag detection of the towers.
Everything I’ve read online has suggested using more foil, some people even say to use ten to twenty layers. Seriously? We’ve used three. I haven’t beeped at American Eagle, Express, Abercrombie, Aritzia, Garage, Cleo’s, Ann Taylor, Urban Outfitters, J Crew, Adidas (walking in with a bunch of tags), Payless, just to name a very short few off the top of my head.
You can use any container you’d like! Make it non-suspicious! We haven’t gotten around to making a better one yet. Put the foil on the inside! Make it invisible!
I detag in the dressing room, and place tags in the container. This stops the beeping, I can abandon the container if need be, it’s less likely to be noticed by employees and doesn’t make any crinklimg sounds at all! If you’re taking tags anyway, you have a magnet. So just detag in store. Don’t bother wrapping your whole bag. Waste of time and way more suspicious.
I’m getting really sick of all this double tagging non sense. Stop leaving behind your evidence. You’re already getting a felon charge if you’re carrying a magnet and removing security tags. Don’t pretend you’re a fucking angel because tin foil is somehow any more scary. Get over yourself. Maybe I’m more *illegal* than you (whatever helps you sleep at night) but I won’t be caught because sales associates call the police next time I’m in store after repeated instances of me leaving a dressing room of double tagged items. Miss me with your superiority. It is SO misplaced.
i don’t personally think anyone was trying to attack you or claim superiority by choosing not to utilize a booster bag / cup / whatever (at least not based on your last post)? everyone has their own reasons for not wanting to dabble in something they’re uncomfortable with or unfamiliar with.
i think your information is extremely useful and informative - i’m quite thankful that you share it with us. :) your intel is knowledgeable but i think does come off slightly more aggressive than necessary.. but if you have in fact been receiving backlash for this, i do apologize for the ones that may be scolding you.
Do you have plastic wrap over the foil to protect it? I may be looking at it wrong.
Brilliant!
It’s actually tape. Without the tape, the foil won’t stay attached and it will crinkle. (Who wants that?)
Ever considered wrapping it in a dull colored tape (like the beige painters tape or whatever) so just in case someone looks in your bag it won’t immediately catch their eye? Idk if that would make any difference, but I feel like my eye would be drawn more to shiny silver than beige. Also if they see the tinfoil they will be more inclined to search the container, while if it’s not visibly a boost cup thing, they won’t have a reason to search it? Or hey maybe you could line the inside of a big opaque tumbler cup, so again. If they search your bag, your clean. But youd also have to figure out how to block the straw hole while still having a straw in it….. Maybe use like an off brand hydro flask. One with a big mouth opening and minimal insulation
Sorry I over think everything 😝😝
hmm now I’m thinking about those coffee thermoses… a lot bigger and perhaps more common to carry around?
DIVERSION SAFES
I just thought of this idea at 2 am so I apologize if it’s not good.
I know people use these to hide weed and stuff already (along with those who use it how it should be used). So maybe these are pretty good for hiding small items like mascara or something. These are the most practical I’ve seen that someone might carry in their bag so far, however there are plenty more.
I’ve only see them online, so you’d have to purchase it.

<p>!! PSA !!<br /> slicing an rfid tag straight down the middle as i did above will disable it. i did this with a compass point lmao, but it sliced through it enough to allow me to unstick some of it, which meant the towers didn’t beep.<br /> i would do this with a razor blade, as a knife is very obvious and it’s illegal to carry them in some places lol<br /> idk if this is obvious or not but i’m still new and others wanted to know as well so i did it and this is the result lol
I heard that some stores have magnet detectors that sends a silent signal when you go in. How do you know if a store has such a detector?
This is what they look like! Considering they are silent I would stay away from them or you can walk in with a huge group of people and get away from the entrance as fast as possible, same with leaving the store! What ever you do be safe!!
I will never stop reblogging this to remind y'all that some stores actually can know ur ass has magnets
I’ve heard 2 towers in a row and stores with cams directly over the entrance has magnet detectors.
LOOK OUT FOR STORES WITH 2 TOWERS!!!!!!
My local urban JUST got these and I fear it’s because of me

Both of these were lifted from 2 separate dillard stores. Just walked in carrying a banana republic bag with some old clothes in it, and a jacket over it and then went to the purse section, put them on like I owned them and walked out no with problem! Confidence is key.
Savings: maroon studded MK Selma bag: 328$ Large navy pocket MK bag: 228$
Total saved: 556$
Who spends that much money on purses? Common……
I’m in love with the studded one tho, will boost the other for money for my bfs Christmas gift that I can’t lift
Oh my god. It seems no matter how much progress is seemingly being made for us black lifters, we are still being treated like objects & deemed as a lesser value than a normal human being. Reading that some of y'all would use a POC as a prop, decoy, and object to distract SAs and support racial profiling by promoting using a black person as a suspect while you steal from a store is absolutely the most sickening thing I’ve read on this site so far. Keep telling me I can be used as a “distraction” and an “object” but before you continue with that viewpoint, look at all my successful hauls I’ve pulled off as a WOKE POC. 🙂💞
"Caught red handed" TV show
I know i don’t have many followers but for those who do read what I post, I’m watching a series on YouTube called caught red-handed. It’s about these pro LP “agents” that go store to store mostly to solve employee theft issues, but catch a lot of random lifters. Just the way they talk to each other is educational on what LP look for on security cams and such, behavior, suspicious outfits, Ect. This stuff isn’t news to most experienced lifters but can still be useful to know for some people and I’d recommend watching some!
Yes! This is amazing
The Lift-Witch complete and comprehensive guide on how to lift without a magnet or hook
Different tags can be removed different ways, some of which I won’t go into to here only because I want these tips to be as general as possible in order to be helpful to more people. These tips will work on every tag I’ve ever encountered except 2alarm or 3alarm tags which are the physical embodiment of the devil.
These techniques are tried and tested personally by me, my favourite and most foolproof techniques are marked with an asterisk(*).
Do not read this expecting some miracle technique, this is all just common sense. Also do not try these all in one go, work on each technique one by one and polish your skills to avoid getting cocky or sloppy.
Sus= suspicious, getting caught or being close “Don’t act sus” “security looked super sus” “I hope they don’t sus me out” “I think my mum has sussed out where all these new things are coming from”
*IMPORTANT INFO TO REMEMBER BEFORE DETAGGING* 1. Never detag on the shop floor, take items into the changing room and detag and conceal in your bag or under clothes in there. Sneak items into the changing room unseen by: - slipping items into your bag or pockets or down the front of your trousers or bra in a blindspot (an area where you cannot be seen by cameras, be sure that no staff or customers can see you either) - dumping an open, mostly empty shopping bag below a rail of clothes then subtlety dropping clothes on the hanger into the bag in a blindspot (this one requires super awareness of who can and can’t see you behind your back, very dangerous and not for rookies) when you then pick up this bag be sure to cover the opening of it with your jacket or clothes which you wish to take into the changing room - slipping small items into the pockets of a coat or pair of jeans that you’ll then take into the changing room (stick to things like small wallets and jewellery that are found within or near the clothing section, it will look weird if you are carrying a big coat around the electronics) - *hanging more than one item on a hanger is the easiest and most fool proof way of getting items into the changing room to detag. Grab something chunky and something long, like a floaty dress and and a chunky cardigan or jacket, then hang what ever you want on the neckline of one of the items, you can also hang things on the back loops of jeans, the loop sometimes found on the inside of jacket or a looped label. A few things to watch out for: jackets may fall off the hanger due to the extra weight and reveal your concealment, and make you look nervous and sus, you can avoid this by closing up the jacket, this will also hide the item hung on the jackets loop far better. And make sure to pass a mirror before entering the changing rooms to check if you have any hangers sticking out and hold something against yourself as if you’re checking to make sure it suits you so you don’t look sus. Also if the fitting room attendant takes the items off of you and find the double hung items you can just act dumb and say “oh I knew I had more items” “oops sorry I forgot I was making an outfit” it sounds out of the ordinary but it’s never not worked for me. 2. Some paper tags and barcode stickers have RFID tags hidden inside, these can be deactivated by making a tear which ruins the electronic signal, but I prefer to be leave these behind inside the pockets of jeans or a coat. 3. Always take a pair of jeans or a coat with lots of pockets I to the changing room to hide all your tags in, I find a coat is best because you can hang hangers inside to make more space inside your bag which looks less sus and leaves more room for more stolen goods. A coat isn’t always available though or looks sus in the summer but jeans are stocked year round so is a safe bet. Always remember to take anything that you left tags inside back out to the shop floor and dump somewhere messy in the store or back where you found it, never give it to the changing room attendant! If they find the tags it will be almost impossible to talk your way out of it. 4. Ink tags are not there as a deterrent, they are never fake and do contain ink that will stain your skin and your clothes if it is broken open and it will break open if you are too rough and you will be caught for sure. You need to be super careful with ink tags, super super careful. 5. Do not over stuff your bags, you might as well write “shoplifter” across your forehead in day glow glitter if you’re gonna walk around with a over stuffed bag.
Okay detagging techniques: 1. *Yank the tag, just yank it. Pull the fabric taut and yank the tag itself firmly until there is a rip in the fabric big enough to pull the tag through. Be careful not to pull too hard and make a big, suspicious noise and a big ugly hole. With ink tags you’re better to hold the tag at the edge, and yank softly but firmly, if you keep your hands on the sides it shouldn’t break. 2. Using a seam ripper to make a hole big enough to pull the tag through, get the seam ripper as close to the pin that hold the tag on the garment as possible and dig the point I to the hole made by the pin and push forward softly to rip the fabric. A seam ripper is a tiny metal tool, sort of like a two pronged fork with a razor between the prongs, it is used for ripping out bad seams believe it or not but works just as well on fabrics. Keep your seam ripper inside a small sowing kit inside your bag so that if you get searched you can say you just carry it as part of the kit in case of a wardrobe malfunction, this will get you a far more lenient punishment than if you were caught with the seam ripper on its own. You can find these in any haberdashers and most craft stores. 3. A small pair of nail scissors is also good for digging at the hole made by the pin to make a big enough gap for the tag to come through. Again carry it inside a small nail care kit with nail files and polish and things so you cannot be charged with “going equipped” to steal. 4. A craft knife does the same job but if you are found carrying these around it could look super weird so I’d suggest not carrying these or cutting a small slit in the lining of your handbag and slipping it in there. 5. Plant clippers or socateurs with a thin set of blades will easily cut through tag pins and wires but make a loud sus sound when they snip and could get you caught. Also are much harder to explain or hide than a craft knife, I’d suggest hiding in the handbag lining and only carry them if you truly 100% need them.
Hiding your tags DO NOT LEAVE THEM BEHIND IN THE CHANGING ROOM this is how most shoplifters got caught when I worked in retail. You must hide them and there are a few ways to do this: 1. Take the tags with you and hide them in the pockets of jackets and jeans as you walk about, this is super dangerous and should only be done if the other three methods are impossible. 2. *Hide tags inside the pockets of a jacket or pair of jeans or anything with pockets that you brought into the changing room with you, when you leave do not give the item with hidden tags to the changing room attendant, take it with you and out it so wwheres messy or back where you found it so that the tags will not be found until you are long gone. 3. Tape tags to the bottom of the changing room stool, be careful because the tape might make noise when you peel it and the tag could be found as you leave, fairly risky. 4. If the changing room dividers are thick enough you can reach up and set the tag on top of it. I have been back to shops I did this to a year ago and the tags are still there covered in dust ahahah be careful not to drop the tags I to other changing rooms or too near the door where someone might see your hand.
NOW PLEASE FOR MY SANITY STOP WITH THE ROOKIE ASS QUESTIONS
If I missed anything out feel free to add relevant and informative tips, no falsies please xxx
Great Tips!!!
Yo sidenote bring in a energy drink can with water in it. This serves 2 functions. 1) pretend to drink it and when you throw your head back you’ve got a perfect look at the ceiling for cameras. And 2- most important) PUT ALL THE TAGS AND SHIT IN THERE. Trust me you do not want to put tags in pockets of anything because even if they don’t find it till later it doesn’t matter because they can always go BACK THROUGH the old footage and see you being the one to put those pants or whatever back.
