All the info you will ever need

Being the OCD person I am, I organized all the tips by store & various topics. I made this as a page yesterday, but the links wouldn’t work, so here’s a post. 

As stated before, this is a role-play blog, & if you attempt any of these, you are doing so at your own risk. Shoplifting is illegal, especially if you’re over 18 (in the US. not sure about other countries) Thanks for playing along! :)

People that use magnets have purchased them from AliExpress, Ebay, & Amazon. The most popular one is the N52 neodymium magnet.

Many stores have magnet detectors!!!

Checks for tags EVERYWHERE. Some are hidden in seams of clothing! Some are hidden underneath bar codes! 

Unless you’re a pro, avoid these stores: WalMart, K-Mart, Kohls, JC Penny, Target, Macy’s, Dillards, Belks, Neiman Marcus, & other department stores.

NEVER shoplift at church sales, thift stores (except Salvation Army lmao), & yard sales. NEVER rob people.

U/ta tips

As someone who actually fucking works at the store I’m tired of seeing all the horrible misinformation about what to do at u/ta

1. For fucks sake please stop stealing testers especially in perfume there are hidden cameras perfume and certain stores mostly high volume stealing stores and we are told to monitor perfume the most

2. Do not go on lifting one hour before closing we know this is the most hit time of day that lifters tend to shoplift there’s always a second manager watching the cameras at this time

3. Yes we always check cameras and I mean always if you beep we will check cameras and yes we will check the cameras outside to get your license plate number people who say this is a true are stupid and never have worked at the store

4. If you hit the same store over and over we do not build cases, however we will monitor you and most likely call the cops/mall cops

5. The reason why the white cubes of death exist is because people keep stealing 5 to 10 pallets of eyeshadow at a time stop doing this you’re making it harder for everyone

6. Speaking of the white cubes of death, the naked palette with these cubes on them or normally not checked just slide the pallets out of the boxes and leave the boxes alone I know this is normally not good but when the boxes or tag for the white cubes no one really checks them

7. If our managers see us on camera spotting a lifter and we on purposely let them get away our asses are in trouble so if you’re stupid enough to get caught by simple mistakes I don’t feel sorry for you

8. Do not conceal in drugstore makeup this is the place where most people do and are caught and where we find most of our empty boxes do not conceal in high end hair care either The best place to conceal is probably hair brushes or where the hair dryers are

9. When there is a big event such as sales or holidays specials there will be even more lost prevention in the store please make sure to be more careful than normal and cameras are actively monitored don’t be stupid

10. We cannot confront you only managers can we cannot touch you only police officers can we wear headsets to communicate constantly please don’t avoid us the best excuse is always I’m looking or I’m just browsing or killing time

11. In my experience, it doesn’t matter if you wear nice make up in the store or if it looks good we will always come up to you whether you were wearing make up or not just trying to dress in clothing that is not black because people are constantly come up to you and ask if you work there

Don't Do's

Instead of talking about what to do when lifting clothes, let’s talk about what not to do:

-don’t give back double tagged clothes -don’t pick up any clothes without checking the price tag and/or holding it up to your body to check sizing -don’t make too much eye contact with employees, but if it’s unavoidable make eye contact and smile -don’t look at cams -don’t look around the store, and doooon’t look up at the ceiling whatsoever -don’t be too friendly -don’t be rude to employees -don’t detag when the music in store stops playing -don’t (or at least try not to) detag when an employee is near by, they WILL know the sound (this goes for customers as well, some may have worked in retail and can snitch) -if you’re not buying anything, don’t go into the dressing room more than once -don’t steal clothing without bringing a duplicate into the dressing room (ex. don’t steal a yellow top without bringing in 1-2 more of different sizes) -don’t act nervous (fidget, drop items, stretch a lot, etc). Something that may help is pretending to play on your phone

That’s all I can think of, if you guys come up with more feel free to add to this post! 🌸

quick post to spread some info! i haven’t seen any posts on here with a complete breakdown of all types of security cameras you may encounter… well, this isn’t it either, but there are a couple that you should be able to recognize if you dont want to get caught. many stores use these covert cameras- i frequently see the speaker and motion sensor cams. please be careful everyone!!!
