A couple things you should do before hitting up a store...

Hey, all!

Here are some online resources that could potentially help you in future endeavors.

Here is a website for checking to see if a store has been hit before. Helpful to see how much security is potentially there (if you haven’t been there before:)

https://www.crimereports.com/

Also, look google your store that you will be hitting (find the exact store you are going to) and see the peak hours of it! Then make your conclusions on whether you should hit it up when more or less people are there (I heard it depends on the store!)

That’s all I got for now. Happy hunting!

Haha some family friends that I know did this in a national park with one of the trees. That tree now has a daughter growing in their backyard. Probably don’t do this in a national park because that is protected by the feds, but wouldn’t hurt if you tried I guess? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Tip for some legal free succs 🌱

Succulents

↳ Pull off a leaf!! This is called propagating. Who’s gonna stop you when it looks like you’re just checking to see how healthy the plant is? You twist the leaf off at the stem gently and just pop that lil babe in your pocket. Get a couple incase they don’t start to grow. Here is an article that goes into more detail on growing baby plants

Get a purse like this, with the fabric around the inside of it, and cut a hole into the side of the purse. It creates like a secret hole in your purse to carry so much shit! If anyone sus you, you can just open your purse and empty your pockets and they’ll see nothing at all! Works better for smaller items like foundations and concealers. Using this purse in s e p h o r a today.

Good Way To Practice

Hey, so every time I’m about to go to the mall, I feel the need to practice beforehand. Soo, my friend and I thought of this.. Grab all of your phones, laptops, iPods and cameras as you have (they need to have a decent amount of storage left on them), set them up all at different angles all over your bedroom or somewhere in your house, press record on each of them. Walk into the room, pretend as if your in the store you will be in later on and then practice away getting items from the room. Afterwards, stop recording on each of the cameras and watch over each tape and see how well you hid from each of the cameras. Then with enough practice, it helps be better at it when there’s lots of cameras or also helps not be as paranoid when you do go.

found on slatrat88 . thought i would add music to it.

[i-lift-spirits-blog]

This is done like a casual Youtube tutorial! Awesome!

How to take off different tags. As you can see the black tag is a ÜÖ tag. Lots of people are having trouble taking these off. Put your magnet on the spot that doesn’t have that metal pin showing, and it should come right off.

i’m so scared to post hauls and include pics, mostly because i don’t want to be tracked down. any tips?

just to be safe, we use http://www.verexif.com/en/ on our photos to make sure the gps coordinates are erased from our photos :) also make sure that no one you know irl follows your lifting blog and try to avoid showing off your surroundings if you take pictures at home

edit: another tip is to censor the store name so that your blog wont pop up if they search for it (ex: seph0ra, m!chaels)

happy lifting! love, podge

[i-lift-spirits-blog]

Reblogging because I need this info!

So I’ve noticed basically all of the old lifting masterposts have broken links, so I wanted to make a newer, updated one :)

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.

First Lîft Soon!

Hey, all!

I am a total beginner and am so nervous about this but am going to go through with it eventually! I read a lot of tips from some beautiful people in lîftblr and I’m probably going to hit Mích@éls soon since a lot of people said it was an easy store to lîft from in general (so I guess that goes for beginners as well.) This will be my very first hit!

I’m going to be gathering as much information as I can possible and lay out a floor plan of the store and where all the cameras are (or make a mental note, anyways.) I have heard many things about going there in the morning just when the store first opens so the employees are more sluggish and busy, so I’ll try that too. Don’t worry, I’ll start off extremely small!

I’m not a minor so if I get caught it’s all over for me, but if you get caught in Mích@éls I hear it’s a lot better than some other major chain stores, so wish me luck! If you have any advice, please dm me and I’ll be happy to hear it!

Yours truly, Spirits.

Ways To Stay Anon as a Lîftblr

p { margin-bottom: 0.1in; line-height: 115%; }a:link { }

Here is a guide to those who are afraid to post online because their identity might be compromised:

1. On your computer, install Virtual Machine (by Oracle) and set it up. This is a software which (in Lehman's terms) lets you run virtual computers from. This virtual computer is your last line of defense if anything goes wrong with the any software listed below (which shouldn’t happen, but just in case) and there would be a chance for people/hackers to get into your computer to get your personal information and expose you.

2. Install Ubuntu (a type of Linux OS) on the Virtual Machine. The reason for this is that this is the only OS that is (relatively) easy to install and is free to download.

3. Once you install Ubuntu and get it running, make sure to create an account (and administrator account, of course) and for the love of all things holy create a password for your account. Make it unique but something you can remember. Don’t show it to anyone and try not to write it down unless you have to. If you do write it down, do it on a small piece of paper (physically) and don’t keep it anywhere electronically. It is extremely easy nowadays for hackers to get your information on the computer/internet and exploit electronically written down passwords. If they find that password to your account and get into it, they can report you to the police, your friends, your family, etc. Don’t be that person.

4. On top of all the other steps install the Tor Browser on Ubuntu (your virtual computer.) This is the key step. If you can’t do the previous steps for whatever reason, absolutely do this one (just do it on your regular computer.) This is the main thing that helps keep you anon on the internet. This browser is the first and most important line of defense, and may be your only defense if you don’t have a virtual computer. Leave the browser’s settings on default unless you know how to tweak the settings (if you mess with them you might screw something up and get the browser to stop working, in which case just delete and reinstall the browser.)

5. Read the “New to Tor Browser? Let’s Get Started.” information in the about:tor page that opens at first launch of the browser. It contains very useful information about using it. Especially look at the tab in the information section called “Circuit Display.” Select the “See My Path” button when you open the tab and it will explain a bit about circuits for you. Don’t worry if you don’t understand it at all, but it is very useful to those that do (just in case something goes wrong or you need to change info around a bit.)

6. Another note about the Tor Browser is that it is really annoying when it comes to ReCapcha stuff. It sometimes takes multiple tries to prove that you are a human and that kinda stuff pops up a lot. Not impossible to get through, but time consuming. I still think it’s worth it if you really want that extra layer of security.

7. Last but not least, create an entirely new Tumblr account in the Tor Browser. Don’t use a previous account because that is already traceable back to you through your IP address among other things (yes, even sites like Tumblr store this information.) You should create an account that isn’t traceable back to you in any way. DO NOT PUT YOUR NAME, AGE, STATE, CITY, WHAT YOU LOOK LIKE, OR ANY PERSONAL INFORMATION ABOUT YOU IN YOUR NEW TUMBLR ACCOUNT. Create a strong password for this account and make sure it is unique (follow previous password tips I gave above.) From now on, only access your new lîftblr account on Tumblr through the TOR BROWSER. If you login anywhere else on that account, your account/identity might be compromised. Tip: also use a throwaway email for the purposes of creating your account. Make sure your email cannot be linked back to you. Here’s a link to a site which can give you a disposable email that may prove useful to you.

8. Another note: two factor authentication is a double edged sword. It can give you protection if your account is stolen, but not without drawbacks. If possible, try not to use it because it will give away your phone number and link it back to you. However, if you feel as if you must use two factor authentication, use a disposable number for this purpose. There are plenty of websites online which grant you these kinds of numbers, like this one.

9. OK last note I promise. Also make sure you have likes and follows hidden for your new account (this is just so antis won’t harass you.) I saw this advice elsewhere on Tumblr but don’t use tags related to lîftblr, misspell the names of stores so that there would be less key words that people could search up to give us away, and try to misspell or place accents on anything related to lîfting. It’ll only make your life easier.

10. Don’t look up anything related to lîfting on Google because they will track you! If you get caught, they may use it against you as evidence in court and you’ll get a heavier sentence. Use DuckDuckGo instead as a search engine to play it safe.

11. Also (this one might be a no-brainer,) but don’t post anything about lîfting by accident on one of your other blogs! I don’t need to tell you what’ll happen if you do.

If you aren’t very technologically adept there are plenty of online/YouTube tutorials on how to do everything that I just listed. Everything here should be free to download and if it isn’t, you’re probably being scammed or are on the wrong website.

This will not guarantee 100% anonymity, but it creates a good 98% of it. The rest of it is up to you.

P.S. Bonus points if you have a VPN!

Source: me! I’m a comp sci student and know a lot about privacy from lurking around on the internet. I’m also extremely paranoid.

[i-lift-spirits-blog]

Haven’t used tags and I’m not planning to. Will spread! Thanks for the info guys!

Another good tip I’ve heard to stay safe/away from antis: don’t reblog outside of the community and keep all follows and likes private on your blog!

This may be common sense to some people but it wasn’t for me. Thank you kind, internet strangers for these useful pieces of information!

New lîftblrs PLEASE DONT USE TAGS

Don’t do it

Don’t use any lîfting related tags

Just don’t

Antis will be all over you (and the rest of us by association)

Just

Don’t
