That feel when people like my listings on posh but don’t buy them 😩😩😭

GUYS I REALLY WANT A PATAGONIA OR NORTHFACE PUFFY!! Please if you know any tips at REI or similar places or have seen a blog haul with a puffy jacket, let me know!!

Magnets! Rei had no cameras and the dressing rooms and not monitored or locked... i have a vest and a half zip!

Does anyone know anything about Disney Stores?

 I have a collection of stolen Tsum Tsum and they have tonnnnsssss of them so I want to do a haul there next month.

I lifted a mug there once, doesn’t seem hard unless you’re trying for something bulky and noticeable. No SAs constantly talking to you, at my store there’s a greeter and everyone else is on registers, plus tons of displays for blind spots! Just watch out for little prying eyes, kids watch everything

I’m not the kind of person who asks for help like this but I am in a terribly difficult situation and I need to reach out in some way. 

My extremely conservative Muslim parents are keeping me under strict lockdown (I’m not allowed to leave the house aside from attending class, they have a printout of my uni schedule, they drop me off/pick me up immediately, I’m not allowed a copy of the housekeys, they’re forcing me to quit both of my jobs, I’m not allowed to wear makeup in public ‘because it makes me look beautiful’, they’re withholding my citizenship/birth certificate/passport/other documents from me…. their demands/orders go on). 

They are also forcing me into an arranged marriage once I finish my undegrad. I’m 21 years old and from the Toronto area and am legally able to leave but because I’m still enrolled in university for another semester, I’m too afraid to leave now in fear that they’ll be able to find me when I leave (I have family that attend the same university as me.) The day that I leave, I don’t want them to be able to have any way of finding me. 

I have plans to live with my partner when I leave in April but any donations to help support us would be so appreciated. Neither of us are in the greatest financial situations. I want to legally change my identity so that they won’t be able to track me down and I need money for that; I also don’t know if I can work until I can have my identity legally changed - there’s a lot about this situation that I have no clue out about and would appreciate any sort of support. I also have a history of mental illness (depression/anxiety/borderline personality disorder) and my mental stability has been deteriorating as a result of my current state. 

A link to my paypal is here: paypal.me/zararaz | alternatively, riizara@live.com

If you’re unable to donate, I’d like to ask that you A) circulate this around and B) please contact me if you know/if you are a survivor of forced marriage. This is the scariest thing I’ve ever had to do in my life.

shoplifting routine + tips

before i sleep, i’m going to type out some things i collected from lift-pros who have deactivated their blogs and adopted into my own routine! i’ll just detail my routine and try to give a few tips at the end so that the newer lifters can have some of the wisdom of those who have left us.

routine: 

whenever i go lifting, i always bring a medium sized purse and a large shopping bag. i gently fold the shopping bag and put it inside of my purse. other than this, i’ll bring:

my magnet and hook (i hide them inside of these hidden zippers in my purse) {some lifters use scissors. same goes.}

a wallet with a decent amount of money (if i have it) in case i get caught 

earphones (personal preference, but i find that music calms me and makes me look nonchalant. sometimes i won’t even listen to anything so that i can appear occupied, but actually be attentively listening around me.)

when i enter my first store, i’ll browse around, examining fabric, price tags, comparing clothes to my body in the mirrors. this is useful for concealing. if you conceal an item of clothing in another, mirrors are so good for checking if you can see it. just look as if you’re checking our your appearance. 

try to take some items without hangers, so that you can put those items onto hangers when you have extras. 

once i’ve taken a couple items i want along with some larger items with pockets (jeans, overalls, collared shirts) i’ll go to a changing room. if an attendant asks me how many items i have, i’ll lie and say 2 less than what i have. if they physically count the items, then i’ll probably only steal one item. if no one gives a shit, then still, don’t be too careless about stealing items. there’s still video cameras. 

***MAKE SURE not to steal a boldly printed/colored item that’s showing in your pile of clothing or the first item that you’re holding. they’ll probably notice it’s gone, or at least there’s a greater risk. ***

in the changing room, i’ll probably take my shoes off so i don’t look suspicious from underneath the curtain. and if the curtain doesn’t fully close, i ALWAYS hold it closed with my body as i detag. a lady once walked in on me as i was detagging and i nearly had a heart attack, thankfully she didn’t see anything. 

after i take the tags off of the items i want, i’ll put the tags into or onto the clothes i don’t want. DOUBLE CHECK FOR TAGS PLEASE!!!! THERE’S CHANCES OF EXTRA HARD AND SOFT TAGS. i’ll put the clothes i detagged in my purse. if i don’t have space, i might wear the item of clothing if it’s small and unnoticeable. when i exit the changing room, i’ll most likely leave one item that has been untouched on the rack outside of the changing room. 

PLEASE MAKE SURE NOT TO LEAVE THE ITEM WITH THE EXTRA TAGS ON OR IN IT ON THE RACK OR WITH THE ATTENDANT the attendant will be touching these items the soonest and it’s pretty sketchy when a tag falls out of a pocket or if there’s an extra on there. 

i usually take the items with the tags and bring them back out to the store, if i’m not lazy i’ll put it back where it came from. i always try to put it in the middle of the rack.

then i exit the store, trying to look calm. 

so you probably noticed i haven’t mentioned the shopping bags yet. this isn’t what everyone does, but i always head to the bathroom and put the clothes i stole into the bag. it works for me because i can’t necessarily pull off walking into my mall with a bag in hand, but if you want to start off with the bag, just put something thin and dark inside the bag to put on top of the clothes you stole. just in case. 

then i hit up other stores! except at these other stores, i can put the clothes i take into the shopping bag.

tips: 

1. always double check for tags on the clothing. this is a given, but really, you have to check for any kind of tag. you might have gotten the hard tag off, but there could still be a soft tag somewhere, or some other lifter could’ve left a tag somewhere. hold up the price tags and clothing tags up to the light and look for chips and shit.

2. HIDE your tools. please. hide them. if the LP sees your tools, you’ll get punished so much harder because you were shoplifting with the intent.

3. DON’T RUN!!! don’t run. if you run, well, it depends on store policy. but if you run, they might tackle you or call the police or some shit.

4. if you don’t have a good feeling about a place, drop the shit and get out. seriously. get out. leave the mall if you have to. give it a little time before you return. just don’t risk it. no item is worth a record, especially since we’re all young with our futures ahead of us.

5. find somewhere to put your tags. don’t be careless. i’ve seen people just leave the tags in the changing room, it’s not necessarily traceable but it draws attention to the fact that shoplifting is prevalent in the store. what i’ve found is putting them inside of purses, pockets is effective. and of course, retagging clothing as well. i usually tag the inner tag on the seam of the clothing. 

6. always be nice to the SA. if they talk to you, they’re just doing their job and being polite. but if they’re following you around a little too closely, they’re probably suspicious of you. 

7. dress appropriately for the store. this is also a given, but don’t wear shit like black hoodies and sweatpants, cause you probably look like a lifter who wants to wear clothing out of the store. also, i recommend changing your appearance up a little.

8. don’tttt please don’t go to one store too much and never buy anything. give it some time. if an store attendant asks, i like to say that i’m just trying on things and i’m going to tell my mom what i want so we can come back. also, don’t always go at like 4:00 on a tuesday. change it up, so you catch different employees at different shifts. 

9. don’t grab a shitton of stuff and then steal a large portion of it. for me it’s usually: stealing one item for every four pieces i grab, two if the SA’s aren’t nearby or paying attention, or if i concealed really well.  

10. you don’t NEED to buy a small thing to alleviate suspicion. i understand the logic, but honestly i’d just get out of the store. don’t stay longer than you need to. 

11. when you’re leaving, don’t rush out. walk sloow and calm like any normal shopper would. i get it. you wanna get out ASAP. but you also don’t want to be sus. fake a phone call if you must. or look at your phone. just be natural. 

12. DON’T BE AFRAID TO WASTE A DAY ON SCOUTING. lifting at a new store is very exciting but sometimes they might have something you’re not familiar with, like at zara, they will scan every single clothing item and make sure there’s a tag when you’re entering and leaving the changing room. when you scout, figure out the layout, security cameras, SA procedures

13. THIS IS REALLY USEFUL FOR ME idk if it’s useful for you but some of the stores i go to have a level for men’s wear and a level for women. often times, the changing rooms on the men’s level will have fewer people and fewer SA’s. if you feel like the SA’s on the women’s level are hardasses about the clothes in your arm, check out the men’s level. 

14. DON’T TAKE WHAT YOU DON’T NEED. don’t be greedy. this is just me, but i take only things i will actually wear. some people boost, so that’s different, but don’t be greedy. stores will probably notice a larger loss in inventory way sooner. pleaseee don’t be greedy. sometimes shoplifting is so easy you think you can get away with anything, but it’s still illegal at the end of the day. only take things you really want. i always look at store websites before hitting up stores so i have an idea of what i want and i have my limits. be smart about it. there’s a ton of big, flashy hauls on tumblr, but you don’t need to compete with others. go at your own speed. 

15. don’t ever underestimate the fact that shoplifting is still a crime. even if you’re a teenager, you’ll be punished. don’t forget that. you can still stick it to the man, just, be careful. 

other methods besides dressing room concealing:

so there’s a lot of other methods out there, especially just on the floor concealing where you put things in your bag or your sleeve. personally, it doesn’t work for me, so i’m sorry i didn’t cover it. i’m afraid of blind spots not actually being blind spots and i’m also afraid of tags. if there’s jewelry i want or something non-clothing, i’ll hide it under the clothes in my arm. this is only if the SA will not take these things from me and count them. so you need prior knowledge. anyways, a lot of jewelry i’ve seen have tags as well so be careful. i’ve taken shoes, bikinis, jewelry, socks and underwear this way ahaha i’d say it’s effective but you need to know your store. 

hope this helped! 

Great post. For the anons in my inbox, take a look.

me walking out of a store after lifting successfully

omg i’m trying this rn

Honestly I’m pretty sure I’ve done this with every single thing I’ve bought online that hasn’t been tracked, I still try if it’s tracked too but it’s less likely to work. It works like 90% of the time lmao. please don’t try to do this with small self owned businesses tho cuz that’s a huge dick move. I have a store on etsy and people have tried to pull this shit with me before and it just takes money out of my pocket, because my stuff is already as cheap as I can make it.

yes guys don’t do this ^^^!!!!

If you order something from Sephora online and tell customer service that it arrived broken, they will replace it no questions asked. Ive done it a bunch of times

Tips for carrying around lifting tools in plain sight without getting in trouble

Alright my loves. I got some tips.

I happen to be a dog groomer in training and hot damn it made me start carrying cat nail clippers on my Keychain.

So. Let’s get into this shit.

1. Cat nail clippers in your purse, on your Keychain, wherever really. You can use them to cut plastic ties extremely quietly. Also good backup for ripping holes. Having a sharp object comes in handy. If you get asked about them you say you have a cat. Or if you happen to be a groomer, you say that. People won’t question it.

2. Your little magnets. The ones from home depot. Everyone puts them in pens. But I got a better idea. finger casts that’s right fucking finger splint casts things. Put your magnets in it lengthwise along the underside of your middle finger then wrap your middle and ring finger together as if it’s a splint. The magnet still works through medical bandages. This is how I hide my magnets. I usually say the injury came from falling down the stairs like the clutz I am.

3. Hooks. Dude. Holy crap this is gonna sound ridiculous but there’s a few tricks. 3.1: carry dog treats on you. Like a small little black doggy bag of dog treats. Or snacks in general. Trail mix my dudes. Put the hook deep in the trail mix. 3.2 you can make some weird jewelry out of it I’m sure 3.3 stuff it under your tits..if you don’t have tits. Tape it to your underwire on your bra. If you don’t have a bra. Well…. 3.4 finger splint my dude but this time your whole hand and put the hook in the curve of your thumb and pointer finger 3.5 alright this one’s gonna hurt your purse or luggage. Don’t worry. you’re gonna slice into the thick handle of your purse and slide the hook in there. Paint it the color of the handle. Make sure it’s on the same curve as the handle would be naturally .

Alright so I’m really high rn so I’m not getting my point across good but hopefully you guys are getting what I’m saying

Oddly enough I keep my hook in my pony tail! I have thick hair so I put it in a snug pony tail with my normal 2 hair ties, then slide the hook inside my hair between my scalp and hair ties. If I can’t feel it poking out, I know it’s not visible. Easy to slip in and out for detagging

ok so alottttt of you ask how I do my “scarf trick” and it’s so hard to explain unless I actually show you.. so here we are

straight forward af, first

tuck the scarf under your arm your holding your bag so it completely covers your bag

select two of the same item (not as obviously as I did in the video clearly)

put them both behind your phone, pass one to your hand sort of through your scarf and slide it in your bag

pretend to read the other item decide you “don’t want it” and put it back which is literally all that looks like on camera and they can’t see you conceal behind the scarf I think it’s pretty fool proof I don’t go lifting without wearing one!

hope this helps X

bless u, clever lady

omg this is so great !!!! It’s like a magic trick tbh 

If only it was cold where I live

I just ordered a new scarf & poncho–girl you are a genius 🙌 So perfect!!! This would work for so many things! Thanks for the vid!

this is honestly so amazing

You a queen 👑

About kohl's...

Kohls is dangerous, yes. I’m here to reassure you guys that although it’s dangerous it’s still very doable if you’re smart about it I’ve been hitting 1 particular kohls for a good… 6 years? I started lifting at kohls when I was 11 lmao. I’ve been hitting 3 other kohl’s for 2 years now as well as my go to. LP are sneaky and tricky. But if you can outsmart them you can get away with INSANE amounts of shit at once.

Lemme give you a few tips. KOHL’S TIPS - ONLY conceal in the dressing room. - bring large jackets into the dressing room with you, several, anything with pockets. Stuff tags in the pockets of only 2 of them. — you start leaving the other jackets and stuff on racks. LP May think you’re pocketing the tags. They’ll check the pockets of the clothes you put back. So put back a ton of decoys first to throw them off your trail. - your phone is your best friend. Need to open a plastic container? Set off a ring tone and go “for fucks sAKE LEAVE ME ALONE” while removing packaging. Sound cover is important. Let it ring. - pretend to text when you’re anxious. Take a breath. You can do this. - use your phone camera to scan for people following you. The selfie function is a godsend to lifters. -kohls is littered with those mirrored support beams. Use them to check surroundings and for cameras around you. - if you see an SA in beauty, don’t bother lifting makeup. They’ll enforce having you buy any beauty products you take at the beauty desk. - wanna steal shoes? Go during busy hours. There’s usually shoes all over the place out of box on the floor. Grab the shoes you want from a box and replace them with the ones on the floor. Hide the shoes under some clothes. - don’t bother with the electronics. There’s safer places to get them with less risk. - dude it is so easy to steal the fucking candles don’t get me started. - conceal tags on your body and go into a bathroom. DON’T THROW THEM IN THE GARBAGE CAN IN THERE. Hide a few under the toilet seat. Don’t flush them. Tuck some behind the toilet. Wrap the small ones in toilet paper and spit on them or something so they look wet and then put them in the garbage can. It’ll be too gross to touch.

And My godsend technique that has an excellent fallback if caught… ♡♡♡ the bottom of kohls carts are black. The bottom third of the cart actually is usually black. Put some shit in the bottom of your card. Get a black silk robe or some kinda black shirt to cover it with and match the basket. Go check out and buy something off the clearance rack or some shit. You can spare the $5. Then leave with the cart. If lp tries to stop you and checks the cart you go “oh my gosh I forgot I put that down there to put back after I tried it on! Dangit that robe really blended in didn’t it oh gosh.”

I may update this periodically. But I gotta go back to work so.

Happy lifting ♡

Starbucks tip!

So this isn’t exactly lifting anything, but you do have to be sneaky. Starbucks coffee and k-cups have these little gold star tags on them in grocery stores, and if you have the app on you iphone/android you can enter these codes and earn a free star. So basically just sneakily get these little stars off the bagged coffee and enter them online here until you’re a gold member (30 stars) then you get a free food or drink every 12 stars. Happy drinking!

Hey guys, since this post blew up, I thought I’d give everyone an update and say that the program is changing. You used to just get one star for one code (or purchase) but now it’s going to be based on the price of the product. The concept is still the same, but you’ll get more stars for one code. Here’s the new requirements for the different levels. You can go to the Starbucks website to see the rewards for each level too.

Starting April 1

2 Stars per $1 spent 300 Stars to Gold level 125 Stars for a free reward

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!!!

keep reblogging this for visibility please!! i would have been caught if i didnt know about the speaker cam

Been looking for this 5eva

📢 PROOF THAT TARGET IS PUTTING RFID TAGS IN CLOTHING 📢

when i started lifting just a year ago, i didn’t even check for rfids at target. don’t do that! i know it has a reputation for being easy, so i feel this is something people may overlook.

i saw a post a couple weeks ago that target is putting rfids on clothing now. i went there for the first time on months today, so i checked. yep, there’s rfids on the clothing–even on panties!

the first picture is what the sticker looks like on the product. you can sort of see the telltale metallic circuitry in it. the second picture is a sticker i pulled off next to the tag it was stuck on–see, literally a pair of $5 target panties lmao. the last picture is what the rfid looks like when removed.

i know we all know to search for these tags, but it was still surprising to me that target of all places is using them. more stores are stepping up their game. check EVERY clothing item you steal thoroughly, regardless of where you’re stealing it from.

🐝ULTA POST🐝

HOW TO KNOW IF ULTA SUSPECTS U:

ok. You know an Ulta SA/MANG sus u IF

Ok before I start, Ulta SAs in my experience act like lil fuckin wannabe LP detectives so here I go

*They subtly follow you through aisles *They make eye contact with you whenever you look up *They CS the fuck out of you *Offer to put away items you have in your hands (rly fuckin weird) *They will whisper to the manager, the manager wears a lanyard so this is how you will know who the manager is *If they really sus u, they will announce *SECURITY SLINK* over the intercom *Will whisper to other SAs and ull know cause they all legit stare at u *An SA/manager will go to the back employee room, they are heading for cams so gtfo

Just get the fuck out if this shit happens lmao they wont approach u unless u beep so I mean it doesnt really matter but they will call the cops once they announce security so go go go. I guess this is all pretty common sense but still.
