I’ve asked a lot and no one ever answer but do barcodes set off anything? Like I’m scared to lift things because of barcodes and such and I’ve heard taking off the barcodes is bad so if you can help me I’d highly appreciate it thank you

i think people dont answer because this ask has become a meme around senior lifters tbh. once and for all:

BARCODES DO NOT SET OFF ALARMS

rfids do, tho, and i think that’s what probably trips baby lifters up and why this is such a common question.

THIS IS A BARCODE. ITS HARMLESS. LEAVE. IT. ON.

THESE ARE RFIDS. TAKE THEM THE FUCK OFF OR YOU WILL BEEP. IF YOU HOLD UP A BARCODE TO THE LIGHT AND SEE A MAZE-LIKE PATTERN SHINE THROUGH, THAT IS AN RFID !!!!

THESE ARE RFIDS/PUFFY TAGS, EVEN THOUGH THERE’S A BARCODE ON THEM. TAKE THEM THE FUCK OFF AS WELL, OR MUTILATE THE HELL OUTTA THEM OR YOU WILL BEEP.

how to shoplift (and see free movies)

If you like this, I'll make a super simple piracy tutorial.

Movies are simple. Purchase one ticket, and when your movie ends, just walk into another theater room.

Gas stations and dollar stores are weird because you're very visible. It really depends how much of a fuck the staff gives.

Bring company or a phone. You look like more of a normal shopper when your mom, partner, or friend is talking to you about salami. You can either wander and circle back or stay near them and "body conceal" — use their body to block your concealment of your item.

Know your store and the staff. Know camera placements. Know blind spots. My method? Pretend to browse, pick an item, hide it behind my phone or clothes I'm holding, and/or circle a shelf or aisle and slip it into my sleeve. If it's too big for my sleeve, hide it behind my phone and put my phone in my purse.

Let them see you with the targeted item as little as possible. Don't look worthy of attention. Don't seem super interested in the item you intend to take. Act fascinated by something else and then act dismissive and put it back. Misdirection.

DO NOT look like yourself (depends a bit on the store and it's target consumers, really). Generally, no subculture. Act like you can afford what you're looking at. Dress like a prep. Don't look like an anarchist or goth or grunge fan. Undercover loss prevention, sales associates, and cameras will target you if you look needy or alternative.

RFIDS EXIST. These are radio signal stickers that make the towers at the doors beep! You can buy deactivators online. You can also conceal on person or in bags and "casually" head to the bathroom or dressing room (hiding items in clothes you're going to try on is a good move) and remove packages. THIS WILL ALERT THE STORE THAT THEFT IS OCCURRING: DO IT CAREFULLY AND SPARINGLY, AND TRY TO HIDE THE PACKAGES YOU HAVE DISCARDED. DON'T LET THEM CONNECT THEM TO YOU. LET THEM SEE YOU WITH THE ITEM AS LITTLE AS POSSIBLE. YOU MUST BE DIFFICULT TO IDENTIFY AS A SUSPECT.

You can search for RFIDS by examining items as if checking the product details. Don't get greedy. If it's too hard to conceal or remove the RFID or packaging, DON'T TAKE IT. Some other store will have something easier and similar.

On-body concealment is best. In your underwear, down your pants, in your pockets. If you ever get stopped, they usually search your bag. This is also why it is important to, if you place items in your bag, to remove the packaging – there's no proof you stole it unless you're on camera.

Be calm. Act normal. Smile at associates. Pretend you're shopping normally.

BE IN AND OUT AS FAST AS POSSIBLE. BE FORGETTABLE. Busy seasons are great for this. Staff that don't care are great for this.

Hold your purse open by leaving one strap further up your arm and the other near your wrist. This avoids having to fight with it to insert items when concealing with your phone.

Many people "fake" by concealing items behind another, crouching to inspect items on low shelves, and dropping their real target into their boots, up their sleeves, or into their purses (which you can sit on the ground.) Just be aware of cameras.

It is suspicious to carry 8 items and suddenly not have them. It is less suspicious to put many of them back and swiftly conceal the real one you wanted.

Do not repeatedly go to stores. Give it time. Get new haircuts. If with company, let them pay. Being a "tag-along" makes you more invisible.

MAKE-UP AND ELECTRONICS HAVE HIGH SURVEILLANCE. I lift cosmetics either when I'm off the radar or have been carrying something small up my sleeve or in my hand around the store for a long time while shopping normally. Then I make it disappear.

Do not get greedy and overfill your bag. Do not shove things down your pants in the open store area (dressing rooms and bathrooms only) unless you KNOW YOU ARE IN A BLINDSPOT AND NOT BEING STALKED BY LOSS PREVENTION.

Don't stare at cameras or have shifty eyes. Don't seem nervous. You're just a normal shopper. Or that's your persona, anyway. To observe cameras, look out of your peripheral, or SCOPE THE STORE.

WHEN YOU LEAVE: Walk out with a crowd so they don't know who beeped. Talk to your friend. Be on a phone call. KEEP. WALKING.

Generally, this is all "magic trick" misdirection and using normal actions and behavior to not look like a shoplifter.

STORES WILL CASE BUILD. Most theft is a misdemeanor. They CAN log your crimes until you have reached a felony level.

Feel free to do new makeup, new outfits, new wigs, take new friends.

NOT ALL STORES ARE THE SAME. Sephora or Ulta puts RFIDS INSIDE PALETTES. BE CAREFUL.

Start super small. Take things that won't get you in trouble if you get caught. Practice staying calm. Don't linger in stores.

If at a mall, drop lifted items into bags from another stores. It's not weird to have bags from other stores in malls. Throw your reciepts away or do not accept them from cashiers.

KNOW YOUR AREA. Impoverished areas have higher security. Rich ones, not so much. Walmart? Tons of cameras. Hobby Lobby? .....weirdly easy.

Check state laws and store policies.

I do not care about the "moral code of lifting". Thrift stores, flea markets, and small business are incredibly easy to steal from. Sue me. I'm fucking broke and disabled. Don't feel comfortable doing that? Then don't.

To steal clothes: Wear baggy ones, sneak extras into dressing rooms (if they counted correctly, don't do this), de-tag in the dressing room, and wear the lifted garment underneath your normal clothes.

This is all about looking like an upstanding citizen, misdrection, never being a suspect, and bewaring RFIDs.

And remember: if you get caught, deny, deny, deny! Crocodile tears if you must! This works best when you're a kid, it's a first offense, you mention how difficult things are at home or with parents, and if the police are more merciful. This also helps if you're white. Especially a white girl. Unfair and fucked up, but it is what it is. POC, be careful.

IF YOU ARE A MINOR IN THE UNITED STATES: YOUR RECORD WILL BE WIPED WHEN YOU ARE THE AGE OF MAJORITY. AFTER YOU ARE AN ADULT, IT REMAINS. Be extra careful. It costs money to expunge these things.

And most of all...

Getting greedy is how you get caught.

fake nails when i was like 5 i assumee

reblog this with the first thing you ever stole

i’m interested to see how different/similar we all are

[crybabylyftr]

ridiculous long list of collected tips.

michael’s -no chase policy -cameras above the doors and registers -blind spots: knitting/embroidering, woodcrafts, paints, plants; avoid other customers -nothing is tagged -dress niceish -best if you go by yourself -go either an hour or two after opening or closing

victoria’s secret -no lp -bras are tagged, panties are not -no chase policy

terrible companies -too faced -lush -the body shop -urban outfitters -american apparel -whole foods -trader joe’s

starbucks -four cameras: over the door, over the safe, over the register & over the manager’s desk in the back. manager’s don’t have access to the camera footage; they can only access it after an ‘incident’ has occurred -no chase policy -watch out for other customers -bagged coffee and mugs make nice presents and are only inventoried once a month. -nothing is tagged -the fridge with juices and salads cannot be seen from the barista side of the counter. baristas not held liable for it -instant coffees are pretty good and there are cute mugs around christmas -don’t be a scumbag and steal from the tip jar jfc

general -double-check for secutiry tags -sensors inside cardboard tags in clothing -just double-check everything -if you’re lifting all day with your car, keep an empty gym bag in your backseat and dump stuff there in between stores -if the barcode is printed on the product and it is not a sticker, it won’t go off! -if you can, detag/conceal/etc in the men’s dressing room -bring your signifcant other and kiss them passionately if an SA is looking at you -grab two of everything you want - steal one and keep the other in the basket -be confident -don’t get cocky -be careful -if it feels wrong, put it back -browse openly -scope out the places beforehand -the umbrella method: close the umbrella most of the way and drop small items in it (pracitce at home!) -dress like a rich snobby white kid: skinny jeans with boots and a north face & infinity scarf

sephora -never just go in, lift and leave -look around and test out shades. have a question about stuff you’re looking at ready. -test everything. look interested in makeup and new to high end stuff -carry a bag from somewhere else that’s deep enough to shut at the top; ex. forever 21 bags -have a smaller purse and have like a hat or a pair of gloves or something (in the winter) that you can shuffle around in the bag so if an SA spots you mid-conceal or comes around a corner, etc, you can grab your gloves/hat/etc and put them on like you’re getting ready to leave the mall -listen to SA’s on their headsets. if you hear “so and so needs a bag”, drop and run -never lift from a jc penney sephora -if you lift from sephora and feel weird after, go to a place young people usually don’t go. then leave super hard. -it helps to be carrying something expensive with you, or wearing it. look expensive. have expensive taste. -if an SA asks you what you’re wearing for makeup now, always say something expensive. “nars sheer glow and a little bareMinerals powder” works for me. fake expensive taste. -don’t wear headphones. -don’t wear a beanie. -wear lipstick in a noticeable shade. wearing a bright bold lip will make it look you know what you’re doing. if you don’t, go in on a day you won’t be lifing and ask for a tutorial on how to do a lip. -wear heels. youll look classier. -take pictures of things. if an SA shows you an item, take a picture; you’ll look genuinely interested. -if you’re about to leave but feel like someone is onto you, stop and play with a foundation. ask for help finding your shade and ask for a sample. the whole process takes a really long time. act sincerely interested. talk about your current foundation (use an expensive one) and say it breaks you out a bit or dries you out. make it sound worse. have a whole conversation. -when leaving, do not look around at other people. do not. go from looking at a product, checking your phone/the time, then leave. this works well. fake a phone call! say “yeah, i’m just in sephora, i’m leaving in two seconds. where did you want to meet? okay! see you soon.” mentioning the store is pretty helpful. -be really nice.

ulta -some ultas use soft RFID tags on their palettes/expensive items -if there are no blind spots, you can make one by facing the opposite way of the camera, or standing behind a partner -wear something fashionable. do your makeup well. break out your brand-name items… look expensive. look like you can buy that whole store if you wanted to. -bring a big bag; one that has structure so that SAs can’t tell if it’s full or not. lots of lifters like the Michael Kors  Jet Set or Selma tote. -walk in; if you’re greeted say hello and smile back -grab an ulta shopping bag. place it in the crook of your elbow. leave your purse up by your shoulder until you can get to a blind spot. -test stuff! -put some stuff in your ulta bag! try putting two of the things you want so it’s not as sus. fill it up with items so it won’t be as noticeable on camera. -find your blind spot and move your purse to the crook of your elbow. conceal. don’t linger. -put the stuff you don’t want back! -if you have a bad feeling, ditch and go -perfumes are super tagged don’t even think about it -don’t park anywhere near it so they can’t track your plates after you leave, just in case -best time: weekday evenings and weekend afternoons -go to prestige and take like one minute, then pick out some random item, then get a shopping bag so it looks like you actually want things -have a question ready, ask for a product they don’t have -blind spots: high-end skincare aisle, low-end haircare aisle, clearance? -do your best to look nice and cute! confidence is key -if you’re not getting good vibes, it’s okay to leave!

old navy -nothing is tagged and there are no cameras??? -dressing rooms aren’t monitored

groceries -go to the biggest 24/7 grocery store and scope it out at like 3-4 am -get a small cart with 2 layers and put two big reusable grocery bags there, open. put your groceries in there while you shop. then just walk out -it’s important that you scope it out before actually going. make sure nobody is stationed at the doors at all times. -if you’re nervous and there’s nobody at the door, walk out looking at an old receipt like you’re looking at how much you spent or the taxes or whatever

urban outfitters -find a store that gives out large paper bags with those stringy handles. ask for a couple for a project on ‘branding’ or something. fill up like a quarter of the space to make it look normal. -there are magnet sensors -little items like books, home accessories, and jewelry can be carried in your hands; find a spot where no one can see you and just stuff what you want into your bag. corners are always good

lush -blindspot in the back of the store with the foot scrubs

for specific things -amiibos aren’t tagged -lift more cotton panties because all that polyester shit ain’t good for your lil gnome garden (via liftinglily)

office depot -nothing is tagged -nobody cares -cute stationary

gap -dressing rooms aren’t monitored -only some things are tagged

icing -no tags

claire’s -fake tags/no tags

sally’s beauty supply -no cameras -no-chase policy -between 5 and 8pm is your best shot -an hour or so after they open is the best time to lift something large; another person doesn’t come in until 10:30 or 11:00

lifting bag -large structured bag so that you can’t tell when it’s full or not

hot topic -the corners are good -bracelets are probably tagged

pier 1 -nothing is tagged -cameras are to monitor employee theft -nice candles, jewelry, scarves, stationary and trinkets

barnes & noble -cameras in toys/collectibles, the music/dvds, comics, the gift card/accessories area, and the sitting/reading area -good blond spot: classic lit -books are tagged sporadically -get a cup of coffee!!

PLEASE READ. quick reminders esp for newbie l1fters

i’m seeing a lot of baby l1fters on here which is great but they are also making some common mistakes which puts our community at risk! i’m not trying to be rude (i made some of these mistakes too when i started this account and people had to dm me to remind me lol) just trying to keep everyone here safe.

PLEASE don’t post with hashtags. don’t use #\lifting or whatever. please remember this is a public forum and you are posting yourself roleplaying illegal activity. tags make it easier to find your account.

hide your likes and following!! it makes it easier for people outside our community to find it - as one account can lead to many others by just looking at your likes and follow lists.

use that block button liberally. BLOCK ANYONE WHO FOLLOWS YOU AND IS NOT PART OF THE L1FTING COMMUNITY. for me - anyone i find somewhat suspicious. blocked. anyone with only one or two small posts related to l1fting. blocked. people with their follow or like lists open. blocked. as difficult and silly as it may seem that you will be doxxed or caught via tumblr, it is always a possibility. i will also block those who use their regular tumblr accounts to repost or post their l1fting content.

this one is obvious and should go without saying but just in case- censor shop names, don’t post hauls right away, and for fucks sake clarify you are ROLEPLAYING or just telling a story or whatever you want to say. people might think you’re actually carrying out illegal activity… which we all definitely are NOT.

let me know if you need any help with anything i said here, if you have any questions or anything to add. please please stay safe everybody.

[crybabylyftr]

guys I haven’t gone to the store in forever. I need to lyft something NOW.

[crybabylyftr]

PLEASE BE AWARE: PEOPLE IN THIS COMMUNITY ARE STILL AT RISK OF BEING DOXXED

This is a post from an anonymous imageboard called ļolçöw. This is the information that a single person was able to gather on just ONE person from our community (along w the vague location of another).

KEEP IN MIND:

Despite what you might believe, THIS INFORMATION WAS NOT GATHERED BY MEANS OF HACKING OR ANY MEANS THAT WERE OUT OF THE CONTROL OF THE PERSON THEY ARE TARGETTING.

What we are doing is ILLEGAL. It is AGAINST THE LAW and whatever we put on public blogs can be sought and used by any person for any reason. Even if that reason is tracking down your real life identity.

I have chosen to censor the urls of the people who this post was targetting, but it is ultimately UP TO YOU to make sure you aren't doxxed in this situation. Whether or not you think shòpĺifting/fŕiendly fŕaud is a moral issue, it is against the law and there are people who will use the information you CHOOSE to put on your public blogs and use them against you.

I'm not even going to go into the fact that one of the people namedropped here in the post very stupidly posted a selfie on their account and how dangerous that is for them, because that is on THEM, and it ultimately only affects them.

I'm not active in this community anymore but I do still lurk and I do still look out for people who may be in danger of getting doxxed. but just be aware that it is ultimately in your hands to exhibit web safety.

If you don't want this to happen to you, I'd suggest following these tips that I don't see mentioned a lot

REMOVE METADATA from all photos you post. This is a no brainer but a LOT of people don't follow this no matter how much it's posted.

Don't post the names of stores you ĺift from that are extremely specific to the area you live in/near.

Don't overshare on your blog. I know we can feel very comfortable in this community, but there are rats everywhere. Nobody NEEDS to know your personal living situation, when your moving, where to, where you've lived in the past, etc.

Sorry for the super long post, but this is surprisingly a very common issue in this comm nowadays. As someone who's been here since ~2015, it sucks that people STILL don't know the basics of web safety and keeping your identity a secret. It's really not that hard.

[crybabylyftr]

does anybody have any beginner 🧬 tips ??

[crybabylyftr]

IF UR ACTIVE as of dec2024 please reblog!!🩷🩷

[crybabylyftr]

Tips I’ve picked up that always work

Never gotten caught with these bad boys

-Cup trick: where you take a not clear cup, like a coffee cup, and while walking around the store drop small items into your (clean and empty!) cup. 

-Elastic belt trick: take a piece of elastic from the sewing store (the good kind) and tie/sew it around your waist. Make sure it fits, but is not tight! Then, wear a semi-baggy jacket (It’s that time of year!) and when you conceal, do it on your person by sneaking this to fit snuggly into that elastic band

-The inflatable bag: Take a very large ziplock or two, depends on the bag size, and blow them and stick them in your bag to make it look full. Then, while in a blind spot, as you put things in slowly deflate the bag to make it look proportionally as full as it was when you left. 

-The Big Boots: take a large pair of non-sus knee high boots. make sure you can fit like, half your arm in the boot, because its so roomy. you know what I’m taking about. As you “shop”, drop things like jewelry, makeup, small packs of condoms, stickers, buttons, you know the drill. It may get uncomfortable in your shoe, but eh. Worth it, right?

Some (un)common knowledge:

-If you’re gonna lift clothes then for petes sake look at the price tag before you hold it up to your body or take it to the dressing rooms

-Don’t lift nail polish by putting up your sleeve it will fall out and break and BAM you’re caught

-Putting something between your thighs as a way of lifting is really hard because you have to walk out perfectly normal

-If you get shaky hands or get really nervous, pull out your phone and pretend to call/text someone to meet you at the store. This way, when you leave without buying anything, it looks like you went outside to find your friend

-Dont start pulling out your goods in the parking lot. Rookie mistake here. Wait until you get in your car with doors locked and windows rolled up. Even better, wait till you’re at home. 

-Scope the store out a couple of days before you lift

-Trust your gut

-Try to avoid backpacks; instead go for a purse type thing. Easier to slip things in

- Don’t try to avoid LP. Ask at them only one or two times, if you make eye contact with them, just smile and wave. If you think someone is watching you, go up to Lp and ask shit like “do u have wet n’ wild mascara? Is there any pink ribbon here? What foundation tone should i use?” Seem interested while they talk. But don’t get too friendly. 

-Be cautious and observant but not paranoid and jumpy

-if you get a bad vibe, leave with what you’ve already concealed. Not getting your hair dye is better then getting a fine.

-Lifting while wearing a skin tight sundress is hard mode. 

-Barcodes don’t set off alarms unless theres a RDIF under it so check!! 

-If you cant afford a hook or magnet, then use a seam ripper for what you can. If you don’t mind small holes in clothes, that is. 

Anything else to add?

[crybabylyftr]

!!!NOT WRITTEN BY ME!!! found this from a deactivated blog and it's super helpful

1) sensormatic tag: don’t know the exact tag name but ik that’s a sensormatic and that one requires a hook.

2) sensormatic tag: hook

3) sensormatic: magnet

4) sensormatic: hook

5) sensormatic pencil tag: hook

6 & 7) gator: magnet or rubber band/hair tie

8) clam/UFO: magnet

9) some kind of sensormatic: magnet

10) these fucking suck and idk what they’re called but they require a lot of twisting and tugging and maybe a magnet? Not completely sure. You can probably cut the wire but idk if that’ll trigger an alarm. It depends

11-16) pencil tags: magnet

17) clam tag/dome tag: magnet

18-23) clam/dome: magnet

🕸🕸🕸🕸🕸🕸🕸🕸🕸🕸🕸

**an easy way to remember types of tags and removal is this:

•the more rectangular, thin, vertical ones are pencil tags

•the ones that are flat and rectangular with a small hole on the side and are curved are for hooks

•dome shaped tags and square shaped tags and tags with those bumps on them are for magnets. They’re magnetic and held together with a pin that the magnet pulls off

•those ugly yellow ones that have the little pyramids are gator tags and require bands of some sort and a magnet helps

•most ink tags (not pictured in this post but will say ink tag and be clear and have visible ink in them usually) require magnets but sometimes bands

The first few are weird mutant shapes and not quite pencil or dome but the brand is sensormatic and their tags always require a hook or magnet
