i used to steal a lot of books. it was easiest in winter since i could wear more clothes. i'd just slip them into my pants. if i had a big shirt i could steal a stack of expensive hardcover books. if the alarm went off, i'd just keep walking. they're not allowed to stop you in most cases.

I stole candy all the time when I was in middle school and sell it to kids for $3.50
Good times.
What was your strategy OP?

Smaller items i could usually just slip into my pocket as i was walking or "looking around". if i ever nabbed anything bigger than say, a deck of cards, i would use a little messenger bag thing with some (often) sweaty gym clothes in it so i could cover stuff up inside

how on earth did you manage to walk normally with hardcover books stuffed in your shirt?

Never because I'm not a nigga..

honestly sometimes i ended up waddling, which was real awkward if the alarm went off and it was obvious i was stealing. i'd just keep moving, never got stopped. i see people walking out of stores like that sometimes and i know what's up. in most states a number of conditions have to be met before they can stop you, like they have to see you actually select and conceal things.

When I was six, I use to steal Yugioh cards from stores.

I used to work at Lowes that was located near the ghetto and saw black people stealing shit all the time. This one time, some nignog decided to flash a piece of paper at the cashier and walk out with some big ass box. Of course the towers went off and the cashier Josh never put up with that shit so he tried to corner him. The nignog freaked out and lunged past Josh and somehow Josh almost got fired over it.

Didn't even try to be sneaky. Just casually pushed my cart to my truck and left.

I did like 2 months ago do you think it will bite me in the ass

thats what i have heard is the case, that they have to see you stuff something in order to stop you/check you out.. I think some places, even if they DO see you they cant actually confront you unless it's worth a certain amount

how did you have the thoughts as a 6 year old how to swipe stuff?

When i was in highschool i would steal a handle of vodka from rite aid every weekend. When i would get caught i put it down and ran out, the security guys couldn't try to grab you.

Then you go to a different rite aid and rinse/repeat. Good times.

Not him. But I stole Yugioh cards from toys r us all the times.
It's not complex thoughts, just "I want that." Put it in your pocket

I stole a wallet before. That's it.

Also did car hopping. Made about 400 dollars every 2 weeks doing it on the weekends. Used it to buy weed. I wrote that car hopping guide that still floats around Sup Forums.

What the hell is car hopping I never heard of it

Ive taken gum, sun flower seeds and other small stuff from wallgreens and cvs pretty easy with little thought just like another user said "i want that"(puts in pocket) and no im not a nignog and yes i can afford the shit i took just wanted the rush, might do it again

thats fair, i guess i just get a little nervous sometimes so it's weird to me to think that a little kid could have the sense of mind to do something. I'm sure it's not malicious intent though, just "i want that" like you said

I hate shoplifters. When I worked in retail, the amount of shrink (basically dollar value of stolen goods) the store had in one month affected how many hours of labor the store is allowed to use the following month. We even had a mandatory reduction in staff members because it got so bad. 2 people got laid off because of it, and one of them killed himself 2 weeks later.

When I was in retail I was in charge of shipping for a store. It was very easy to fill a box with merch (books, DVDs, CDs), ship it to my place, then alter the shipping log. I got thousands of dollars of merch and was never suspected.

I used to go into a supermarket and fill a rucksack full with goodies.
I first did it because I was poor as fuck and hungry, then I realized there was no cameras, no security and the shop was so shit no one was watching me.
In the end of my stint there I used to go in and fill my rucksack full of booze, to sell and to get fucked up with.
Also got arrested with a rucksack full of booze and the police didn't say anything.
(arrest was for drunk related crime, and I had a warrant)
Damn my teenage years was degenerate.

I have shoplifted more shit but i cant be fucked to add it all here.

In the PetSmart I used to work at, the district manager was so worried about people playing the race card and us getting sued, we were quite literally told to never call the cops or stop anything. I was talking with my manager to clarify and I asked him, "So people can literally walk in here and take anything they want with us watching and we just have to let them go? We can't call the cops or anything?"

Fucker said nope. We couldn't do shit. I wish I was making this up. Pissed me off so much. It would literally drive me insane to see some of these fuckers who I LITERALLY watched put shit in their pockets and wasn't allowed to do shit.

Used to print out a couple Barcodes for 2 lb bag of sugar then go and get a 2lb bag of chicken nuggets. Scan sugar barcode, drop down nuggets. Self check out goes by weight. Used to get lots of things like this

...

damn, that seems like they might catch on some time seeing so many labels go out to the same place.

was it a big store? I hate shoplifters too but hey i'm a huge hypocrite. I only ever target big stores though, never anything smaller than like a Wal-mart or a regional grocery chain.

ive heard that, seems to be why most stores have employees supervising the self-checkouts now

singles - fap
dubs - go to sleep
trips - buy two hookers for a threesome, tonight

Ah yes I see now, I've heard of that but didnt know the name

>using nigga instead of nigger

Nigger confirmed, tell us what you've stolen now

No one ever saw anything, that was the beauty of it. It was just a paper logbook from FedEx. If there were no other shipments that day I'd box up my stuff just before the FedEx guy came, then tear the page out of the logbook. No one ever audited the book so no one noticed the missing pages.

Thats pretty fucking hilarious.
I knew so many kids growing up that would steal those. It was never pokemon either. it was always yugioh.

Ive tole a couple of blacklight bulbs from walmart, partly because of the price.

Also stolen a couple of CD's and several bottles of soda, took them and drunk them, acting like I bought it in from outside.

The Walmart in my town only has cameras at the pharmacy and the electronics, and they have quite a few blindspots

ah, the beauty of analog paperwork. im surprised you were able to print your own custom labels. most stores ive seen just have the address and everything from the order and it just comes up automatically.

Ha! No, home office just supplied us with adhesive labels, six to a sheet, and we'd fill out the receiving address by hand. This was less than a decade ago, too. Some companies just don't get with the times that well.

Nope but work at home depot.
Almost all cameras but 4 or 5 are fake - and there is literally like 200 of them.

Anyways these dudes from nightcrew - they work mostly 9pm-6am. These 2 dudes That used to come in at night just got caught stealing a few months ago. They loaded up expensive tools and hardware in trash cans, put the cans outside, and picked them up in the morning. They then sold them online. Turns out they had stolen over a hundred thousands dollars worth of merchandise over two years and never got caught till now.
Shit amazes me that it took so long.

Anyways yeah find empty packages nearly every day that was stolen - usually stupid cheap shit. Maybe once a month Im asked to follow someone around because theyre known theives. Yeah they hit us up multiple times.
One tweaker stuffed an electric dog fence down his pants, and we can only stock 1 of certain items at a time cus methheads steal them and use them to cook.

this seems way too risky, and more like an actual crime than taking stuff from stores. Shoplifting at least has some sort of plausible deniability "oh i got that from another store" or "oh damn i got a phone call and must have absentmindedly stuck it in my pocket when i answered"

I would hang all of you faggot niggers. Even the 6 year old stealing cards. You have no idea how much I enjoy seeing you fucking losers crying like complete pussies when you get caught.

>my morals are more important than your well being

Retailfag here, we're not aloud to touch anybody nor their belongings even if we saw them steal, we can only ask which is proceeded by a fuck you and them walking out with the irem (s)

It's when you break into cars and take things

>highschool
>local store full of students during the long break
>too many for security to handle
>eat sandwich and leave package on shelf
>buy drink normally

I know a dozen people who also did this almost every day.

Yup. Do anything to stop them and it opens up the store to liability issues.

it would be smarter to jam the remote with a cheap walkie talkie and hope the owner doesn't notice

eurofag thieves have been doing this successfully for a decade

typical frequency is 433.925Mhz in europe but idk about us

Ditto on the candy when I was about 11 or 12, but only for personal use. A few pieces at a time.

I paid for 6 months of rent by stealing drones and magic ninjas from target. 7 drones (599) and 22 magic ninja food processors (199). All within the first 2 weeks of December of last year.

Grab them
Put them in reusable shopping bag
Walk straight to Starbucks
Buy a coffee.
Wait for a crowd or family to leave together
Blend in
Sprint to my car

I "shoplifted" a hand gun

I've heard about people doing that with shit like TVs, because if there is no one checking receipts, who is gonna think someone is crazy enough to casually walk out of a store blatantly stealing a TV?

My dumbass friend shoplifts on a daily basis at the same store

i snagged an overwatch code out of the box at walmart the other day

not really thought it was gay saw other people do it
prefered armed robberies for the adrenaline.
ah the wonder years

ITT: Op is undercover LP manager trying to coax out secret shoplifting techniques. Nice try normie scum

Me too, Sig P226 from a gun show.

Heard that too they do exist, but security can`t do shit knew that worked in a K mart RIP
They just told him let him go let him go
they guy had this big ass flat screen into his car
he wanted to play the cop security but nope.jpg

*if you get caught

...

>used to save old bags from stores at the mall
>put a random article of clothing in it to make it look like I purchased something
>walk around the mall pretending to browse and shove as much as I could into the bag
>go to the car to unload bag and go back in for round 2

my friends and I used to go to every mall within a radius and steal thousands worth of clothing and accessories easily

You all better be niggers talking about stealing. If not, you can stfu about making fun of niggers.

Probably a noob in the force been trolled by either cops or security guards.
see what methods they use OP while laughing behind his back thinking what a fucking douche.
if true you have my respect that is kinda hard to pull

Any LP manager worth his pay already knows all of the supah sekrit tricks

nigga if you ever worked in a big store you'd know that a shit load of unsold products end up in the trash
some cunt stealing a shirt or a candy bar makes absolutely no difference

go fuck yourself you fucking thieving nigger

ive been stealing magic the gathering boxes from Walmart, like the big $50 ones, I just put it in my cart and walk out with it. I usually only take one at a time, though I have snagged five at once before. I don't play the game but I sell the boxes for 35-40 bucks to the kids that do, usually buy weed with that money, then sell the weed.

fuck it im bored

>implying who was the people crying on this ?
you cuck

I used to do it alot when I was a teen like 15-17, and I was damn good at it. would steal from walmarts, convience stores and anywhere I wanted really. its suprisingly easy

got caught when I was 17 though because my friend who was with me tried to steal a guide book for a game and got us both caught.

also this thread is now about no mans sky
pic related my ship

EGGHEAD LIKES HIS BOOKY BOOKS!!!

Its stupid to shoplift because you can get caught even if youre a pro at it. do what i do and replace the barcode and resell the item unopened.

I've stolen alcohol and candy when I was younger.

During my 2 year stint at the sweatshop amazon warehouse I'd steal all sorts of shit off the shelves. They had fake cameras on every single aisle. As long as it wasn't made of metal you could walk out with it. I'm sure I stole thousands worth of shit. As far as stores go, the biggest tip is to get in and get out as fast as possible. I'd go directly to where the product was, pocket it almost instantly and walk straight out. If anyone is watching cameras they won't have the means to react fast enough to do anything.

It was really sketchy, it all had to happen very quickly: wait until the seller was occupied elsewhere, grab the gun and put it in my waistband and leave immediately. Surprisingly there was nothing in the local news or newspaper about a missing gun at a gun show.

Woah josh from lowes???

I had a friend who would steal those flats of redbull(24) from the local FasGas almost every time we went in there and he'd sell them for 2 bucks a can at school, they were stacked right next to the door so he just had to grab one and walk out the door while the clerk was grabbing our cigars

I once downloaded a car

How does it feel being a failed police officer at best and powerless walking lawsuit as worst?

i always get nervous when i take longer than a few minutes but im pretty good at acting like im just browsing through the store or checking items on my phone. Usually after i stuff something i'll act like they just didn't have what i was looking for or that i decided against it. walk out of the store pretending to be answering/making a phone call so no one feels like they can bother you.

sometimes ill just tack it on to an actual purchase so i actually go through the checkout and seem like a legitimate customer.

Was with a really good friend of mine a few years back and we were at the old school videogame shop that solday gameboy games and shit. We were just looking and when we walked away he surprised us all with a pokemon game. Nigger stole 5 gameboy games without us realizing and we were standing right next to him the whole time.

Used to do this shit except not at rite aid cause rite aid always beeped at me when i stole alcohol

> be me, 5 year old fag
> caught in the act
> despite getting in trouble, realize I enjoy it and continue
> still me, but now oldfag
> want stuff, but don't want to pay, so walk right through the door.
> like modern survival of the fittest, if I get out with it, it's mine, no guilt.
> found qt3.14 that is sympathetic, we're perfect together
> qt3.14 out "shopping" recently
> yada yada yada, she got herself a new shirt and got me a pretty sweet razor.
> qt3.14 walked right through the door with them
> mine all mine
> be us recently, sitting around a haul of booty, waving it around, laughing at our success
> and we did it just like that

I knew a guy who worked as a loss prevention consultant.
He'd walk into a shop, steal thousands of dollars worth of stuff within minutes, then take it all back and get them to hire him. The shit he got away with....

I remember him walking out of a surf shop with 4 surfboards and 8 pairs of sunglasses. How the fuck does no one notice that??

That's the most retarded store policy ever created.

Loss prevention fag here. I'd been working here alone for a while, manager transfered a little bit ago and haven't had a replacement yet. I coordinated with a previous guy that worked here to help me steal a couple of tvs. I know all the blind spots on cameras. I moved them to the spot for my friend to get another day, without the cameras seeing me. Sure enough day comes for him to move them from the easy ass stashed spot out the fire escape door, he chimps out and we don't get tvs.

> Old enough to buy cigars
> Still in high school as a legal adult
> Stealing red bull

Story checks out.

It's a pretty common policy among large corporate stores.

as a kid i used to steal gun from a store

I'm 19. I have no desire to be a police officer. This is just an okay paying job getting me through college. So it feels pretty good.

wrecked

when i was in my early teens i used to smoke alot of weed so i walways went into the shop and stole 3x 6 packs of Sandwich Ice cream at a time for me and my friends to munch, i used to wear a baggy hoodie and stick them inbetween my belt, good times.

...

How do I steal shit

Ruff ruff

>shirt
*skirt

what.

>around 13
>at a flea market with the parents
>sees something i like
>people around me
>takes it and puts it in my pocket
>people are looking at me
>feels shitty
>puts it back

Go in a shop look around for a blindspot go pick 2 items if it small. And then go to the blindspot put 1 item in pocket go but the other item back on shelf and walk out

Nothing to it. If LP is there you're ass is grass. If the lp office is empty that day, you're golden. Just luck of the draw I guess.

Really? You lose so much in merchandise that corporate cuts staff, all but ensuring that more merchandise is stolen?

Two laptops from Walmart n black friday

> *skirt
* shirt

Yup. Gotta maintain certain levels of profitability.

So, how did you do that?

I've been a mall cop for about 15 years now. Cushy job, love it... most of it is telling teenagers to move along or calling the real cops if shit goes down.

Anyways, loss prevention is a joke. Unless I actually see someone pick something up and leave the store without paying, I can't do jack. I have to maintain perfect line of sight at all times... even if I lose them for a few seconds in the shop, I legally can't do a thing.
