Y’all watch out for this device in fitting rooms.

ALSO, people are posted after visibly being seen concealing on floor. If dressing rooms are an option, it almost guarantees you won’t get caught. An S.A. can be suspicious of you, but they won’t say anything unless they have proof or saw you take something.

PSA

Just a reminder to GOOGLE “*insert state, city* shoplifter/stealing” because stores, news, and police will post photos of people in the act of shoplifting in an effort for someone to identify the shoplifter.

I mean, it obviously won’t change anything if you see your picture, but you’ll know not to return to the store and to put a halt on your shoplifting either temporarily or permanently.

I’ve seen it happen so often in my hometown, a lot of the time, the suspect isn’t identified. Just be careful and happy lifting.😊

Hi! So yesterday I lifted a necklace from Anthropologie and today when I took it out off the small amount of packaging it had, like most necklaces have, THERE WAS A SENSOR INSIDE THAT. did I just get lucky that it didn’t go off?! Literally no sound when I walked out.

You got lucky, for sure. ALWAYS take those little papers off necklaces because they typically have RFIDs in them.

any tips on lifting untagged vs panties?

Grab some and put them in the shopping bag they give you, put some clothing in there too, but do that last so they can’t see all of the undies. Ask for a dressing room. Conceal, preferably layer them under your clothes and wear sweat pants, so that on the off chance that they apprehend you, they won’t know you stole them because you’ll be wearing them.

This damn country😒

I haven’t even lifted in a few years because I’m over the age of 18 and can’t afford to go to jail over it.

I’ve been working my ass off, going to school 20 hours a week, spent months trying desperately to find a job. Most places wouldn’t hire me because of the fickelty of my school schedule and the annoyance of working around it. I finally found a job at a store that is willing to work around my school schedule. I go to doctors appointments to treat my manic depression and have medical bills every time I turn around. I literally can’t afford anything, let alone food. I’ve been scraping change for ramen noodles for months and live off of that and cheap $1 frozen veggies that taste like asshole. Have I lifted anything? No. I finally sucked up the courage to apply for food stamps. I got told I’m an ineligible student because I have to make at least $200 a week and I make $30 less than that each week. So I guess I’m too broke to qualify for food stamps? I feel so defeated because i have been trying so hard to make my life better. Going to school so I can have a stable, meaningful job and I quit lifting for the sake of my future, but I can’t name how many times I’ve wanted to lift some damn meat or real food bc I’m sick of living off of ramen and frozen peas. I just needed to vent somewhere, I guess.

Lifting like👀

Hey I work at f21 and I jus wanna say that if yall detach magnets, PLEASE close them when hiding them in pockets of jeans. Literally people don't know and they pull the jeans up and the needles are sticking out and they slice up the person(s)'s thighs. ALSO DONT use fake credit cards because you're putting the employee's job on the line. (aka me cause it just happened to me and someone scammed me and I might get fired (it was A LOT of money)). thank you.

I didn’t know people didn’t close tags. SO PLEASE never do that. Plus, you should always lock it into the pocket so it doesn’t fall out anyways.

If you use fake credit cards or do scams, you’re a pos anyway.

Hi I was wondering if you have ever been caught after an item the is more then $60 days, weeks or even months after you did it? A friend stole something from a retail store and is very paranoid that he’ll get caught after the incident even if he never returns to the store

I’ve never been caught at all, but I’ve seen local police departments post pictures on the news of shoplifting suspects. If you’re that afraid, I’d only stick to concealing in unattended dressing rooms.

Hey darling, I was hoping you could help me with something?! There’s a store at the mall that doesn’t have any of those security pole things by the door, but lots of the stuff is still tagged anyway. Can these tags even go off if I leave the store without those tag detectors? Are they fake maybe? Would an alarm sound if I cut through the wire of the tag? Thanks so much in advance for your help, you are an absolute QUEEN!

Some stores have them above the door way. I’ve seen them at a few Victoria’s secrets. I’ve also seen stores without them. I’d never leave a store with something that’s tagged either way, tbh. I’d recommend cutting it off if it’s tagged in a place where a tiny hole wouldn’t be noticeable.

At Family Dollar if you touch two of the sticker tags together they cancel out and won't set off alarms. I worked at a store and my manager told me to never put a security sticker on top of another one, or let them touch because they won't work anymore.

That’s cool to know, but I still don’t wanna take that risk with my luck.😂

hey! does nail polish usually beep or is tagged? it's the only thing I'm rlly comfortable lifting rn but I'm always scared that it'll beep

I’ve never seen any that’s tagged

Do you know anything about scars and if they make you stand out? I don't have any on my face, but I have some pretty deep scars on my arms and legs. I usually don't cover them up because I'm just lazy but I know how to with makeup. Do you think I should?

It depends on if they normally draw attention. No one is going to look at you and think you’re lifting, but people may stare at you. I’d say that you shouldn’t have to go through the hassle of covering them up, but if you don’t want extra attention then you could.

Hey, liftblr.

I haven’t been on in nearly a year, but wanted to see how y’all are doing.😊

I don’t really lift anymore because I have too much at stake since I’m over 18, in a program at college, etc.

I do go through self check out during the day when it’s busy and lift my dogs some food, though.😂 this is what my lifting has come down to.

Anyways, let me know how y’all are doing!

liftingandliving :

Please reblog lifters

To anyone who has gotten caught and was handcuffed, fingerprinted, given a court date and etc. (the whole shabang)

Please please please message me how it went.

I’m really nervous and a little reassurance from the community will go a long way. Idk what to expect with the court date and if it will be on my permanent record.

Don’t get this sloppy lmao

Highlight of my boosting career

One time, I went to Belk and lifted a purse and a few Columbia jackets, then I went to Dick’s Sporting Goods and lifted 2 Northface jackets and boosted all of it for around $300.

That night, I went to a casino with that money and blew all of it but $20. I was walking towards the door and one of the ladies that bought a Northface jacket from me was on a game and was waiting for an attendant because she won $5,000. I hopped on the game in front of hers with my last $20 and kept winning over and over. A bunch of people were behind me, waiting for me to hop off of the machine because it was so hot. I ended up leaving with $3,000.

So, that’s my story of how I flipped $300 into $3,000 without technically spending any money.😂😂😂
