Yeah that's right. You could theoretically just walk out the store with a soda or something. I say theoretically because there are cameras everywhere and the stores security would probably get ya then again some stores really couldn't give a crap xD

Booking it will lead to them knowing you stole.
Just stuff that shit in a pocket/store bag/back pack.

New technique:

you want an item from wal-mart but they only have one on the shelf?

requirement: 2 seperate wal-mart's have 1 each of a high dollar value item

buy item from wal-mart 1

take item to wal-mart 2 with receipt, like you are going to return it to get the sticker the greeter gives you

wailk around and then leave, telling the greeter the receipt was over 90 days old and they wouldn't take it.

Now you have the receipt, item, and a return sticker

go back inside the other door and pick up the exact same item

take it to customer service with recpeit and return sticker and return it for a full refund

you now have item for free

anyone else done this before?

[Hephaestus]

that seems like a great plan, the only flaw i can think of is if the item ur stealing has a magnetic strip in it. but if u plan on stealing something that does not, i dont see how it could go wrong.

[LlevirulZ]

Would like getting the stuff into my pockets when the clerk isn't looking then just buy a 50 cent thing of gum. That way they dont get suspicious.

Here's Two Easy Ways, But They Require Purchasing Something and Work best when it's really busy;

01-Go back To the Shoe Department, pick a pair of shoes you want, with a thick box that has a top thats hard to open and close, preferably the kind of box with two seperate pieces, then take the shoes out and act like your trying them on, then fill them up with small items you want to steal, put all the paper stuffing back in them and push the lid down, then when you check out pick a line that's mad busy and the cashier will be in too much of a hurry to yank the box apart and check inside.

02-This one is really simple, but actully works, go to walmart's and buy a pack of gum or something and get the recipt and trow it in a bag. then go around the store and fill the bag up with tons of non-alarmed stuff, and go up to a different register with recipt and filled bag in hand to buy another pack of gum or something, flash the recipt at them and say you already payed for the one bag, and just forget the second item your purchasing, most of them don't care enough to take the recipt and review it.

P.S.-Even the cheep condoms and Razors have Alarm Activation strips in them becuse they are commonlly lifted

[bloodlusta]

the only problem with the first one is the fact that you have to buy the shoes, so its not one you can keep doing.

another good trick is to have another shops bag and you just put stuff in that and staff don't notice.

[iglo1234]

1.go into store
2.get cart
3.put stuff you want in cart walk around
4go behind display
5.stuff things in pocket buy 2-3 cheap things

do not put to much stuff in pockets if it is noticible
then your gonna get caught

only works with small items like candy and such

i've done it many times, i stopped cause the guys i stole with got caught on camera and kicked out

[Darkshadow666]

Has anyone got a way to steal something heka expensive... like a new gaming laptop? Mine broke and i aint got the cash for a new one.

[ReDemption]

ive stolen maybe 50 walkmens, paintball guns, GPSs, and countless other things back when i was in high school. But now i wont even steal gum, i just know how easy it is to get caught now, but back in the day i was unstoppable i made walmart my bitch. But i got caught twice back before i was 18 so its off my record now.

[ninxerotix]

One of my basic hustles...
1 of the easiest ways to make money is at walmart or one of those types of places(where they check your receipt at the door)...and there are a few different ways of doing this so whichever one your comfortable with or are able to successfully find enough ppl you trust.

First, You have to have money to make money...understood I think...Well...actually all that is required is a receipt.
Well, there are different variations of this for diff stores and ammounts of ppl able to help out.
You can either use a receipt you already have or buy something relatively easy to carry which is expensive. now, you will understand this later down the line, but you want something you can sell online easily and make the most money...usually electronics or something.
NOW, you can choose to do singular or multiple hustles in this instance if you haven't bought anything yet. If you already have the receipt you can still do it, its just a little bit harder sometimes.
IF YOU START OUT WITHOUT A RECEIPT- 2 or 3 ppl required. First person walks in the store and purchases the item. Walk out of the store with it. if there are camera's in the store you only need 2 ppl. In a camera situation you give your trusted friend outside the receipt and have him walk in to grab the item. And when he walks out of the store, you have 2 items, 1 you can return(at your time of choice) for your full refund, the other for sale online. In a non camera situation you can have a friend out side and inside already and make the receipt exchange at two points so you can't both be seen together making the switch.
If you want to make more money this is where you can hustle when you already have ur receipt. Now, over here in the US they give you a sticker everytime you go to return something, at some stores they are even as detailed as the item code, name, and price. No problem, they put them on the package so the store associates can take them off easily. Go into the store with the package, as soon as you get your sticker, find a smooth way to remove it from the package. I stick my stickers on an ID or credit card so it doesn't stick to anything. Walk back out with the package. Walk back in moments later with the sticker and receipt, go put a sticker on the package in the store and go to customer service if you want to return that one, if not, leave the store and sell one online and try it another day again. Once you start you can literally make one receipt pay ur bills forever. Find something electronic that's easy to sell online and not too bulky and you can make 100+ a day. Its awesome too because most chains of stores carry the same products at all of them, so you can actually change stores daily. I've been makin 300+ some days. Just avoid attention, make sure you don't visit the same store too frequently, always have the receipt with you, don't steal other shit while you're doing this. If you aren't using a shopping bag, make sure you can carry it without it being gaudy, and stay safe(watch for loss prevention always, but don't get paranoid)! The bigger the city the better!!! And remember, the customer is always right.
If you want to learn more of my hustles for makin money give me a PM.

[ninxerotix]

Also, I've been caught with thousands worth of shit in my hands before...if you get caught...MAKE SURE you're not dumb enough 2 keep shit in ur pockets when ur about 2 get searched. The store employee's can't search you, only a pig... while on ur way to loss prevention, dump shit out you may have stupidly put in your pockets. make sure the cameras can't see you doing it. But I pride myself in never putting things in my pockets, cuz if you get caught, you're evidence is already on you. If you carry it out of the store in your hands, who the fuck is gonna question you??? especially if you have a receipt... And always stick to the same story if you get caught... you can't pay for it, you don't know anyone that could pay for it for you, you never were gonna steal anything. I've gotten caught with no money and because I went up and acted like I wanted to apply for an instore credit card I was let go by the cops cuz I told them I was planning on buying it. And my story is"i couldn't get the approval for the card because I don't have my ID on me." Which leads me to my next thing. I never keep my wallet on me(or anything in my pockets) cuz i don't like cops going through my shit. Empty pockets, and if you have a car key, hide it in a shoe or sock or somewhere they won't check. I've split belts and put keys in them before. Cuz if they think you're stealing and your car is outside...they might go through it. Always tell them someone dropped you off or you're walking. Then when they let you go, walk around the area, but not in their sight, until they leave the store, or have someone pick you up and get ur car later. And always do this sober, if you're dumb enough to steal while ur impaired...u deserve to get caught... good luck

[squat251]

first, i dont condone stealing, but since this is the topic of choice heres a few things i learned from some of my old friends

#1, dont dress like your gothic, or a rapper, or anything, try to blend as much as posible.

#2, if you do decide to go goth, use those big pointless boots to help you, use a hack saw to cut the sole of them about halfway starting from the heel, useing a knive or a chisel or what ever, cut a little pocket in there (depending on the size of your ungodly boots heel, you would be surprized the things that will fit) now take a tack and use a vice to crush the plastic off, heat the blunt end up and stick it into the rubber of the bottom back part of the heel so that the point is up, now you have a hinged boot, that if done right is damn hard to see, go to the bathroom and load it up.

#3, the same thing can be done with the platform sandals that girls wear sometimes (if your a girl of course)

#4, try not to steal anything super expencive ie, ipods, cameras, handheld games, that sort of thing unless you know what your doing, new shop lifters would suck at something like that, so dont do it.

[bloodlusta]

the best thing to wear is a cross. and if someone confronts you pretend your hardcore Christian and try and tell them about destiny church (or what ever the local hardcore church is) people feel really awkward when you talk like that and back off, trust me iv done it before it was real funny

[Core Entropy]

That does not always work.

In my experience (which is not even close to done) what i have done is make sure i have a wal-mart plastic bag. then i go in like 10 minutes before closing and get what i want (i ALWAYS have a fake receipt) Usually wal-mart will shut off the gate thing that beeps when u steal at closing and an announcement will be made to get out. Someone will come and tell you to check out, so say you did. Someone will be at the door and if you just go to walk out they will 50% of time ask to see receipt. There ya go for wal-mart.

Also if its like a house phone (fancy wireless i have done this before) then all u need to do is destroy the bar code, rough the phone just enough to make it look used, and then walk over to customer service. Walk up and say yes my phone is not working correctly, they will 3 quarters of the time give u a new one all fine and stuff. If they ask for a receipt, tell them you don't have one, they will say too bad and then you walk out.

[LizzyReikoZ]

Sadly, a lot of walmarts are open 24/7 nowadays. But you do have a good idea there. They'd be too lazy at closing time to bother to check you. No one bothers to check the 23 year old goth girl for shoplifting... the teenagers always get it. Slipping something small down the side of a boot works just as well.

Another idea is to buy a pop or something at walmart and go through the self check out, but have something that might have a tag in your sleeve or pocket, so that you can casually glide across the thing that deactivates the tags.

[yankee1231]

I went to disney world (florida) on a band feild trip. The whole time (between rides) my friend and I stole a bunch of shit. It totaled like $700 of stuff between us. Its really simple. NOTHING has a tag in disney world and there are no sensors in ANY shop. The great thing is, buy something from a shop and ask for a big bag. Since they only use 1 bag for the whole park, simply go into another shop and put stuff into the bag and walk out without buying anything. People walk in and out of the shops without buying anything all day so it won't look at all suspicious. Disney world is the easiest place to steal from IMO.

[master lurtz]

Using a bag is a very good method, specially with lollies and things with 'crinkly' wrappers. And shoes must be the easiest thing ever to lift, at the wherehouse there are no cameras in the shoe isles, walk in barefoot, come out with nice new shoes

[bloodlusta]

ah the good old whadi phadi, got to be the easiest place to steal from in the world!

[master lurtz]

They have absolutly no security, and most things are really convientily placed for lifters. The only thing you cant shoplift from there is music because they keep the CD seperate from the box.
