Do any of you guys regularly shoplift and if so why and how do you do it?
I personally don't but I'm interested in some stories/experiences.
Buy any vidya for the price of dog food.
Take any box of doge food (pic related)
And open it just enough so you can fit your vidya in. Throw the food somewhere nobody gives a fuck about it anyways. Pass the cashier, shit will not ring since one code got scanned out and the other is pretty much impossible to scan through. I did it more than twice and it always works. Just be careful not to get seen by anybody.

What games were they?
>>24866427
I put on a lone ranger type mask and scarf and usually run out with pokemon and magic cards. Nobody gives a shit because they think I am mentally ill,they are right.
>>24866512
does this actually work? what stores are the best to steal from where do you go in the store to discretely stuff the vidya in the doge food? what about cameras?
>>24866512
What stores do you go to where the games worth buying aren't kept behind the desk or behind a giant locked case?

I steal something basically every time I go to the supermarket, usually just chocolate. Cameras have blind spots.
How do shoplifters know where the camera blindspots are?>>24868607

when you get caught they bring you in the security room and you get to see where all the cameras are.

Wew lads, is this shit really even worth it? You will have to answer to Tyrone if you mess it up over like less than $100 worth of stuff.
>>24866427
Best tactic is to have friends but robots have no friends so you guys are fucked.
Otherwise what I've done is have a dude run interference in the front of the store (usually this is at night). He either just looks at shit or he buys something small like an Arizona.
Meanwhile I'm in the booze aisle and I grab a bottle, rip out the RFID that is under the price tag and then stuff it down my pants. Then I shuffle out of the store. Then I get drunk.
I've done the same thing with meat too. Literally I fed myself for an entire month on stolen meat. Steak every night is pretty nice.
For clothes, I've tried on some clothes that don't have the tags and then I wear them other under the clothes I was wearing. Or I stuff them down my pants.
For shoes, I've gone in with shitty holed up shoes. Tried on some new ones that fit. Then I walk out with them on.
>>24869028
It started as mischief, but now I'm a bit of a klepto
I have kleptomania, i shoplift almost for sport.
RFID make stealing a lot more difficult, but if you have physical access to the sticker, its pretty easy to fuck with the antenna coil.
Just make sure you sap the coil, and not the rest of the wiring, as it still sends the electrical interference that sets off the alarm.
If the sticker is on the inside of a plastic case, like on some vidya cases, you can try and put the flame of your lighter against the part where the antenna is, but its too risky to start burning shit in the middle of the mall.
tl;dr. buy a RFID jammer, steal everything.

This reminds me how in high school we would go to the store and people would get jojos/potato wedges from the deli and steal them

>>24866427
Morally I would, who am I kidding, but in practice I'm way too beta. I can barely even BUY the shit, let alone have the balls to steal it, let alone deal with the potential consequences.
>>24869028
the majority of people on this board are actually teenagers
I've been shoplifting/scamming for 5 years now without being caught. In that time I've stolen movies, CDs, vidya, trading cards, blankets, clothes, jewellery, bikes, devices. I'm a NEET because I pay rent off what I sell though I suppose this counts as a job at this point.
>>24867588
i feel strangely inspired
recently stole for the first time since childhood. I was at macy's and realized that their cheap in-store brand American Rag dosent have any theft tags on it. grabbed a bunch of shirts, with some extras to the dressing room, put all the ones i wanted inside my coat and left.

I used to steal from clothing stores when I was 18-20. I was very VERY poor so if I wanted any decent clothes I stole them.
Would steal $500 jackets from Myer(Ausfag) by going into change room and removing the buzzer with a pair of pliers.
Normally whenever I went to the mall I would stuff a pair of something into my pants and walk off to my car.
Pretty easy to be honest.
Pick couple of clothes you like and go into the change room.
Rip off tags until you are able to get the alarm off without damaging the clothes, stuff into pants and walk out.
Only got caught once which was when I stopped.

I did all the time when I was a kid but my brother always found out and snitched to my mom on me. 1 time I stole some pokemon cards and candy from this corner store we always went to that was owned by some Saudis, brother snitched to my mom and she brought me to the store and had me apologize and I had to listen to the store owner tell me the story about how they'd chop off your hand in his home country. Pretty sure I stopped after that but only because I didn't want to get ratted out anymore

Most companies seem like they won't do shit against you. At target, I've heard of people openly lying about prices of items, just to get a discount.
>>24869059
Couldn't you just peel them off? Barnes and Noble just has them stuck in the book.
i work in retail. i just go out back and grab some food. if i have my hoodie i just stuff shit inside for later snacking. as for trading cards, just take them to the bathroom and shove your best pulls onto your sock. dont be an idiot and take the whole tin, also go when it is most crowded (1200-1300) to avoid getting too much attention
>>24869630
security often looks at what youre carrying out if you dont have a plastic bag to hide them.
If you peel them off security could check on the book and see that theres no RF at all.
Walk out the door like a normal person subtly showing the code to the guard (open the book, pretend to read the title, make sure the code is facing the guard) he would have no reason to stop you.
Or run.

The secret is to not look guilty. You can't imagine the imensiry of the fuck people do not give for others, as long as you act normal. No one sees, no one cares, no one pays attention. All the books I stole, I slimply got them, read for a few minutes, and exited through the front door with the book in my hands. Never caught.

People do that a lot, especially couponers. I'm pretty sure Target has loss prevention staff at their stores though. They'll go out of their way to get people that are stealing items like baby formula.
i used to steal small things in my country like cookies, candy bars etc. but in America it's impossible since there are security cameras everywhere

I work retail too, I could care less about the monetary value of whatever shit people steal - not coming out of my check, but constantly fixing inventory / having customers complain about us being out of something gets irritating.
On behalf of retail wageslaves everywhere, if you're gonna steal at least leave us the empty package so we can get it out of the system.
Also don't be a dummy and steal from a brand new store, the security is usually way more tidy than an old store.

I work at a Best Buy
Probably the worst place to steal from in terms of big retail chains.
There's usually at least 2 guys watching the cameras/doors and 30 or so employees out on the floor.
All new vidya/shit over 100 dollars is generally locked up in cases, cages or portable plastic security box or wrapped in a security cable unless its large enough to not conceal or some shitty basic laptop.

What's wrong with a mac? Isn't mac unix based like linux unlike windows?
>>24870184
it's ok to be poor f'am
>>24870087
No my manager is actually pretty based.
He is gay and sometimes makes some slightly inappropriate comments towards myself and other coworkers, but only slightly. Also every assistant manager is gay - coincidence? But as far as managers go he is pretty easy going as long as you show up and work he leaves you alone, is flexible with hours, and buys everyone starbucks and pizza sometimes.
As long as you respect him, he respects you and actually listens to advice and openly talks about the business side of it which I find interesting as it's my area of study, even though it's all technically somewhat confidential. I think it's a lot smarter of a company to have a friendly boss that inspires rather than leads by fear, it's the only way competent employees stick around - and it reflects in the employee's work ethic and longevity. My long term game plan now is to wageslave until I have my degree then transfer to the corporate office because the company isn't that bad to work for and having even monkey-level experience in the company is still a huge foot in the door for a corporate career.
It's not worth it working under shitty managers senpai. Your mental health and self respect is more important than that. I know at least here, while the job market isn't exactly great, it's not so horrible that I wouldn't be able to find another job within a week or two.

generally, you need to improvise sometimes, or sometime you can prepare, I stole some things, not too many. i'll describe one such situation when i stole a couple of things.
> enter the shop, it was not a private shop (i did not stole from them) but it belonged to a networ
> there is this alarm gate, or whatever it's called, but there is also the gap, and exactly in that gap is situated a rotating stand with some miscellanous things
> get the bag, pack stuff into it and hang onto the rotating stand
> rotate the stand so that part of it with the stand protrudes on the outside of the shop ( beyond the alarm gates)
> exit the shop normally, go to the rotating stand but from the outside, take the bag, go as nothing has happened.
I hope you get the idea intuitively since my english may be lacking.

>next choice is either Geforce 700m or Geforce 755m. At 1500 and 1800 dollars
Now, not only the regular 750GTX is not that good for vidyashit, but its a mobile model, which means is even worse.
>you have to emulate every fucking game
macs are just not for gaming, everyone knows that.
Now, the OS. MacOSX is a locked-down and overpriced version of open-source, FREE Linux.
Stevie's company NeXT stole the OS from an open-sourced BSD Unix in 1996, He resold the version to Apple, and it became OSX.
The layout is bad (this is subjective, tho), and theres no room for flexibility, unlike linux. It is literally a downgraded and numbed down version of a free software you can download and install. For free. And its better.
>software and hardware options are shit.
theres not much to this, honestly. Its just shit. Every aftermarket component for a mac is either useless or ridiculously expensive.
Same for software, unless its open-sourced (!)

ok well it's unix based and it's still better than windows and infinitely better than windows to code on

>>24870175
Yep. Although I remember I had a largeish crew stealing stuff when we were 15 because we knew all that could happen was a slab on the wrist.
We would just rush a store, grab shit and run. One person might get caught but 10 would get away with $500-$1000 each.
Person that was caught had to be let go, at worst if they can get a phone number out of the kid, they would call the parents.

The Target by my house is really uppity about theft. Once my mom made me go to retrieve a couple welcome mats she thought the cashier didn't pack for her. I gave they guy at the customer service desk my receipt and had to wait for 40 mins while they checked the security footage. In the end they told me there was video of my mom taking the mats out into the parking lot on the bottom of her cart (where she probably left them), and they refused to refund any money or give us replacements. They amounted to $5. Literally $2.50 each
I steal garlic all the time from the super market.
Shits so expensive, I just put it in the bottom of a bag of mushrooms.
Anything that has a tag or magnetic strip will beep when you walk out of store. you can go to hardware section and get pliers and break off the tags pretty easy. not everything has one though so you can just put pocket stuff
with self checkout you do >>24868592 because produce goes by weight. if you just go in and try put something in the bag without scanning it will pickup on extra weight.
it's just being poor... but the rush is also something too, getting it and walking out of store without them knowing.
doing it when the store has more people would make it easier too
