borrowing tips
how to thread. beginner level and intermediate level approaches.
this is a thread for anyone looking to take things from gum to maybe makeup at "rightaede"
i will be posting a thread on advanced methods another time as it requires much more detail
some ground rules:
do not take from small stores. only chains. its shitty to take from local stores unless they are trump supporters or something
"if its a chain its free reign"
don't jump into stealing switch controllers and video games if you have never lifted anythimg before or if the only lifts you have ever done consisted of gum from the dollar tree. stick to beginner stores and items until you advance.
before you decide that u want to start borrowing know that if caught you can be charged with a misdemeanor or at higher levels when you lift over a certain value, charged with a felony
if you are still set on getting into the world of borrowing shit then welcome and keep reading
stick to beginner stores & items until u advance. remember confidence is the ultimate method at all levels. being nervous, staring at cameras & staff, and looking distressed is the main way that ppl get caught. typically nobody is suspicious of u unless u give them a reason to be
beginner level:
first lift/first few:
1) pick what you want
for your first few lifts its best to pick simple things. gum, small candy bars, etc
anything that is small and can be concealed very easily.
dont get overly confidence. arrogance is your downfall
2) pick a store
for ur first few time the best places to go are places with very little to 0 security. dollar stores are a great start. i dont recommend gas stations at all until intermediate. sure they might only have 1 or 2 employees but the layout and size is not in your favor
gas stations are quite challenging for beginners

the borrowing itself:

1) drive, walk, bike, whatever to the LOW DIFFICULTY store you selected that carries something you want
2) walk in with confidence. do not look around for cameras or stare at staff. if you encounter a staff member it doesnt hurt to smile or something
3) walk to the item, pick it up, and walk somewhere where you cannot be completely seen.
Once you KNOW you are out of sight, shove the item in your pocket, in a purse, under your shirt, wherever you know it will not be bulging or fall out.
4) walk out of the store. dont look around anxiously at the counter or anything. just walk out. dont run but be sure to not walk at a snails pace.

you are done
you have sucessfully become a criminal
move up in the world by doing progressively larger or more difficult lifts. the next time maybe take 2 packs of gum or a larger item dont jump right into difficult lifts.
information before we move on:

1) nobody stares at cameras 24/7 in low/medium difficulty chains. cameras are there for when they want to press charges. not to stare at the footage.
you might encounter staff actively looking at cameras at local/non chain stores. we already went over how you shouldnt steal from those
2) barcodes are not tags. tags are security features that will notify staft/loss protection when functional. tags will not really be on food or small objects. tags might be on clothing, some makeup, electronics, etc.
many types of tags exist with different means of removal, i will cover this another time
3) blind spots:
area in a store where you can't be spotted by cameras. these spots are used to conceal and detag items. blindspots are extremely useful
do not stare directly at the ceiling or cameras. check for cameras using your peripheral vision
blindspots are not always needed. you can turn your back to a camera and or staff for a makeshift one if the item can be hidden by your body
or you can go with a friend and they can block the view from cameras and or staff
if you are not using a blindspot (as they arent always needed) in most cases, not being seen by staff is more important then not being seen by cameras
if you get out of a store sucessfully you wont typically have a problem even if you stood right in the sight of 3 cameras
4) numbers are beneficial
going with friends is a great idea if you are looking to take makeup or something as you can create blindspots and you have more space to shove items
5) you may encounter security tags at medium level stores. if you spot any beyond these 2 types on the object you are trying to take then dont bother until later as its not intermediate level.
example:
its easy to find these tags on makeup, perfume boxes, etc. ripping off the tag works (ive done this with a tag on the side of lipstick) but a safer approach with something like perfume would be to take it out ot the box
if you take it out of the box. put the box out of sight behind other merchandise or you can close it and put it back on the shelf (make it look normal(
my preferred methods of concealing things at this lvl is to shove it in a deep pocket or my waist band
waist band is my personal favorite because if im wearing a large hoodie it wont bulge much and i can fit several items
intermediate:
now that you have been sucessfully taking small things like gum, soda, etc without crippling nervousness you can move on to more difficult lifts and stores
stuff like makeup or small candles
medium lvl stores will have security features but not a lot. they might have more cameras, scanners at the door, and some items with tags. we went over basic tags so you got this
follow the steps of picking a store and planning what you plan to take. make sure its easy to conceal and that it likely wont have a tag. now that you are at a medium level its usually worth doing research on the store before u go there
knowing the security measures will significantly decrease your chance of getting caught. its important especially with advanced stores and or items so starting now is great
that's really it. its the same. for advanced tips i will be posting a different thread on that later.
the rest of this thread ill answer any specific questions ppl have asked me
most types of tags that are intact will beep unless you get lucky. barcodes r not tags. sometimes tags r on the plastic/under the barcode. ripping off the tag, ripping off the plastic where the tag is stuck, removal from the tagged box are usual methods https://twitter.com/chubbydisaster/status/1329726607343247361?s=19
id recommend finding an empty asile and shoving it in your waist band or pocket when you know that nobody is looking
waistband is my recommendation as you can fit larger stuff
employ this and the tactics of the rest of the thread and you should be fine https://twitter.com/Peonieasy/status/1329744850124681216?s=19
going with friends is a great idea in most if not all scenarios at beginner to medium level
2 people makes a huge difference. especially if u lack confidence.
at some stores this can be a great idea. i would take it on a case by case basis. but generally its fine unless you are in a high end store or taking something $$$ https://twitter.com/jesusdiet_/status/1329756535552159745?s=19
