Post your favorite shoplifting techniques here.
Personally, I'm a big fan of just grabbing the stuff and running like hell. By the time they realize what happened, I am out to my car and driving off.

These retailers deserve it because of the horrendous mark-ups.

2. I steal from work
I figure an extra pencil and some yellow stickies is worth a piece of my soul.

4. Just put it in the stroller with the baby
if they stop you, say bad baby why did you grab that. FYI it doesn't work very well with tv's or refrigerators though.

5. The large purse method works well
As does the bulky jacket approach. But I prefer the classic, tuck it under your arm and act natural routine. :hi:

9. Unless you eat a cherry...
Edited on Tue Dec-09-08 06:31 PM by SocratesInSpirit
I'm a former produce clerk. I remember we'd put out fresh, pristine boxes of cherries... and later there would be several little pits sprinkled among them. People are so gross! :puke:

So there's a tip for you all - don't buy loose cherries! You never know whose spit you're coming in contact with. ;)

Edit: grammar

10. without question, it's the borrow a baby and cram stuff in it's stroller technique
any baby will do. Strollers hold all kinds of stuff, especially electronics.

Caustion: obtain mother's permission first.

12. Back in the day I used to surreptitiously put everything in a backpack, then walk out.
I'm sure it made people suspicious, especially seeing a guy walking out of the store without buying anything and a pack on his back, but I was only asked to leave once, and the one time I was actually "caught," the fucking chickenshit manager didn't even chase me as he was threatening to, and the getaway car (with my buddy driving) was right there in the parking lot.

Ah, misspent youth... :rofl:

14. I stick beaded necklaces up my nose...
14k gold necklaces are easy too. Just hook the chain over your back tooth and swallow the rest of it. You can pull it right up out of your throat.

When I had my store, most people just put stuff under their clothes. Pretty unoriginal.

15. Free lunch at Whole Foods
Take a bagel. While eating it, walk around and pretend to be looking at expensive shit that nobody needs. Walk quickly past the salad bar. Grab several falafels. Enjoy.
