That sounds dangerous. Very irresponsible to be giving out tips like that!

That is hilarious XD Will have to try it sometime!

Very impressive! Is that all done by using the walkout method or do you make an effort to go through checkouts?

When they go through a tower?

True. It is risky if caught out.

Sounds like a good plan although I'd be worried of staff when they need to clean the store. Some stores are very thorough at cleaning everywhere and the magnets would get discovered :/

I use a black jute bag that's wrapped in 40 layers of foil on the bottom and around. And then I put it inside another jute bag and more jute material is glued around it to conceal any remaining visible foil.

I've had no problems so far. I put some security tags from products I've taken beforehand into my wallet and then put the wallet in my bag and see if it sets anything off on the way in to see if it's OK to use. If any alarms sound, the exercise is aborted (hasn't happened yet)

The only thing I'm wary of at the moment is those overhead ceiling EAS systems that are apparently a thing. The foil detection tower thing isn't really an issue as you just walk in the same time as someone else surely.

I just find using magnets quite tedious whereas with a bag you just drop them in (in a blind spot of course) and off you go.

Are booster bags enough to suppress the sound or do they still get triggered regardless?

Yeah, I did a walkout and as I was approaching the exit, the wheels just locked up on me and at first I just thought 'wtf, dodgy wheels on this shit trolley' and a staff member at the door angrily said not to walk any further as I'll fuck up the wheels. Then the main member at the security tower came over and I thought 'oh shit, that's it for me then' and asked to see my receipt. I lied and said I didn't print one and they unlocked the wheels and let me go lol. So I got away but fucking hell, I was lucky.

I had no idea this was even a thing lol. RIP walkouts I guess.

Ah that sucks :/

Thanks for the tips :). That's a very smart tactic!

Yeah, I thought as much. I had thought of an idea of buying a copy and then printing out a fake cover (with the right type of paper) and putting it in a blank blu ray case and wrapping it back in cellphone and giving it back with a receipt. Sounds a bit far fetched lol... could work possibly....?

Would a booster bag be the simplest option? That looks like a beast to remove!
