they only give civil demand if you been caught, and actually got your personal info, like name, license,,,,etc.

whats the point of having them there then.

whats more they are getting ridding of elderly greeters, since walmart originally was not trying to not look monopolistics, after walmart got fat, they are starting to eliminate that position now.

walmart have most if not all of thier trading card in the front registers, how did you steal any. the only time i stole trading card, was some discontinued packs x and y, only 4 from electronic sections.

im pretty sure chain stores, all over the world, lose just as much if not more from internal-employee theft/manufacturing theft and Of COURSE products that are never product are completely trashed anyway.

old way as in either do a very risky walkout, or concealing in a blindspot, and walking out. Selfcheckouts, are probably too risky now, in alot of big chain stores they using better technology to catch, or tell apart lifted items and lifters them selves, of course they are stationing more Employees at selfcheckouts that will be on a lookout for these kinds problems. supertargets dint have employees at the selfcheckout, but now i see sometimes 2-3 including LP standing there.

definitely Always backout when you your instincts tell you too, because your mostly already being monitored anyways.

you might still get misdeameanors, but it will be harder for you to convince whatever state your in to lower the charge to community or diversion.

safer to use to buy from physical locations. as for online you can use public wifi for that. like starbucks, or some cafes.

if depression is the cause, shoplifting will worsen that , since it will make anxious all the time. you might not be in the clear since they got your plates.

CHAIN STORES are getting more and more aware that people price swap, and lift through checkout, they are just being extra vigilant

they are on to you, just dont go this particular target, at least not for a few months. if you come in the same time every week, or month, its easy to predict a shoplifters habits.

do you mean front of the store, or outside at the front. its possible to do it as long as no employees are there. having a truck, and lugging a large item is bound to attract attention though.

you can try returning it for credit, but the random ross item you found on a garbage can was probably bought. I would assume a stolen item would not have have thier barcode registered as being bought.

maybe if it shows up your credit score, you can try to dispute that credit with the " credit company. you can set up free credit watch, like from creditkarma(you have to give personal info to be able to moniter some of your credit for free), if your from the usa.

bad idea, the employees are almost always at the counter. and also walgreens employees are pretty wary of shoplifters.

adding insult to injury she flipped of the LP.

the airpods are unsecured? target almost lock every expensive electronic system. your getting too greedy by stealing 12 packs of cokes, too clunky. if its true you can actually conceal a airpod, and walkout then do it.

the fact that he doesnt share his account with you theres already trust issue. if he is doing in response of you overspending, buying too much that is causing the op financial problems, he may be in the right.

if the company decides to pursue yes, it can go to collections. you just have to watch your credit if your unwilling to pay it. only an action arrest/police ticket is important.

as long as you havnt been caught your fine, on the off-chance they decided to somehow record your LICENSE plate, and foward to the local pd, theres a chance you still can get out of this legal mess. you will have to get rid of everything you stole from target if the cops come knocking at your door, though this is highly uncommon.

electronics, including tools have source tags, hidden inside the item itself, electronics have it in thier battery compartments

there is also always a generic version of aspirin, which is basically the same thing as the brand name. its a real scam how patents prevents any generics from appearing in the market. also be warned brand name usually have some kind of security tag on or in the packaging, for pharmaceuticals.

a power outage happened at a former toyrus store before it got closed, and replace by the now defunct baby-rus store. as soon as the power went out, and it became pitch black, i started stuffing trading cards into my jacket, this was 10+years ago, i only stopped because someone was shining with a light near me.

im guessing target moved to using LP, when they actually used 3rd party security contracters, they were much more aggressive in pursuing lifters, they also had a ton of undercovers. the teenagers dint bother running? they most likely are pretty new at this. Target is doable, but not newly built supertargets though.
