Or something like that I would probably recommend putting them into a larger item like a smoker or ice chest, then buying the larger item… Leave it in your basket and have them scan it with the handheld scanner or something… Then retrieve the merchandise and return the larger item a few days later.

I would do a Google search for court cases involving prosecution of shoplifters from the company. Typically in the court documents it describes everything that happened in great detail, which is useful in determining what sort of procedures are in place to apprehend shoplifters. If you look at enough, it’s fairly easy to reverse engineer how things should go.

Bring the shirts into a fitting room and put one or two of them on underneath your regular clothes. It helps to wear a button down shirt when you’re going in to start lifting. Be sure to tuck in the shirts that you’re lifting; just a point of professional pride. Small details matter.

Honestly, if you are a pretty experienced lifter then you should already be aware of what sort of high ticket items are easiest to flip. Since apparently you’re not? It depends on how much you’re trying to get for the car. 10,000 bucks? Forget about it. A couple of grand? Best bet would probably be at Home Depot. Someone I know got three DeWalt pressure washers that retail for 1200 bucks apiece over the course of one afternoon.

It’s only mail fraud if it goes through the Postal Service. If it’s FedEx or UPS it’s not. Although since Amazon sends a lot of stuff out via UPS which is in turn delivered by USPS, that would also count.

You’re delivering it to your house? And you’re using the same card info for multiple accounts? Yes, they will likely figure it out.

Concealing merchandise is so 1990s… Even target now has the self check out areas. Just check out as normal and when you come to the items you don’t want to pay for, Have something small and flat already up against the barcode for that item you’re stealing. Scan the thing covering it at the same time, keeping it facedown so it both deactivates the EAS tag and beeps indicating something was rung at the register.

Is it more risky to set one big fire or lots of little fires? The more times you do something, the more your chances of getting caught are. It’s rather rhetorical.

Well, it’s mainly to deterr the potential nine-year-old girls who typically shoplift that sort of costume jewelry. Not an actual lifter.

Honestly, you need to weigh value against risk. It sounds like what you’re thinking about lifting could easily be found used on eBay for under $10, so I would go that route and save the risk you run from lifting for something of much higher value. Not to mention, in order for the minutes to be added to the phone it has to be activated at the register.

Yes. I see it infrequently, but it does happen. Especially if it’s a high ticket item, it will often come source tagged from the manufacturer and then the store will put spider wrap on it after that.

SLO. Always solo. The more people, the more chances of being caught. you mentioned that she’s good at looking out for cameras, but what that tells me is that you aren’t capable or confident of your own abilities which means that you should be brushing up on easy stores before you start working too hard or stores. Sometimes a team approach is the best, but before you work as a team you need to become confident as a solo operator.

Items over a certain value on Amazon have to be signed for in order to have them delivered. I think it’s anything over $300 but it may be as low as 200 depending on what it is. The empty box idea isn’t going to work if it’s for filled by Amazon, it possibly could work if it’s a third-party seller and not sent directly through Amazon‘s warehouse. Better than an empty box though, would be to purchase something of equivalent wait to the package total weight, then say that the wrong item was sent. Since they will know what the package weighed on its trip to you it’s important to find something that makes the package way and identical amount when you send it back. So if it’s iMac, you might say that you got a cheap computer monitor instead. Also, make sure that what you are claiming you got by mistake is something that the third-party seller actually sells, or something in that field… It’s unlikely that they would send you potted flowers if they only deal in electronica .

Odds are good that the sensors are built-in to the frame of the door itself and the panels can be removed for servicing.
