Yes, they have regional LP and some stores have security guards.

barcodes don't set off alarms

You can put it on another item, hide it behind/under the shelf, or wrap it up in a paper towel & throw it in the bathroom trash.

Both alarms in the towers at the door and the spider wrap should go off. People who walk out with spider wraps still on items are more likely to get noticed and have their picture sent to cops. Detaching it with a magnet in a blindspot should draw less attention to yourself.

Some grocery stores don't have it

I've noticed that places like R0ss & Tj M@xx have signs that say "cameras in use" or "shoplifters will be prosecuted" in aisles that are blind spots.

I'm not sure about any system Target uses. This link just shows that the technology has been around for a while and if Target or any other store uses facial recognition, it safe to assume that their system can still ID you with a hat and or sunglasses.

You'll only get caught months after if you left identifying information such as your license plate (visible on store cameras), credit card (swiped during a transaction), or drivers license (shown for a non-receipt return).

The best time depends on what your lifting, how you're lifting it, and where your lifting. If it's a small item, you can conceal it in a blind spot at any time. If its a large item you might want to do a walk out when it's busy and blend in with the crowd. Early morning lifts can work if your quick and don't draw attention to yourself, but you increase your chances of being noticed when your the only person shopping. I think the best time is whenever the store is busy. Employees are less likely to chase you if they have 5 or 10 other people in line waiting to buy stuff.

"I take what's mine, then take some more"

I listen to A$AP Rocky - Praise The Lord (Da Shine) sometimes before lifts.

good info, but you might want to blur out the store #

maybe wait till the fall/winter season to hit dicks

Doll@r General usually have new employees very often, but that lady might be a career employee who might never leave. Just check to see if she still works there and try again. Or try nearby cities instead of your own city.

You'll have to research the laws for each specific state since the amount taken might be considered a misdemeanor in one state and a felony in another. Felonies might have a longer statute of limitations than misdemeanors.

I've never tried it, but I think DNR should work with any national company like @uto zone, @dvance auto, p3p boys, etc. If its something really expensive try finding an auto store with absolutely no cameras and buy it with a credit card. Then report your card stolen.

Be able to quit my day job & not be a wage slave.

Just some tips to add, don't use a credit card at graff shops. @utozone is a great place to get flat black & prime colors when the garden section is closed at w@lmart, HD, & L0wes. Just go when it's busy. AC M0ore is similar to Miche@ls, but fewer cameras. I prefer getting extinguishers from recently abandoned places instead of places that are still open.
