You definitely could getaway using different methods. The first method is to get a black shopping bag that isn't tagged and put the items you want in it. Try stuff on and act like a real customer and then walk out when the cashiers are busy. Be cautious of people standing near the exit because they might be managers or LP. The second method is swapping your old shoes for new ones and putting them in a box on the bottom of the shelf. Try to do this in a blindspot and immediately leave. Try not to go over your state's felony limit because ORC groups regularly hit these stores and SA will call the cops if you're obvious.

Great tips, but don't park in the parking lot. In the unlikely chance LP catches on, you don't want them following you to your car.

It depends on the methods that you use. If your concealing in a blindspot, you can go back soon (less than a month or 2). If you're walking out with bags filled up or exploiting the self-checkout, wait at least 2 - 3 months. If you start to recognize employees you might want to add more stores into your rotation.

Specific times depend on the store, but most places are busy Fri thru Sun around midday.

Should've listened to the protestors

I recently went to a Halloween store that is in a former department store that closed months ago. The bathroom was full of mold, spider webs, dust, and dead cockroaches. If they don't care about keeping the place clean, they probably won't care if you lift.

The first time was a ps2 game from w@lmart. This was before they added all the extra cameras and locked games in the glass case or an alpha box.

I've gotten them from @uto z0ne. Just find a store that has little to no cameras and get whatever you want.

I've noticed that a few stores put items behind locked cages after I lifted multiple times from them.

According to this video, they have plainclothed LP who will follow you into the parking lot & restrain you. https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=6&v=UAigUlg9-uo

Boosting

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.
