A GUIDE TO SHOPLIFTING: / ///// // ////////////
Since I started working at a grocery store, I have learned many techniques to shoplifting. I have learned some stuff by the mistakes made by several shoplifters, and others by experiment.
RULE 1 :
NEVER NEVER NEVER try to steal something at a store you frequently shop at. That is just plain stupid. If you really want something bad enough, then spend a little gas money. Hey, its better than buying the product you are about to lift.
RULE 2 :
Don't act suspicious or nervous. Employees aren't stupid. They know that if you are acting nervous, then you are usually up to something bad.
RULE 3 :
Try to steal from stores without video survaliance. This is by far the safest way to do things.
RULE 4 :
DO NOT be GREEDY! Take a little at a time. And take things that will fit in your pocket or purse. Bigger items are harder to get away with.
RULE 5 :
Try not to hit the same stores over and over. Have some variety in your life. You will be less likely to be caught if you don't frequently go to the same place.
RULE 6 :
Do NOT be fooled by cameras with the name SVS. These are fakes! They do nothing but sit there. They look real by the way they have a cable going into a wall, and are plugged in and have a red light on, but they are still fake. GUARANTEED!
RULE 7 :
Do NOT be stupid enough to steal around other shoppers. I have seen many instances where the employees never saw a person shoplift, but a customer had turned a shoplifter in, and the customers word is just as incriminating as the employees.
RULE 8 :
Many times if someone sees you trying to shoplift, they will start following you around. Calmly place the stuff back on the shelf, any shelf! They really can't get you as long as you haven't walked by a register, and start walking out the door, because until you start walking out the door, you still could have intent to pay, and if they do pick you up for shoplifting before you walk out the door, your case most likely will not hold up in court. Many lawyers have freed many shoplifters because of that. If they pick you up. Start telling them you haven't had a chance to pay, and that they can not pick you up for shoplifting, until you have a chance to pay, or walk out the
door! Just act like you know what you are talking about!
RULE 9 :
When you start walking out the door and you see someone following you, then run for dear life. Most of the time you can get away. If you have a get-a-way car waiting, then be sure that the license plate is covered up. All it takes is for someone to write down the license plate number to get you caught.
RULE 10 :
If by any chance you are caught trying to flee, try and wrestle your way out, but BE CAREFUL! Do not injure the person who is trying to catch you, let alone threaten them. If you just so happen to scratch them, the penalty goes from theft to Assult and Robery, which means a bigger fine, or more time!
RULE 11 :
Have someone waiting with bail money in case you get caught.
