Lifting DVDs

[ellias321]

How do you guys lift DVDs from places like wal-mart, target and such? I've gotten smaller shit but its time to step it up a notch and start with the DVDs, Cameras and PS3/XBOX360 games.

For the love of god(or maybe stealing?) my friends would do this.

I got a simple technique, worked for 2 weeks, then my 2 friends got caught yesterday at walmart trying this. It all depends on the Walmart you go to and whether their cameras are real and stuff like that.

Chose the dvd's or games you want, 2-3 max. shove the 2 cases down the front of your pants and 1 case in the back, both around the beltline. wear a slightly bigger shirt and hike your pants up more. and tighten that belt when you get them in. then have a friend check ya and make sure it isnt obvious. then simply go to the bathroom, go to a stall, MAKE SURE YOU ACTUALLY PULL YOUR PANTS DOWN AND SIT ON THE TOILET (standing up in the stall is obvious) and simply cut the cases open and remove the security strip, flush plastic down toilet, then put games/dvd's ALONG WITH CASES back in your pants and walk out the door. And make sure you listen while you are in the bathroom for people coming in and out.

Throwing the cases in the trash/on the shelf will ruin the technique in a day, employees arent dumb. Hope that helped.

Some Walmarts especially in Europe have sercurity things over the toilets so if you take anything in, the alarms go off.

In Aus, we don't have bathrooms in store, except for the employee's bathroom

I work at k mart, and we don't have security, sometimes there are undercover guys that walk around and catch people - apparently they catch lots of people, but the staff don't even know whether they are in or not, but usually they are obvious and get confused for shoplifters

no one watches our cameras, i usually check the camera room whenever i work, and i've never seen anyone in there, plus the screens are two small old black and white televisions which are split up to show each cam - very ineffective

the magnetic scanners are usually faulty, and you can easily get waved through

to de-magnetise something, you have to rub the barcode or whatever on a register's counter, while the # light is on (register #4), to get rid of those clear DVD cases, the older ones you push down on this spike contraption which unlocks it, but the new ones use some kind of bar electromagnet which allows u to slide across the lock and open it, (the same magnet is used to get off the "spider locks"), but i'm pretty sure the plastic would be no match for a really powerful knife or stomping

ripping off the magnetised part on clothing or tags or watever would work, just put the shirt on or underneath the shirt you actually own
fake bottomed bags would work, shoving your stuff in it - not allowed to touch customers, so if your beeping but you dont have anything in your bag, you'll be waved through
if you buy something and don't look suspicious, anything you have in your pockets/on you/in a bag/pram/shopping bags will not be checked, unless you get beeped when you walk through the scanners, so make sure you demagnetise/break off the magnet before you leave..

the majority of workers on the front checkouts and that watch the door are teenagers, and many are stupid, or just don't give a f*ck, would probably be succumbed to bribary, are usually hung over and stupider than usual on sunday mornings

i'm 17 and i'm always given checkout/door shifts. i remember one time, a teenager had a backpack, had his head down, walked swiftly out the store as far away from me as he could, the scanners started beeping, but he jsut kept walking, didn't look back, I didn't even bother telling the manager

Once a guy walked out with a huge television with a fake receipt or no receipt at all, and the person on the door dismissed him, assuming that someone carrying a tv unpaid for out of a store would be ridiculous! Now, receipts from cosmetics and sound departments must be stamped at the door when customers leave

when the receiving warehouse door is open, stock is kept within 10metres of the door, even expensive things, with only one camera out there... if you were desperate you could run in and take something and run out, the people working in the warehouse (no more than 2, usually 1, wouldn't be able to do anything by the time they realised what had happened

pretty sure my store is a great place to steal, too bad i work there and everyone knows me

That post was pretty much everything I can say about the shocking state of security at my store, hopefully you learnt something, and it helps people to understand that just because there are cams, employees and scanners that they are actually effective, i'm sure many other stores are like mine too (appologies for massive post)
