Yeah, I never stole anything before I started writing. I'm still not very good at it, I usually just rack smaller things coz I dont wear baggy clothes and I'm pretty sketched out most of the time. I can never rack more than one can of paint at once, where is the best place to hide em?

 

Haha, dude, the clothes I wear are about as tight as they get, use it to your advantage, not as an obstacle.
Just get a hoody that is kind of long, you can stick 4 or 5 cans in your waist.

 

Yeah I been a lil bitch about stealing lately, cameras really sketch me out lately...confidence has dropped greatly. Awhile ago I had to run out a shop for stealing a $10 item I absolutely needed, but that was stupid because I was high, no contacts in (okay it was contact solution, hence why I needed the shit) and I did a really stupid routine.

Can't seem to get back into the groove quite yet, really sucks. I want to up my game too, first started stealing like 6 years ago with smaller shit, so I should have some good mile-stones under my belt but I've never even racked over $50 at a time. Sensors scare the shit out of me too because I always think there is gonna be some hidden ones or some shit.

and skeletor, the best place is in you waist-line belt, learn to suck in your stomach, you should get at least 2-3. 4 was the most I could get, but I'd have to wear some pants that had a large waist band. It depends on how big you are, but 3 shouldn't be too hard for most people.

Just practice stuffing up around your house.

What do you guys usually do to counter the cameras and shit? I don't like the idea of walking around with products and then leaving behind while I leave the store, I always feel like I'm going to get stuck buying the shit or something, although it'd probably be less suspicious.

My fav rackspot was k-mart 'cause there isn't any cameras in the paint aisle so I could easily come in that store all the time, but I'm havin' trouble findin' places to rack from around here lately. Home depot scares me though I haven't even been in this one yet, always seemed like an impossible stunt to me because the workers tend to focus more on younger folk, I HATE getting asked for help in these types of stores (hardware stores) and it seems like it always happens.

Pretty much if I can't stuff in the aisle the product is, I immediately get sketched and lose my confidence because I feel like an employee will see me with the product then when they see me leave without it they will know I stole it...

 

i just crotch paint super fucking quick, so that if someone is watching the cameras, they wouldn't catch a 1/2 second little motion. i usually put my shirt over it, act like my arms are resting, and crotch it while it's in my shirt, but not so obviously... and pretend like you're on your cell phone, so it gives you a reason to look around.

 

Do you always stuff in the paint aisle? Even with cameras? Once I rack a few more times without getting caught or arising suspicion I should be back on track...I need to get some paint soon...fuck, I'mma get paint no matter what tonight, I'll let you guys know how it goes in a few hours. I know there is a michaels around here somewhere so I should be able to cop some shit from there no doubt.

 

I've only racked paint once in the last month and it's because I've been doing all marker tags, it's just so fucking sketchy for me to ask someone to open the gate, pick 3-4 colors then fucking throw em in my waistband and dip.

 

At a Walmart near my aunts house they lock up Thinner, respirators and bags of stock caps, but not the paint. Fuck.
Is Mexico the only douche country that would do that? Probably.

 

nah, i actually follow what baron said... i put a bunch of shit in a cart, put some paint in, but don't steal all the paint.. go to a blind spot with no cams and crotch that shit.. but quick. swift, non-shady, smooth... then i ask the bitch at the counter if she can hold down the shit while i go get my wallet from my car... then it's peace out girl scout. michaels isn't good to get paint from, at least not from around here. they lock that shit up, and they have a camera facing it anyway, so it's a double fail. might as well get the rusto "33% more free" cans. more bang for the buck... the other type of buck i mean. the verb buck.

 

ooooh thats a good plan of attack

 

you being smart with me? cuz i'll shit on your chest.

 

I'm serious douche. I'm gonna use that one next time.

 

oh alright. you get away clean this time...

the people who don't fuck around when it comes to shoplifting, and i mean seriously..
-walmart
-target
-home depot

bitches at michaels are dumb as fuck most of the time.

 

where do u usually get your cans besides michaels?

 

lowes, home depot, walmart lulz...

but i'm usually pretty safe with my shit. i try not to exceed 25 dollars worth of shit before walking out... as well as going about such a well executed plan with the shopping cart.

 

I'm 18 so it might look weird when I have a cart of shit you know...Anyways thanks for the tips dude.

 

I have a buddy who used to work at Home Depot and he told me that they don't even have cameras in the back so its the perfect blind spot and nobody is ever back there. Last time i got 8 cans of rusto pros with the shopping cart trick! that could just be for my home depot only tho so....lucky me! i was also wondering, why stick em in your waistband if you could just stuff em in yur bag??
Oh and i forgot to say, the Michaels right near my house only carries new crappy-capped krylon except for the silver and gold.

 

Michaels cameras are a crock of shit.
9 times out of ten ignore black balls unless they're by the cash registers.
The cages I don't know about, but I walk in and out with a backpack full of paint on the regular at michaels.
The young workers don't care, and the old workers don't know.

On a side note, every person I know that works in retail has told me that the cameras are for watching the employees more than the shoppers.

 

So I got 3 measly cans from an ace hardware store, walked up in that bitch, noticed a dome-cam in the aisle across the aisle, but said fuck that shit and shot it with my motherfucking hand-cannon, then proceeded to stuff 3 cans...

Unfortunately that was the only paint I could get, at home depot they had 2 domes at the end of the paint aisle, I said fuck it and grabbed a can of silver gloss anyway, put it in, figured I would be in and out and just not come back again, aisle is near doors anyhow. So as I'm tryin' to decide what other colors I would like, this fucker comes walkin' past, then randomly stops, and decides to come down this aisle. Pretty sure he was a secret shopper. Had a ton of shit under both his arms, wearing a sweater (kinda hot day, I had short sleeve...) a hat and glasses. So I turn to my side, take the can and put it back, pretend like I can't find shit and leave...

Couldn't really find any where else to go that carries paint, last time I went in walmart I couldn't even find the fucking paint section, and this one has a shit-ton of cameras also, and lots of employees walking around.

At the last place I lived, michaels was pretty smooth rackin' and the paint was not locked or anything.

I was able to get some markers too from dollar store and staples, window markers, the dollar ones are cheap with a sponge-like nib, figure I'll put in some acrylic in one of those and use it for sidewalks and brick, hopefully the nib will hold. The one from staples is nice, a nib just like a ZIG marker.

Also got an eraser from staples so I can make a marker out of something, that material makes pretty good nibs I believe...good for a mop.

And yeah, thats my problem too with that method, I'm also 18 so it would look kinda weird for me to go around with a cart by myself. Not mention, that sounds like a lot of work for only as much cans I can fit in my belt line, which is maybe 4 cans. I'd be pissed if I went through all that trouble and still couldn't come off. I like to be in and out.

I would take walmart off that list though zen, they won't even prosecute kids under 18, or over adults over 65, also if its under $25. I also heard their security isn't as great as everyone thinks, and they don't have on-floor LPs anymore...just what I heard. I think they have a "no-chase" policy also.

But damn, I'm somewhat thinkin' of filling up one of those eco bags with like 20 cans, walking out with reciept in hand and just running the fuck away if anyone says shit.

If I can't find a good rack spot or two, I don't see what choice I have.

anyone wanna make a lit of stores that carry paint? I was also thinking of going into some auto-stores and trying my luck there, but those are usually pretty small stores, with cameras, and I wouldn't have much of an excuse if someone asked me if I needed help.

edit: thats weird as fuck, I don't remember chosing that angry-smiley for my post (under my name) but it describes the mood of this post perfectly!

 

no queezy.. i don't know... how bout you inform me on how it's weird?

young people buy stuff too, believe it or not. and it's not like you gotta do alot of work, just walk around with a cart and put stupid random shit in it man...
