This is from a thread i started about thievery in general, mostly was about shoplifting wih other miscellaneous theft thrown in. had started it while ago, routinely posted additional resources to keep it alive but overall pretty much consider lainchan pretty dead at this point
https://lainchan.org/%CE%94/res/8273.htmlSo here is some actual substance copied/pasted from the thread, which ill probably split into a few posts
advice:
-have a trip to the store simply to case it and know what you want beforehand
-Keep store visits under 15 min
-Have your routes planned
-research police response times for your area
-look into company's turnover rates
-check the frequency of crimes in your selected area(more crime less time)

-dress well, okay enough or within the areas expectation(many shoplifters are addicts)
-have your ride in a different parking lot
-Have a change of outfits in a hiding location( atleast in another parking lot ) or wear another set underneath to change out of to get rid of your profile
-Some hiding spots would be garbage areas which block the view of nearby traffic, large bushes, and public restrooms
-if possible, look into store policies regarding theft, with the worst being hands ons
-Do not trust the public
-be somewhat fit meaning having decent cardio and strong legs which can be accomplished via squats
-Dont linger
-look for the path of least resistance
-Disregard any "masterlists"
>High shrink products are easier to hit (The stuff your store usually takes a loss on)>surgical mask to cover face>echoing OP, dont spend more than 15 minutes getting what you need. Any more than that and you cam bet Asset Protection has an eye on you>Get a job at a store and steal the magnetic thing that takes security devices off of products.>Combination locks usually have the store or district # as the password-Do not overly rely on the indifference of the employees & the public
-Make and stick to an actual plan
-Do Not LINGER(pretty sure this is what got me spotted)
-It is tempting to walk/go straight but it is also predictable, it leaves too much vulnerability
-Make use of corners, closer sides of nearby buildings, it will force your possible pursuers to guess which way you went.
-WATCH YOUR BACK,check your 6, whatever. looking back is critical
-RUN if spotted/called out/instinct says 2. Walk when you know it is all clear.
