I don’t know whether to find it hilarious, disgusting or depressing that there are scumbags on this site that legitimately think it’s okay to shoplift. Like, not even basics needed to keep yourself alive when you can’t provide for it yourself, I’m talkin things you can 100% live without. Shit like makeup, fancy bags.

Hope y’all end up in jail, honestly.

EVEN IF YOU DONT HELP PLEASE REBLOG TO SPREAD IT AROUND.

My mom found out that I’ve been lifting again and she took my debit card, my TV was moved out of my room, and she completely smashed the screen of my macbook air in, she just fucking trashed it. I am amazed she didn’t take my phone. I also can’t leave the house for a while.

I can barely breath. This is so fucking bad. I am currently doing online school, and I’m a troubleshoot repair tech (computers). She literally has made it so I can’t do my job, or school. We don’t have a library anywhere near us so I can’t use a PC there, I’m so fucked.

I feel like such an attention seeking brat, but I physically NEED a computer to support myself and pass my classes.
I have no money saved (I did, but I spent it stupidly on concert tickets like a month ago, fuck)
The computer I’m trying to get is cheap as balls, $135. But I have no way of getting the money, I explained the situation to my boss and he said he couldn’t give me an advance an he couldn’t do anything else.

You guys are literally my last hope tbh.

I really need ya’ll to help me. Whether it is lifted gift cards or a single friggin’ dollar everything counts. I’m asking my friends for loans too.

If you guys help me I promise to pay you all back once I can work again.

I will be so so so so grateful, message me if you any to help.

A good mother would have murdered you. I know mine would have if she found out I’d been shoplifting because she raised me to respect the law even if it’s “unfair”, and yes I come from three generations of extremely poor people who managed to make a decent life for themselves without resorting to stealing. 

But then again maybe her form of punishment is to simulate how committing even minor crimes can lead to your life being flushed down the toilet. 

I mean, maybe you should’ve thought about all that before you started shoplifting? 

And you explained your situation to your boss. How did that go? “Yeah I got caught stealing (again) and my Mum destroyed my computer as punishment. Could you give me some more money to fix the problem that could have been 100% avoided if only I hadn’t broken the law?” 

The amount of sympathy I have for people like you is in the extreme negative. 

I mean, if this experience made you realize you need to stop shoplifting, then maybe I’d understand a single iota more–but stealing and lying go hand-in-hand very often in my experience (as stealing is basically the physical act of lying to someone in that you are perpetuating the idea that something they thought was in one place is still in that place while the opposite is actually true), so I’m surprised anyone trusts anything you say.

@blautitlewave shut the fuck up you fucking classist cunt.
Just because you obey the law doesnt meant youre a good person. It just means your obedient. Just bc something is a law doesnt mean it’s moral (like… segregation for example and countless other instances in history)
You think your better than poor people because you ride corporate cock, but you aint shit.
Corporations steal from us everyday. They steal and exploit our labor here in first world countries and especially in third worlds. They dont work us full time so they can avoid giving us benefits. They pay us the same wages from 2 decades ago while the cost of living has tripled. They put third world laborers through unsafe conditions for literal pennies a day.
Corps dont make these insane profits w/o wage slavery. Corps are not moral, and unhinged capitalism is not moral.
Sooo youre really ignorant if you think corporations give a shit about you and it’s funny tbh i feel pity for your dumbass…….. be mad while we get shit for free loser 🙂 lifters will always exist and we aint ever gonna stop 🙂

dude chill tf out. shes right. lifting doesnt hurt the ceo’s, it hurts the EMPLOYEES. people get fired because they didnt catch the lifter. also, major white privilege. ive seen news. a black lifter was beaten to death and a white was given a WARNING. yall spoiled teens keep stealing makeup and hopefully get caught. i totally understand if you steal food to live, but MAKEUP? to feel pretty? no. fuck off.

why do yall think were all white. there are plenty of poc lifters on here. btw nice one at proving my point about how shitty corps are bc corps do indeed racially profile suspected people even when they are not lifitng!

and women are forced to wear makeup bc we have been forcibly bombarded by images of beauty since our birth and women are inclined to NOT get hired somewhere and etc if she doesnt wear makeup and conform to beauty standards. so why do yall have a problem with us women rejecting to line the pockets of the white men who subjugate us thru our appearance? btw lifting doesnt hurt employees of a corp

Good to know that criminal dumbasses can come from all backgrounds. I hope you get arrested one day you brainwashed cunt.

These people are disgusting, I’d turn them in to the cops if they were my kids. Teach them that actions have consequences.

How the fuck do you think can we trust you to actually legitimately need the money to buy this and are not just scamming for money when you openly admit to being a thief? This is pathetic.

Why don’t you just go steal a computer from some random person on the street or in a library. It seems right up your alley.

Honestly my favorite part of this is the person who justified shoplifting by saying women need makeup to be respected by society

And while I suppose that’s true to a very very very very small degree in a very small number of professions, most of the time that’s just a complete lie

And even if it somehow were true? You wouldn’t need to shoplift the high end shit

listen up lifters. class is in session.

these are hidden security tags to catch dumb lifters who don’t check thoroughly for tags. the first one is SEWN IN to a cardigan at loft. most if not all of loft’s clothes have these. you just need scissors or something sharpish to remove it. the second tag is a price tag sticker on a wallet. looks innocent enough until you PEEL IT BACK and see the RFID IN IT. you gotta peel those suckers off or cut the circuit to make it not beep on your way out.

THESE ARE WHY YOU TRIPLE CHECK FOR TAGS. 

seriously. i’ve seen too many of you get caught because you beeped and you didn’t know why. you may not see a big clunky tag on the item, but that doesn’t mean the store didn’t tag it. 

ALWAYS. CHECK. FOR. TAGS. MULTIPLE TIMES.

reblog this and let is spread like wildfire so we have less busted lifters and more nice goodies in our possession. class dismissed. 

I hope you get caught

dont check for tags pls get arrested

Please get caught; it’ll be cute to see your parents’ reaction to having to bail you out of jail

Please get arrested and forget to check for tags.

Someone drove off without paying for their meal. Guess who has to pay for it? Me. They stole about what I make in an hour.

I don’t care if you think it’s justified or if you think the corporation deserves it or the managers are mean or whatever stupid reason you steal. It’s shitty and the people who pay are the employees, not the guys at corporate and not the CEO.

Pay for your fucking shit.

If You Are A Lifter, Please Give This A Loo

This is my shoplifting story, this isn’t to scare you or to command you to stop; I just want to share with you my experience.

My name is Allyson and I am sixteen years old and I live in Texas. I happened upon the shoplifting side of tumblr earlier this day and it inspired me to share with you this.

Around this time last year, even more towards November, I shoplifted as much as all of the hauls I’ve scrolled through. I would go to Forever 21, Sephora, Ulta, Pacsun, HM, and basically stores of the kind. My hauls were anywhere from $10-$600. I was stealing makeup, clothes, accessories, and everything in between. The thought of getting caught always lingered in my mind. I can’t describe why I wasn’t as scared of it. Don’t get me wrong, the sight of a security officer scared the shit out of me, but the idea of getting caught was almost a fantasy. I was getting all this cool shit, so it didn’t really take effect on me. Even if it did, I wasn’t going to stop. I had a bigger wardrobe, a bigger makeup collection. For the first time I had many expensive things. Getting caught was scary, but my savings definitely were not.

Around March 2013, I was at the mall with my friends. We went almost every weekend at this point. Never even getting noticed for our sneaky fingers. We went to JCP, Sephora, Old Navy, Claires, etc. We were about to leave when we decided to go back to JCP. Now let me tell you, we were sneaky. very sneaky. We were not blatant. We read hundreds of articles, found a million different snippets of information to help us out. It only takes one guy to notice you. One. To go “hey they might steal something”.

This is the part most do not like to hear. I’m very sorry about this, but I really want to share this with you all. A bored guy in a monitor-filled room notices you, and it could all be over.

I was caught. We left the store and a very large man walks out the door and bellowed, “come with me”. He even smiled, that sly bastard.

I remember thinking, “I can’t believe this is happening.” “Is this real?”

That walk was the longest walk of my life. The walk to the back room. Time literally slowed around me. We walked into the back. We had already given him most of the things at one of the cash registers.  

“If you lie, we have to fill it out in the report”. Of course we did. We had over $400 of merchandise between the three of us.

He eventually checked our bags. He found things, obviously. This part is a bit blurry, but I will try my best to tell you everything that happened.

He separated the merchandise by store. Then we called our parents. That was literally the worst thing I ever had to do in my entire life. They sounded extremely disappointed. It was the definition of terrible. From that back room, we entered another room (this one filled with the monitors), while the man called the police. I still have scars from sitting in that chair and digging my nails into my skin from fright. Our parents came and sat with us until the police arrived. The whole time the large man telling us we’ll have to spend the night in Juvy, obviously scaring the shit out of me even more.

I’m going to get through this part a bit faster.

The police showed up and we were charged with a Class B Misdemeanor Theft. In Texas that basically meant we stole more than $50 but less than $500. If you are not a minor, that is a sentence of confinement in jail for a term of not more than 180 days a fine of not more than $2,000, or both. Though, we were minors. We ended up not going to juvy, but were let go to our parents.

Literally worst car ride of my life. No yelling, just complete silence from my parents.

My parents received a bill from JCP of $339 in the mail around 2 weeks letter and I was scheduled to see an officer about my misdemeanor. I was given three months of classes to clear it from my record, and three months of probation.

So I’ll leave you with this.

I desperately wished somebody had told me this, and more importantly, that I would have listened.

It feels like it will never happen to you, but why potentially ruin your life by trying? Sorry for that spiel. I remember hating reading that kind of stuff, but it’s so entirely true; its scary. Some instances, you could potentially ruin your chances of a job and college.

I relate to all of you, I truly do. I am the same teenage girl, going through the same things. 

While writing this, I had to take multiple breaks because recalling this is truly an extremely hard thing to do. I’ve had nightmares about this. It’s truly awful and I will never think of shoplifting the same way I did. As something fun.

If you have ANY questions, message me. Seriously, as long as it’s nothing rude, I will answer you. I promise.

. (Your choice) I do this so many of you all can see this. I am not sponsored by anyone to share my story; this is because I care about you all and I don’t want to see you go through what I went through.

Thank you very much if you got this far with me!

[Note: Sorry if this post has some badly written parts, going back through it and reading what happened to me literally almost makes me cry, so I cannot go back and go through it! Very sorry.]

Shoplifting on this website is directly correlated with communism.

There are no successful communist societies, I’m sorry.

Shoplifting is objectively stupid, because it, if it harms anyone from a big company, it’s the employees, and if it doesn’t effect anyone you objectively wasted your time.

And anyway, a lot of what I see people lifting on here is shit you don’t need like makeup (yes, there are studies saying that looking nice equals more job opportunities, but to survive you don’t need it) or other beauty supplies.
On beauty supplies, I have a difficult natural hairstyle and I don’t do a lot with it and I still get compliments, even though I don’t want them.
Like, if you legitimately can’t afford food or clothes (not can’t afford designer clothes, though, or to eat at a fancy restaurant) and your job legitimately does not pay enough, then TO AN EXTENT I could excuse you shoplifting. But that doesn’t make it legal or moral.
