Stuff has been getting REAAAAALY expensive lately in my europoor nation, like I could get a buncha snacks with 5€, but then we had to sanction Russia and fuck everything up and so now I can't get shit with that. So basically, how do I shoplift? There are like a bazillion cameras covering every aisle in my local shop and I'm confused as to how not to get caught stuffing my bag full of stuff?
Not a clue where you’re located, so maybe this isn’t relevant to your situation, but when I worked at Target they explicitly told us they’d let shoplifters steal many times, until they had evidence you’d stolen enough to get a felony charge. Then they’d call the cops to ambush you outside the store.
And stores would communicate about specific shoplifters who went on sprees at a bunch of different stores in an area.
I imagine other retailers have roughly similar policies. So, all that to say, keep the monetary value low, shoplift at stores not close to where you live, don’t hit a place too many times, and mix up the places you shoplift from.
Same case here with many stores. Cops don't want to deal with petty shoplifting, so they'll wait until there is enough evidence to really ruin your day.
