    You can buy a magnet that will remove magnetic tags online. For the strips that might be on DVDs, games, makeup, skincare etc you should be able to wrap them in foil or use a foil-lined bag. Might be outdated tho.

    If you do everything right the alarm might still go off. They can set it off manually if you are seen taking stuff. In this case say you're in a rush and quickly show that your bags aren't setting it off, maybe say it must've been someone else, and just leave.

      I don't have any advice on this topic, but just for everyone's information, if you do get caught shoplifting and have any tools like that in your possession, you may be looking at additional charges. Google something like "possession of thieves tools / burglary tools" for more info.

        I saw the most genius thing when I worked retail. Some dude kept stealing DVDs, and it turns out he hid the tools to do so underneath the shelf. I assume this is why; couldn't be posessing the tools if he just leaves them in the store where he needs them.
