<title>Spotting LP at WallyWorld..... (2 replies)</title><link>http://www.zooass.com/forum/read.php?23,24727,24727#msg-24727</link><description><![CDATA[ This was posted on some blog I came across.....pretty basic stuff, but interesting...<br /><br />When I shop at Walmart near Woodland Hill’s Mall, their Loss Prevention Associate follows me. They’re not true security, they’re plain-clothed protectors of profit. Mostly, they go unrecognized and unnoticed. I, however, know how to spot them<br /><br />Because I’m tired of their suspicion over me, rather than shop elsewhere, I’m going blow their cover. Here’s How to Spot a Walmart Loss Prevention Associate, or LPA:<br /><br /><br />1) Browsing Male Shoppers<br />Men do not browse at Walmart, not even the gay ones. Men know what they want. They walk into the store; grab their item and leave. Look for the man who casually browses, with no shopping cart.<br /><br />2) Quiet Cell phone Use<br />The cell phone of many Walmart LPAs appears connected to the ear and palm. While it’s not unusual for people to talk on their cell phones in public, it is unusual to not hear the conversation. People are rude, loud and believe their conversation is a gift to shoppers. LPAs will quietly use cell phones to communicate with each other. It’s subtler than a walkie-talkie.<br /><br />3) Cup in Hand<br />Most Walmart Supercenters house either a Subway or McDonald’s. If an LPA buys lunch inside Walmart, he’s likely to carry his drink through the store. It’s a natural habit to carry a drink out of a fast food restaurant. However, no one stops at Subway for a meal before a leisurely stroll through Walmart, except Jared. People normally stop on the way out.<br /><br />4) Look of Intent<br />Shopping at Walmart requires almost no thought. There are two choices: buy the item or not buy the item. A concentrated look is not always a sign of constipation; it’s also a sign of a secret Walmart associate.<br /><br />5) Dragnet Vibe<br />Finally, if casual eye contact with anyone translates into a mental medley of, “Dum – - – de – DUM – DUM,” then it’s probably Loss Prevention.]]></description>

<title>ZOOASSFAN = A FRAUD AND A JOKE (4 replies)</title><link>http://www.zooass.com/forum/read.php?23,24668,24668#msg-24668</link><description><![CDATA[ <span style="color:#009900">$</span><br /><br />This will no doubt be a long post,<br />- if I take short cuts while I’m posting it will get ‘deconstructed’ and turned around into some kind of gibberish.<br />- if its to long then I’m shafted for babbling and being long winded.<br />Dammed if I do, dammed if…<br /><br /><br />Here we go again with the childish banter that Mr. zooassfan seems to enjoy.<br />He has once again tried to devalue and belittle me in one of his ‘hilarious’ post. I will, like I have done before, show how inane and naïve he is. Sadly as the more he writes the easier it is to show how unenlightened and simplistic his thinking truly can be.<br /><br />Zooassfan has said that he has had an interests in the shoplifting game for over 10 years and has been trolling this forum since the beginning, yet he lacks any real understanding of shoplifting. In my opinion I believe he worked as loss prevention for a Wal-mart in a small town with little organized crime before he was fired for not knowing what the hell he was doing. Thus his belligerent nature towards anyone that has a difference of opinion.<br /><br />He believes that all shoplifters must be alike and removing more then $200 from a store in one day would be imposable. I believe this is why he could no longer work as an L/P - he’s clueless. I have given examples that a shoplifter, either by themselves or in a group, can make this and more. He still says it is imposable. The internet is full of news stories of shoplifters being caught with 1 , 2, or 11 thousand dollars of merchandise in a day. Yet he is still disillusioned - “Opps that’s retail dollars not ‘real’ cash” he says trying to make a case that’s its still imposable to make $200 a day. [ $1000 - 66% = $340 ] Even selling your goods for a 33% profit = $340.<br /><br />No matter how I explain the monetary worth of retail redistribution Mr. zooassfan will never accept the truth because of his illiberality.<br /><br />Now as for my claims -<br />I have been ‘on record’ on this forum for sometime. Though I will not disclose all of my past deeds, I have brought enough information to the forum to establish a better understanding of my background. My intentions are not to boast about my achievements but to give advice - for or against - someone less knowledgeable of shoplifting. My advice is from personnel experience and the advancement of time. [ If your looking for age - I remember the first moon walk ]<br /><br /><br />I do not assert to be proud of my past - it is what it is - PAST.<br />Many roads led me to where I found myself 10 yrs ago. I had many relationships with upper &amp; lower social classes which gave me an edge when my ‘walk on the dark side’ developed.<br />Was I a ring leader - no, I never thought of it that way. I knew a few people that would buy ‘goods’ and I knew a few people that didn’t mind getting those goods. I was just the guy in the middle. Did I still do my thing - of coarse.<br /><br />Did I make $20,000 a month?<br />Honestly - I do not know. There is no office or schedules. Funny thing when you’re a booster you don’t keep a ledger of all your deeds. It’s not hard to do an avg. of what your doing and come up with a rough figure. When your boosting 2,4,6,10 stores everyday, on top of working other deals for people - yes I did quite well. So yes there where times that I more then past the $20000 a month quota and then there were times that I fell well below that number. I was not trying to make production. Of course this was six years ago at the top of my game before it came crashing down on a conviction. Wrote about that before no need to repeat.<br /><br />Do I believe that some inept individual will find disbelief in these factual accounts.<br />Yup!<br /><br />Do I find it humorous that a small timer, which obviously knows little of how a large metropolitan area works, would debate a subject he obvious knows little about or show a desire to comprehend.<br />Yup!<br /><br />I would love for this childish banter to end but I am quite sure that Mr. zooassfan will try too degrade or deconstruct me some other way.<br /><br />When you don’t have any strong substance of your own, you have to demean others.<br /><br /><br /><br />…Pea…B)-]]></description>

From what I hear, this seems to be a total fabrication, as I know many individuals that claim that this company was easy pickings.....<br /><br />I do know that one individual was suspected, and burned at one of their outlets, and they plastered his digital picture at all of the Best Buys on the west coast. So whenever he enters one of these places, he gets the priority &quot;customer service&quot;.<br /><br /><br />Your thoughts?]]></description>

It was cold out, we were both dressed for the weather. This customer walks by and says, &quot;must be nice to get paid to stand and check out girls&quot;. He turns to his wife and says &quot;they're security&quot;. We didn't say a word to this guy. Later on I'm walking past the register area and he is checking out. He waves and yells, &quot;don't worry we are paying&quot;. So tell me how this guy nows who we are when we've never seen him before ever?]]></description>

<title>General shoplifting question (16 replies)</title><link>http://www.zooass.com/forum/read.php?23,24628,24628#msg-24628</link><description><![CDATA[ A friend of mine and I were discussing various techniques that we use. He had one that I hadn't thought of that he uses regularly I was wondering how the shit would play out if he actually was to get caught, Anyhew it goes like this:<br /><br />1. Walk into the store get a cart throw some shit in it find what you want to steal stash it in a blind spot.<br /><br />2. Buy the same items that you stashed at another store make sure barcodes are the same.<br /><br />3. Walk back into the other store later take the shit you stashed but have the receipt for the items on you that you bought at the other store and walk out.<br /><br />The theory behind this technique is that in the event you get stopped you can whip out the receipt and prove the items are yours.<br /><br />As he explained it to me it seemed like it would be very hard to catch someone doing this.<br />Just wondered what thoughts you might have.]]></description>

<title>Pea exposed as a liar! (HILARIOUS - A MUST READ!) (2 replies)</title><link>http://www.zooass.com/forum/read.php?23,24624,24624#msg-24624</link><description><![CDATA[ Now that I've questioned Pea's claim of making &quot;$20,000 cash per month&quot; shoplifting and pointed out how it was impossible, he has suddenly morphed into a large shoplifting ring leader who had 10 people working for him. But would a leader of a shoplifting ring really be doing things like this?<br /><br />. The following is from a <a href="http://www.zooass.com/forum/read.php?1,10889" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" >thread Pea started in the anarchy forum entitled &quot;make a foil bag&quot;</a>. I have deconstructed this ridiculous and hilarious post by him for everyone's amusement. Enjoy:<br /><br /><blockquote class="bbcode"><div><small>Quote<br/></small><strong>Pea</strong><br/>Good luck with the bag. I, personally never use to bother with them. Back in the day, I would remove 25 DVD?s at a time, several times a day from different stores.</div></blockquote><br />But pea, I thought you led a shoplifting ring? Shouldn't they have been doing it for you? And wow, 25 DVDs at a time several times a day! Imagine 25 DVDs side by side. That's quite a large bulk of goods to conceal, especially without a bag.<br /><br />But of course Pea goes on to reveal the mystery of how he concealed such a bulk:<br /><br /><blockquote class="bbcode"><div><small>Quote<br/></small><strong>pea</strong><br/>This is how I did it - go into store w/cart and fill it up with household items. Always made sure I grabbed some masking tape. I would then select the newest DVDs - all 25 of them. Put them in the top part of my cart with a bag of chips and some clothing to help conceal them. Would go down a ?blind? isle and stuff 5 at a time into my pants. 15 in the back 10 in the front.</div></blockquote><br />Oh ok, you just stuffed the 25 DVDs into your waistband at once. Right. But then what do you do about the tags Pea, since you never bothered with foil bags?<br /><br /><blockquote class="bbcode"><div><small>Quote<br/></small><strong>Pea</strong><br/>Went into the bathroom, opened the packages, removed the sensors, and taped them together, 5 at a time so I could tape them to my body. Put all plastic / sensors it the toilet and flushed.</div></blockquote><br />Ok here's where your already weak story loses whatever vestige of credibility it had left. Everyone at some point has opened a DVD. Even when you have a DVD that you've bought, and you're in the comfort of your own house opening it with whatever sharp implement you have available, it's a bitch to get open. DVD packaging is notoriously difficult, noisy, and just a pain in the ass to open. We all know this. And you're saying you sat in a stores bathroom opening 25 DVDs at once with all the noisy cellophane wrappers and sticky adhesive seals? Damn, that must have taken you at least 20 minutes right there, and then you had to peel the EAS tags off the inside, which we all know are stuck with a strong rubber cement type adhesive. That must have taken you another 20 minutes at least to get the tags off. Then, (as if no customer or employees would have walked in the bathroom and heard all the noise by this time) you pull out the masking tape (which you have also concealed and taken into the bathroom - damn your pants must be big!) and begin taping the DVDs to your body. LOL! Again, everyone knows that when you pull masking tape off a roll you get that big noise, *scruuuuutccchh* *scruuuuutccchh* and just how much masking tape are you going to have to pull off to tape 25 DVDs to your body?! Furthermore why do you need to tape them to yourself? You supposedly concealed them in your waistband to get into the bathroom, why not simply put them back in your waistband? You see Pea, how so many things in your stories don't add up? But you say you use tape so that's probably another 20 minutes of noisiness in the bathroom, so all in all that's at least an hour spent in there. Lets imagine that Pea has now opened 25 DVDs, removed the EAS tags, and taped them to his body. Now what?<br /><br /><blockquote class="bbcode"><div><small>Quote<br/></small><strong>Pea</strong><br/>Put all plastic / sensors it the toilet and flushed. Never leave behind anything LP can find.</div></blockquote><br />That's a lot of plastic and sensors, I don't know if the toilet can handle that. Especially now that the government has mandated low flow toilets everywhere. Maybe if you flush ten times or so? Let's hope it doesn't get clogged and that the constant flushing won't draw the attention of an employee. (assuming attention hasn't been drawn to you already from the hour of loud DVD opening and taping you've already done)<br /><br /><blockquote class="bbcode"><div><small>Quote<br/></small><strong>Pea</strong><br/>At this point they are probably watching you</div></blockquote><br />You think?<br /><br /><blockquote class="bbcode"><div><small>Quote<br/></small><strong>Pea</strong><br/>but as long as you didn?t slip, you will walking out the front doors with 25 of the latest DVD taped to you ass.</div></blockquote><br />Unless an LP has seen you conceal the DVDs to begin with. Or has been watching you and sees the DVD sized bulge in your clothes. Or has heard you during the hour spent in the bathroom. Or sees any shred of wrapper or any other number of things. Do you think LPs have to religiously follow the six steps and that they have to 100% see you doing something at all times? That just because you go in a toilet stall (for an hour no less - and making a huge racket) you're safe? There's something called probable cause which you've MORE than given them at this point, even by the stricter corporate standards for making stops. A lot of LPs also have these things called &quot;quotas&quot;.<br /><br /><blockquote class="bbcode"><div><small>Quote<br/></small><strong>Pea</strong><br/>there was no store I could not do it in. I was redistributing thousands of DVDs a week.</div></blockquote><br />Yes, because I'm sure there was a huge market for pre-opened DVDs with tape marks on them. You are on hilarious kid Pea, I actually LOLed reading over this whole thing.]]></description>

(8 replies)</title><link>http://www.zooass.com/forum/read.php?23,24614,24614#msg-24614</link><description><![CDATA[ I thought I'd bring this to the forums attention since apparently our resident &quot;expert&quot; Pea (who makes $20,000 per month shoplifting!) is ignorant on the subject.<br /><br />Using a tool to break off or disable any anti-theft device is considered burglary. You will be charged with burglary in all 50 states if you if you are caught doing this.<br /><br />However even with tools one could never make $20,000 per month shoplifting. Shoplifting tends to be a subject that people like to brag and lie about for some reason, but there are realistic expectations for shoplifting. We as shoplifters and LP know what those realistic maximums are, and therefore we know that Pea is full of BS.]]></description>

<title>RFID TAGS (2 replies)</title><link>http://www.zooass.com/forum/read.php?23,24581,24581#msg-24581</link><description><![CDATA[ Good morning ladies and gentlemen.<br />Quick question some of you may know a little about.<br /><br />RFID tags?<br /><br />I read that they are used to track merchandise while it is still in the store. Although I have stolen a lot of shit that has these tagz installed in them and from a lot of different stores I have never been stopped. I just want to know do they work as I stated and how well? And also what stores might be using this as a loss prevention method?<br /><br />Thanks a heap!]]></description>

<title>Am I written up with a criminal record? (14 replies)</title><link>http://www.zooass.com/forum/read.php?23,24554,24554#msg-24554</link><description><![CDATA[ The other day I shoplifted at a Victoria's Secret. The manager caught me at the door with the item. She asked me to come up to the front desk. I refused. She gave me a warning telling me to never come back into the store or she will call the police.<br />My question is if they have me on record. Many of their employees saw me many times at the store. I've even returned stuff at the store using my photo ID so they might know my name. Would this affect me from shopping from any other Victoria's Secret or just that one?]]></description>

<title>love 2 shoplift!!!!!! (3 replies)</title><link>http://www.zooass.com/forum/read.php?23,24551,24551#msg-24551</link><description><![CDATA[ Hi, I came across this site a few months ago and decided I would start posting. I really like reading the posts by fellow sl's as well as the lp's. There has to be more of us out there than chin &amp; pea. Anyway I used to shoplift daily when I was a teen just for fun and stopped for probably about14 years. I have a profession that I am trained in and was doing for about 12 years. Lost my gig about 2 years ago and thought I would start shoplifting again but for profit. I am older now so I don't stand out as much as when I was a kid. Anyhew I have actually been making more money doing this than my formar job.<br /><br />It's kinda weird in a way getting hooked all over again, especially since I am an adult now.<br />Just wanted to say hi and maybe make a few friends to talk to. No one but my wife knows that I do this and we don't discuss it. Don't get me wrong I am not embarassed or ashamed. just like reading all the shoplifting posts and that I'd join up.<br /><br />Cheers!]]></description>

<title>New camera systems (9 replies)</title><link>http://www.zooass.com/forum/read.php?23,24546,24546#msg-24546</link><description><![CDATA[ I haven't been caught in a while, so I haven't seen anything myself. I keep hearing about the new camera systems that allow LP to backtrack in realtime. Likely the digital or HD options.<br /><br />Is it true that LP can now rewind to the point your entered the store in like 10 seconds? And use that as a starting point to track you through the whole store? If true I think it should be a law they can only use the old VHS tapes B)]]></description>

<title>New Alpha S3 Xtream Boxes.......WTF? (5 replies)</title><link>http://www.zooass.com/forum/read.php?23,24534,24534#msg-24534</link><description><![CDATA[ There seems to be a limited addition to the Alpha S3 security line. The only change is the transparent boxes that software, and ink cartriges come in. The rest of the line seems to be the same. To open the regular line you need a standard S3 key that opens the whole lineup. This key works along the lines of a specific pull of a magnet to release the lock inside the top cover. I believe the specific pull to open the standard box was a neo N42 with a magnetic pull of 118 pounds. They now altered the box by glueing a extra layer of plastic on top of the cover to change the dynamic of the magnetic pull to more than 118 pounds. You need a new S3 Xtream key with a higher magnetic pull, but not too much as this will be usless in opening the box. The pull must be just right to release the prongs that keep the lock in place. I believe a neo N50 magnet with a 145 pound pull may be right, but at this point Im not sure?<br /><br />Anybody have any information on what it would take to open the new xtream boxes?<br /><br />Just curious, as I do not admit to doing anything illegal, and this information is just for educational, and informational purposes.]]></description>

<title>clue me in... (11 replies)</title><link>http://www.zooass.com/forum/read.php?23,24514,24514#msg-24514</link><description><![CDATA[ Ok I am tired, if this makes no sense I am warning you now, lol...<br /><br />So I'm shopping at my store on my off day which I hate to do. I see this meth head on the Mach 3 razor aisle select three $21 razor head packages from the shelf. Guy goes around the next and pockets them and heads out the door. I go out stop him (and since its my day off, I'm feeling generous) get the merchandise back. I say to him, &quot;it's your lucky day, I'm not calling the police just go ahead and go&quot; and I add &quot;by the way I'm advising you not to come back here, this is you're warning&quot;. I told the other guys to pull his photo up for reference. Well overe the last 3 weeks this guy has been back at least 3 times a week. Each time he has tried stealinf razors or ink cartridges or has been seen returning items.<br /><br />My question to you lifters. By letting this guy walk did I make the problem worse? Is he now challenging us to catch him? Or is he an idiot meth head who forgot we even caught him and cut him a break? If it were me I would at least stay away from a store that knows my face for a couple of months. That's just me though.]]></description>

I still have a problem with the methhead SLs but Pea and Chin and you other decent ones out there I can handle. When I first entered LP I hated you lifters with a passion. If I had a lifyer dump on me I wouldn't hesitate to approach them and mouth off and run them out. Now I am a bit more wiser, have done my research and realized its a job for you just like its a job for me to catch you. It is just a game. I may see you and you may get away a few times but next time I will remember your face and maybe I will catch you. I can't stand the LPs that come on here and act like they've caught every lifter that has hit their store. My hat goes off to you lifters. Keep the game alive.]]></description>

<title>Settle a Debate... (11 replies)</title><link>http://www.zooass.com/forum/read.php?23,24492,24492#msg-24492</link><description><![CDATA[ So this is more geared for the SLs but fellow LPs can answer. So a newbie asked me and the other LP the other day the following questions. They've set off a bit of debate. Here we go:<br /><br />Do local SLs talk about specific stores? (Whether security is good or not). I've been in the game awhile and have mixed thoughts on this. My boss is convinced that if we make a ton of stops, then &quot;word gets out&quot;. I somewhat disagree. We pull in more than average for our area and I don't see much of a slowdown. The teens have slowed down on hitting us but I still have my list of repeat offenders I'd like to catch.<br /><br />Do SLs hit more at night? I'm a firm believer that SLs hit at anytime. Granted your typical night crowd may give you more looks if you're profiling, lol, than during the day, I think SLs hit anytime. I've had success during both shifts and had high dollar stops throughout, so I'm not too convinced one period of time is better.<br /><br />Any thoughts?]]></description>

Not bad considering you have been out of school for only a little while. Don’t tell me any different, because I remember when you were like the rest of us “dumbasses” and posted on this forum a couple of years back. You were still in school at the time, or so you said. I suppose in this time your knowledge of all things great has consumed your need for civility to those of us with simpler understandings of the justice system.<br /><br />I do not understand why someone with your grand worldly intelligentsia would lower your pre-eminence with your associations on this here little ‘ol forum?<br /><br />A few questions if you don’t mind from such a great legal mind.<br /><br />1) How often would a defendant be ‘pro se’?<br />Would not a Public Defender (PD) be provided by the courts, if legal counsel could not be afforded by the defendant?<br /><br />2) How many civil case ever make it to trial?<br />You sue for 30 million, then settle for 30,000. Your lawyer will take his 1/3 before court cost and you’ll walk with 10 to 15 thousand. Been there, done that. No one wants to go to court!<br /><br />By-The-Way; Crime does pay well - if done right!<br />I might live in the margins, but what I have earned in the past from living life on the edge, has surpassed anything that I have had to pay for through the system. This includes time spent in lock down. That’s just me - for someone else it may be different.<br /><br />I do not come on here to promote ill will against others or go ball bashing with my cock is bigger then yours attitude. I’ll call it as I see it - and along the way try and help others with my experience so they may improve their lives.<br /><br />You came into this forum with a mightier then thou attitude.<br />Keep it - we do not need it!<br />Post like a man of you education should. A well thought out intelligent argument.<br />jjjee is gone, you need not stoop to his level any longer.<br /><br /><br /><br />…Pea…B)-]]></description>
