    I'm certainly wasn't proud of my daughter for this, but I respect her thinking.
    I had gotten divorced and my daughter was living with me. After 7 months I get a call from the school.
    I expect she was late, ditched class, talking in class, ect.
    Apparently she had been sending students into the target across the street. One would cause a distraction (screaming, panicking, fake a seizure, spill liquid and fake a fall) the 2nd person would steal while the 3rd would stand where the camera couldn't see the theft. She made sure they never took anything of large value to avoid security tags.
    She began selling these items at school. She gave the theives a cut of the money.
    As if this wasn't enough she began extending credit. When people started defaulting she started hiring "muscle" to enforce collections.
    I was speechless. She was 12.
    She got caught because a student who had not paid her back was the son of a scool district employee and they noticed a bruise on his abdomen. She made sure not to have anyone injured on the face, arms or legs so they wouldn't be visable.
    Thankfully she ended her criminal career there. She is finishing college and plans to go to law school.

He'd walk into the back "employees only" section all confident like a man on a mission, take whatever he wanted, and walk right out the front door. It was all in his confidence and attitude. His poise and demeanor shouted "I'm supposed to be here" and nobody ever questioned him. Stereos, BB guns, you name it. It worked every time, and he never got busted.

He would tell the person that the supervisors wanted to see them and that he'll take over. He would finish ringing up all the customers' purchases and by the time the supervisors say "We didn't call for you, what are you talking about?"

Finally, he used tye war to isolate the Jedi and had almost all of us murdered by own own troops and he branded the entire thing as putting down an inssurection so the public was on his side!

    Friend of mine, from his old criminal days when there were far fewer cameras: There was a major catalog box store in town that was going out of business, my friend's minion worked at the store but did not have the code to disable the alarm. They would sneak up on the roof several times a night and drip water down one of the vents until enough moved along the ceiling to set off the alarm (much like the guy in the flat next to a jewelry store in the video). Police would come, see nothing wrong. The owner would come, see nothing wrong. A couple times the cops came by during the day to check up on things. My friend dripped the water from the roof while his minion pointed out the 'leak' he spotted to the cops and his boss.
    They waited over a week until the owner finally turned off the alarm and called to have the 'leak' repaired. That night the minion unlocked the doors and my friend rolled up with a moving truck. They loaded it up with products. A cop came by and asked what they were doing, he'd been stationed to stay in the area and keep an eye out since the alarm was out of order. The cop saw and recognized the minion who explained that since the alarm wasn't working his boss wanted them to take some of the more valuable items up to another store that wasn't closing. They almost got away with it until the cop saw my friend who was well known for running the local grand theft auto scene (for a chopshop in Nevada). My friend was very intelligent and never got caught 'doing his business' only ever got caught on his 'for fun' crimes.
    My friend has served his time and turned around his life. Now my bf works in his garage and sometimes I take care of his lovely daughter. He's learned how to cope with the psychoses that had driven him to a life of crime before. It certainly wasn't for lack of money, most of the crime he committed when he was already wealthy from family. His life of crime drove him to poverty and he has built a legit life. I'm very proud of the wonderful man he has become.

    The crime where the guy simply goes into the garden Department and throw something away then wait for it to be put in the trash is a tactic that still being used at Walmart, Lowe's, Home Depot and so many more places. We used to do this scam at many different places especially Home Depot and Lowe's. We would use a credit card and by like a really expensive lawn mower. After you would get your receipt they would instruct you to take it to one of the loading areas so it can be loaded into your vehicle. So you would pet stores with two loading areas. You go to one loading are you show them your receipt. Right when you show them the receipt you hand it off to someone else who goes to the other loading dock or some other employee and shows them the same receipt. So now you have 2 brand new riding mowers. So after you leave having to mowers. You come back the next day and bring the mower you bought on the credit card back so your credit card is reimbursed. We would go up and down I-5 in Washington and Oregon and hit every Home Depot and every Lowe's all the way up, turn around in Oregon and do the same thing all the way back. By this time we would have about 15 riding lawn mowers that were free of charge. This would also work with any big item like air compressors, generators, anything big that you had to go to the Loading area to pick up. Also this works by just going in and buying something like a TV. You would go in by your TV and soon as you were out the door give somebody your receipt. They would go back in and grab the TV again but ask an employee to help them bring it out to their car. So the employee helps you push your TV in a cart or carry it right through the doors for you so if something were to actually happen and they caught you. It wasn't you stealing it was the employee that you had Carey the TV out. If they try to give you the shoplifting charge anyway just take it to court and even though the judge knows you're pulling a con, he has to go by the law and dismiss the charges because you had no possession of an item. it doesn't matter if you deceived an employee. that's not part of the law and you will be found not guilty. I'm not sure how well this works anymore because I stopped shooting heroin 20 years ago. but I have heard of people pulling this scam and the person who taught me this scammed hold it not more than 10 years ago.

    CJ prof (cop for 27 years) told me about a few cases he worked.
    1: an accountant became a drug dealer in our town. He only sold to a few select people, left no evidence, and was never arrested. They all knew about him, but they could never get enough evidence or even probably cause to make an arrest, or even obtain a search warrant. They estimated that he made well over $20,000,000 in the two years that he was active, then he left town and retired.
    2: a series of professional hits in a large city south of ours. Multiple high ranking businessmen went missing, and were all found in the desert, with their hands and heads removed. Only a few could be positively identified by DNA testing, but the bodies were all wearing the same clothes the businessmen had when they disappeared. No arrests were ever made, and they never even found a suspect.
    3: police officer retired early, and sent my prof and every other cop from his precinct a letter saying “I am becoming a drug dealer. I have a list of each of your family members’ names, aliases, pictures, and addresses. Don’t try to find me.” Needless to say, they didn’t try very hard to find him.

    Regarding the one who used student loans to get into a college where he proceeded to just sell drugs, that was a bad life decision but not a bad fiscal decision since that was $142k of profit. You can get a good, reliable car for ~$25k, leaving him with $117k and whatever he got for his old car (assuming he had one). If you live modestly (not getting the cheapest everything but not buying things they don't have a notable need for either) you can live on $2k/month (at least in my general area). That means that the $117k would last up to 58 months - just shy of 5 years - during which time cost of living would be covered, giving him plenty of time to kick back and figure out what direction he wanted life to go in. At the cost of 1-2 months' worth each quarter they could then go to a community college (in a different location) and get a 2-year degree with total expenditures (life and college) of 40 months or less, 20 months if he really buckled down and devoted himself to it, leaving 18-26 months - minus however long it took them to figure out their direction in life - of leeway at worst to find an entry-level job for their preferred industry that is willing to overlook what he clearly already knew how to convince others was a mistake of the past.

Eventually the feds found out about this and started weighing his packages full of money. Once they charged him with tax evasion, his lawyers argued that even though the feds knew the weight of the money, they couldn't prove that the packages were full of anything more than $1 bills. So he was ordered to pay his taxes, but only on 1/100th of the cash he hid from the IRS.

    I don't know if they still do it, but back in the 80's, When Target would get in shipments of larger items like furniture, the truck drivers would just drive around to the back of the store, disconnect the trailer portion of the truck, and leave it there. Target used the trailers as extra storage so the larger items wouldn't take up too much space in the stockroom.
    One of the employees who had access to the keys to the padlocks on the trailers had one of their friends come in while they were working, and they gave them the keys. The friend went to a hardware store and made copies. They would go back late at night and using the keys, they would take a few items from each of the trailers, then lock them back up and leave. They would sell the stuff at the flea market and repeat the process. Since they were only taking a few items from each trailer, and they were using they keys, Target never even noticed the missing items. or if they did, they probably assumed they were stolen from inside the store by shoplifters.

      Used to do this before I got too ballsy and got caught. And just so you know it is illegal to switch barcodes. We would go to the candle section in Walmart and take the cheap $1 candles since the barcode would slide off really easily. Then go to self checkout and do your best to not weigh the shit so the attendant doesn't ha e to come over and see $10 of candles but not a single one in your bag. The one Walmart we went to had no pressure sensors in the self checkout for a long time so worst comes to worst have someone who is buying shit ask the attendant for help while you get two or three items super cheap.
      I don't steal anymore but Walmart made it so fucking easy. Black Friday they'd leave games out since there was too many people to constantly lock and unlock the display case. Just open the box and put the disks in our pants.

    At roughly 4:00 they bring up the “can I return this?” Thing and they said it doesn’t really work anymore but at most Walmart’s they don’t pay attention to the cameras much. I used to do this

    The one about constantly setting off the alarm until they finally turned it off is exactly how Simon Dermott (played by Peter O’Toole) stole the “Cellini Venus” statue from the Kléber-Lafayette Museum with Nicole Bonnet (played by Audrey Hepburn) in the movie How to Steal a Million. I bet the thief got that idea from the friggin’ movie.

    I knew a guy that used the “throw away merch, and steal it from the dumpster”.....he did it with a twist though, he would throw in one of those fobs that you can use to find lost keys. He would push a button on the locator and the bag with his merch would beep until he located it.

You type out those words. Hhm? What's that sound? A rocket? A plane? No. It's the sound of the joke going over your head. You have been wooshed.

    The one about the games and PS3 has to be fake. They lock the games up. You'd have to ask for every game, and console you wanted, and if nobody saw you checkout with those items, they'd obviously get suspicious.
