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?

    Another piece of advice, in addition to what I’ve read here: try using a moderately large bag, in which you have a somewhat spacious and hidden inner pocket —this is where you’ll put the items you stole. To avoid the detectors at the store entrance, turn that pocket into a Faraday cage. In the main part of your bag, put personal items so that if a guard checks your bag when you leave, they won’t suspect anything upon seeing your personal belongings, such as a jacket, cap, or personal accessory. After placing the stolen items in your Faraday cage, buy a not-too-expensive product (obviously). If they give you a store bag for that product, better. Place the product on top of your personal items in the main pocket.

    To test your Faraday cage, place a cellphone inside it and call the phone. If it rings, it means the cage isn’t working.
