Re: Q2. methodology/tricks of the trade - Q3. caught stories?
[quote name="Last"]Q2: Wal-Mart has those bubble cameras all over the ceiling, but my local one was missing the bubble in the toy aisle (there was just a hole where the dome should be). I would be over in that area anyway (it would have been more suspicious if the missing camera was in fabrics or something) so I'd take whatever I was stealing, hold in my stomach, jam the thing into the my jeans behind the buckle, and let my shirt hang down naturally. I could suck in my gut pretty far so there was enough room for me to get what I wanted and still walk naturally. This worked forever (like for six years they never replaced that camera). I stole mostly from Wal-Mart because of that missing camera but also from mall stores once in a while. Otherwise, the only tricks are (1) stay calm and try to put it out of your mind so that you can act normal and (2) if you have even the tiniest slight idea that someone might possibly suspect you, dump what you have and leave. I don't know if anyone ever suspected me but I never got caught.[/quote]
