I've known some proper thieves that won't touch drugs. They see drugs as a way to get busted.
Not every criminal has drugs. People that commit crime do not necessarily have drugs. Some drug users steal to get drugs but plenty of people commit crime without the intention of purchasing drugs.
I've smoked pot with residents of the council of my city!
I could relate.
Let me start off by saying that I've lead a very long, twisted, broken life for a twenty year old. I am now diagnosed with a personality disorder, among other things. I have a very large problem with society, government, religion, corporate giants and this sad pathetic excuse for a democracy.
I believe it was Thomas Jefferson who said "Democracy is where 51% of a group controls the other 49%". That is not, and will never be adequate for me, or any other rational person. But I suppose we all do the best with what we have.
I used to do a lot of drugs. Now I smoke weed every once in a while and I trip off of the mushrooms I grow, drugs aside - most of my life I was entirely against thievery of any kind, no matter the kind of people I hung out with.
The economy is really bad. I can't find a job, and I continue to try on a daily bases. My mother who works for the city and makes good money is still losing her house to foreclosure within the next month or two, and we have more debt then we ever had property. I have over 40,000$ in hospital bills that were from a Chapter 51 treatment, that failed miserably.
I refuse to steal from people, or family owned businesses, and I will not hang out with anyone who does either. But for the past couple of months I have been stealing from Walmart, Hobby Lobby, Target, etc. I steal things I need, and lately I've took it upon myself to educate myself on how not to get caught. Sure the moral aspect is not enlightening, and if I get another charge it will be a felony - I am in voluntary treatment now and if I complete it my record will be expunged, according to the judge. I have nothing, no one. Only a moron steals because they feel like it, and I consider all of it societies fault. So, stealing from Walmart - are you really going to give me a moral lecture over that? If so, please spare me.. I've done much worse things then steal. As for committing a felony.. What the hell is the charge for cultivating psychedelic mushrooms in your area, a fucking misdemeanor?
As for the shoplifting, which is my original contention for posting; Walmart - most of the orb cameras are fake, although it's not always possible to distinguish which one, so it's safest to assume they are all real. Look for blind spots. When shoplifting, always wear a mask - and by a mask I mean a friendly demeanor, positive attitude, good manners and decent attire/personal hygiene. One strategy is to take an item (without the metal strip) and simply put it in your pocket under the nearest blind spot, and leave. Another strategy I've used is to put it in your pocket, go to the restroom and take off the metal alarm indicator, then leave. My personal favorite is to do one of the first two strategies, then continue shopping, and purchase a small item - not a candy bar, who goes to Walmart for a fucking candy bar. Something necessary, like rubbing alcohol or peroxide, something cheap but with a logical approach - and actually pay for that item. It really does make a huge difference.
Barnes and Noble : Ours has very few cameras, tons of blind spots and not that many employees. I have an excellent strategy for our local B&N, but it's because of the layout of that particular store - some of the books contain the metal strips, simply flip through the book, pretending to read it - and remove it if there is one, pocket it in a blind spot (try not to let an employee see you carrying the book to the blind spot/s, and I also do not recommend asking where a book is, then stealing it. Find it yourself if you want it for free, although with my strategy this rule is safer to break, and I have).
Stores without cameras are fucking awesome. You basically put whatever you want in your pockets and leave. I find good ways to avoid suspicion is to purchase one small meaningful cheap item, as usual - although it's not always necessary..
Hobby Lobby: They have cameras. I have yet to be caught, be sly - be polite, even charming - and they never bat an eye, unless it's to get your attention for reasons other then work.
For stuff inside containers, if you insist on stealing the hard items - I recommend a small exact-o knife, or razor (box cutter) for items like Cologne, small electronics, etc. I would be willing to bet the cameras over the electronics departments in any stores are real, though - at least, in comparison to the other departments at, say, walmart.
And just because you stole that day doesn't mean you need to do it all the time. Pace yourself. And, remember since you saved so much money doing this; make sure you give a little back to the community by using locally owned gas stations instead of those monstrosities, and shop at family owned grocery/hardware stores. Whatever you can to put money in the pockets of ordinary people, they will appreciate your business.
Most of all, be prepared, be careful, always watchful and always ready to run if you have to, but never run before you have to. And I say this again: Do NOT steal from people, or family owned businesses. DO NOT STEAL FROM PEOPLE OR FAMILY OWNED BUSINESSES.
I can deal with the fact that under certain circumstances I became a thief. I cannot tolerate the stealing from good people, and I am not the judge of people, nor are you. Steal from the man, and do it carefully, or do not do it at all.
I've heard from a few friends that the aluminum bag technique works, but I haven't tried it myself.
Be careful for those metal strips, too! I was going to steal a 4-pack of shaving razors (gilette fusion power head replacements are like 16$ for four), and luckily I did not. Upon purchasing them I found the metal bar hidden in the packaging really well, I couldn't see it at all from the outside. Very close call.
Also, when stealing vitamins or other supplements, I recommend one, MAYBE two bottles at a time. You'll walk out of there sounding like a rattle.
A big fear of mine is to have the stolen goods fall out of my pocket, make sure they are secure upon exiting the store. Winter seems to me to be an easier time to steal, because of the coats. I have an excellent snowboarding jacket that I use regularly, and you can never tell I even have anything in my pockets.
Never shop on benzo's, or any other drug really. You may think your being slick but you never know.
I prefer shoplifting over scamming. I do not enjoy lying to people, regardless of how good I am at it. Scamming is for people who couldn't find a better way outside of demeaning another human being, and I do not condone that sort of thing.
When walking in and out of the stores, try your best to remember that we are all in this together, we are all human beings, brothers and sisters of the stars, but - like in the matrix, anyone who is still a part of that system is potentially a threat. Blend in, stock up, fade out.
I have yet to really steal any clothing or food, I am a novice thief but I am very careful and I do not believe I will ever get caught unless I get sloppy or greedy. Either way I will have only myself to blame if I do; society does not give a fuck about me, or you. We are all responsible for our actions, regardless of how corrupt the system is. It's a gamble.
Good luck, safe discounting - and remember, be polite. Talk to the people like you care, try to care about people you are predisposed to be prejudiced against.. we have to come together without falling apart, or we have already lost.

I see that you didn't steal the razors, in fact wouldn't care if you stole from P&G, but I think this post gets to the heart of something I always find ridiculous about shoplifters: They steal expensive products, and use the justification that they can't afford xy or z product. Well in the case of these razors, why wouldn't a person just buy the cheap Bic disposables? They may not be as convenient, or have as many blades, but they still complete the same basic task.
Another example, my cousin went to college in Florida. He was usually broke, so he stole some of his groceries. Instead of stealing say ground hamburger he would steal steaks. Justifying these actions with the I'm a poor student bit. Somehow he was able to trick himself into believing that crap, I thought it was bullshit.
Anyway, that's just my 2C

everyone gets caught eventually. And the reason we do get the more expensive things is beause , if you are going to steal something you might as well get the best product you can. Its going to be basically the same crime regardless of the name brand and i doubt that if you could afford the cheaper one that the more expensive one is more expensive enough that it would constitute a more serious charge.
Why would I steal a generic version of something when I could get the best there is to offer at the exact same risk?

Ask to start a tab at any bar and use a prepaid credit card.
At the end of the night and $200 later just walk out. Everyones drinks are on the house.

Thieves get caught eventually. That felony record will follow you the rest of your life. Become a lawyer or banker and you can steal legally.

My god they're ridiculously priced. Got myself some yesterday. Just rip them out of the cardboard & check the plastic case for metal strips (they're usually on the cardboard anyway.)

We don't hear back from the people who tried these ideas and found they didn't work so well. No laptops allowed in jail. We only hear from those still getting away with it.

Lol as a first offense shoplifting is not that big of a deal. Your exaggerating. It's the multiple offenders that actually go away.
I normally carry a straight razor mini-box cutter with me when I shoplift, you simply cut the packaging, find the strip and remove it. if your good at it and you can see/feel the strip - you can do it in your pockets, but it's safer to do cutting in the bathrooms, just make sure there is no one else in there while your doing the cutting, use a sharp blade. I always just hate the feeling of being in there.. not knowing if I was spotted only to walk out into a trap, so I prefer not to do that most of the time. Like people say, chances are if you get to your car in the parking lot without them waiting there for you, you've gotten away with it.. but I wouldn't stick around to find out. Blend in, stock up, fade out.
Lately I've only been stealing from places without cameras. I myself would be a multiple offender and I am working on getting my record expunged - it's not worth the risk.

None of these things are free. I could suggest to go to your neighbors garage, hotwire the car, and drive it into your garage. Wow, what a great deal.

I dunno if this method has been mentioned, but I'll post it anyways just in case. This method has been tried and true, requires some common sense but otherwise fairly easy to pull off.
What you need:
Some grocery money (I usually go with $50 and am able to get $50+ groceries for around $30)
A shopping cart full of your groceries
Quick hands
A hatred for corporate America
This scheme works best at Wal-Mart since they seem to hire the most dimwitted people who do an excellent job of not really doing a good job, but I've also pulled it off at Kroger andin theory it can work at any place with a self checkout. So this scheme requires you to do your normal grocery shopping, keeping a figure of how much money you are spending (in the worst case scenario you'll have to pay for the groceries so you need to make sure you'll have enough $$). So when you have all your stuff you go to the self checkout line. Usually they have one person overseeing 4 different checkouts and they are hardly doing a good job at that. It is best to have one or two friends helping unload/lookout, but it's possible to do solo. So when you are checking out your groceries, strategically take out the cheapest things first, making room in your grocery cart to put the bags. Now, here's the tricky part. Either you can A) "fake" check out things and put it in the bag and then into your cart, or B) as you place bags down cover smaller, more expensive items (such as printer ink, olive oil, expensive cheeses) with the bag. Either way, the point is to make it look like you've fully checked out without actually doing so. Pay for your groceries, and look as normal and lawful as you can as you walk out with $20+ of unpaid groceries.
Note: I have yet to run in with magnetic strips retailers sometimes put in items, even in things like printer ink. However, I'm sure on the more expensive electronics such as games and movies or controllers there are strips. Like I said before, this scheme takes common sense so don't try to make off with something that probably has a strip.
So far I have stolen with my friend $100+ in the past school year as we have developed and refined our technique. Also, I've heard that if what you steal is less than 50 dollars they just make you pay for it or give it back, you will not got a ticket or anything.

Why is it that everyone thinks that stealing shit is what this thread is about? Just because the title says "Ideas for free money, food etc" doesn't mean blatantly rob the stuff.
Hey here's an idea, if you want free weekly checks from the government, beat up an elderly woman on the street and tie her up in your basement. Then get her to give you her social security check or threaten to kill off her family. There you go, free dough.
I guess it's just a way to weed all the cocksuckers out from all the people on the forum trying to make a quick buck while still being a morally acceptable person.

Don't pass along falsehoods like that. They will prosecute you for sure and most likely it will be a felony. The days of getting off with a warning were over once you got past the age of 6 or so.

Lol, I don't understand how ANYONE has a moral problem with stealing from Walmart.
SURE, Stealing is BAD. Were not talking about stealing from old ladies, you are. Were talking about corporate monsters, which, typically are frowned upon by the psychedelic communities.. you know... hippies, people who like things all natural, organic and peaceful.. do not like Walmart, which is a complete disaster for what I, or what I hoped the people here represent.
Yeah, sure, getting caught is really bad and it can really make your life hard. It's a risk, just like eating mushrooms or smoking weed.
We can't all be saints, to my deepest regrets.. and I'd be willing to bet you are not a person I would want judging me for anything I feel bad for, us Pagans are so independent that way.
And, I do apologize for posting about stealing, if that was not what this thread was about!!! When reading through some of the pages it certainly seemed like that's what people wanted to hear about. Sorry I even said anything, I was trying to get people to understand the reality of a theft from a corporation, and I absolutely despise thieves, as in: people who steal from other people for personal gain.
But I guess pulling con's, and waiting for hand outs is better then that.
Now let's all go back to talking about the 100%-free-stuff, which there really isn't.. besides sample cologne and coupons for cheap toilet paper. If I'm wrong, please.. surprise me! I am broke and spending most of my time trying to find an employer, and free things my family needs are always welcome, I could cry I'm trying so hard to provide basic things for people I care about. And I do apologize for any poor attitude, I really love Shroomery and the great people here, but people who think stealing from corporations who basically steal from society and push political power is wrong, baffle me.
Anywhere know where to get free mason jars, I've already looked at the neighbors recyclables..
Anyways, good luck everyone.. moral or otherwise, I want good things for all of you. If we can't look passed our differences, we will never be at peace with one another, and no one will ever stand up against Western Industrial Society - and soon there won't be much we can do about it, were losing rights and basic human needs like clockwork.
edit_
yeah, misinformation is terrible, regardless of moral debate. Don't spread nonsense, or non logic as critical thinkers like to call it.
another edit_
what's worse then misinformation? true information being passed off as misinformation by another know it all boy scout. Thanks for clearing that up Lucidreality.

http://www.mytexasdefenselawyer.com/texas-criminal-laws-penalties/theft/
In my wonderful state of Texas, as I'm sure lots of other states, if it is under 50 dollars the most they can give you is a Class C misdemeanor, but like I mentioned before, I've heard (from people who worked at Wal-Mart) that they usually don't do anything. Something about the legal work not being worth it. But it's usually up to the cop, who will probably give you the ticket, but definitely not a felony.
You know, I find it increasingly hard to come on Shroomery and post some stuff with good intentions without getting some asshole jumping down my throat. If this thread wasn't about stealing that should've been mentioned 14 pages back. And who the fuck cares about stealing from Wal-Mart?
But hey, I'm a laid back guy, so I'll just take it with a grain of salt. But I agree with everything plurfekt has said. I am completely against stealing from individuals or small business, and stealing in general is something I never partook in until recently when outside pressures opened up the doorway for me. We are products of our fucked society, and if we want to stop petty crime like theft, we have to fix the vast inequality in our country. But whatever, my two cents. Just wanted to make sure people knew I'm not spreading "falsehoods", but thanks for your concern.
