i had a real nice hustle going when i worked at wendy's that anyone can get away with.

McDonalds AND Burger King were closed for renovation so we had more customers than ever. I used to ring up a good 250 orders in a 5 hour shift. So the trick is when people buy fast food and they are going to be getting say 4 dollars back Give them 3, if they notice say my mistake and give them their other dollar but i did this for months and i only would have one or two a day say something. People are in a hurry at places like this and never pay attention or even want a receipt.


So basically you rip off a dollar from every order you can wait untill you've racked up 20+ dollars and just take whatever amount it is out of the register before you close. Your register will never be short, and no one would be the wiser.

One night i specifically remember taking a hundred dollars out of the register. I made more money doing this than i did in my actual paycheck.

id just like to say that i dont actually steal people's books.
i have done it once years ago, but i don't steal anything anymore.

also, most kids are smarter than this but some throw thier books away each semester. if you feel like going dumpster diving you could prolly find a few.

i worked at costco earlier in the year and after a week or so i decided i really didnt like the job, at the same time i also realised i could ring up a customer and have the price right there. then delete it and charge the customer the full price while as far as the store was concerned no transaction took place... i worked in the food court also and we only accepted cash, and it also is different depending on what king of till your working with. most of the major fast food companies have computers that track each transaction, deletion, ect... but costco's where old... i did get fired from there.. because i no called a couple times, and i wasnt friendly enough apparently. they did meantion tho when i left that my tills were 100 dollars over HAHA

I used to rock the $1 scam. I had some serious flair going on so I would give the customer $1 less and drop one penny in the little compartment where the debit slips go.

When I did my cash out at the end of my shift, I would count the pennies, so if there were 50...I would take $50 out of the till and it was never short. I worked in a really busy place too, so I would take at least $80 every shift. People rarely notice and if they did, it was just an honest mistake. "Sorry 'bout that! Here's your dollar!"

I also know someone who did the gas station scam. He got a job, worked for like 3 days and had his buddy come over and 'rob' him. There was about $600 cash, they split it and totally got away with it. Probably can't get away with that kind of stuff at big corporate gas stations, but the little corner station in the middle of nowhere is easy pickin's.

I also used to steal a lot of clothes. I would take armloads of stuff into the change room and put some on underneath the clothes I was wearing and put some in my backpack. Then I would buy one cheap thing, like a t-shirt or some jewelery to give the impression I was a good consumer and leave. This was years ago, I don't think you can get away with this one anymore. Most places watch you like a hawk if you have a backpack.

I would also save all my bus transfers until I had one for every day of the month, then the following month I would use the corresponding day to get on the bus.

Airmiles! When I worked at a Shell gas station I got myself an Airmiles card. Every single time I had a customer who did not have an airmiles card, I would swipe my card, or if they were standing there I would manually enter the numbers and rack up my points. I would cash them in for A&P grocery store certificates mostly.... free groceries!

Those are all from my teenage years tho. These days I just go to work and pay for my shit like a normal person.

That penny bit is good - means you don't need to blatently pocket the dollar.

This girl I know has done a lot of insurance scams. She's had her house 'robbed' several times but really she just left all her gear at a m8s until the heat was off.

She also got a guy to smash her car with his truck and claimed insurance on that.

If your a jackass then all you need to do is take out a fat personal injury insurance then go and break your arm.

One of my friends also robbed books at college. Though not off the students. He went down to the local book retailer with a sports bag and just loaded it up and walked back out the door! The fucker did it 3 times and was never caught.

Round here theres alotta chumps that pinch to order. Ask them to get you anything from a shop and they will do it half price or less. I used to get all my computer games this way. The guy would take the disks outta the box, as the discs didn't have the security tag on them.

Lots of these wouldn't work. Walmart prints the time on the reciepts, they also have plain clothes security officers working around 3. So you'ld have to have another person buy the same tv with in a few minutes of it and pass you the reciept. Also setting off the alarm on big ticket electronics tends to cause problems. Also felonly.
A much better route is to switch the bar code stickers and put a cheap similar product sticker over an expensive item. Go to an older check out person. they will deactivate the item and Print the recipt. The person at the door might check your reciept if you buy big items. Do not allow them to or buy smaller items that fit in bags. I've only done this with fish. I scooped my own and wrote the feeder fish price on them. So i got like 11 gold fish 5 dollar ones for about 80 cents.



The pharmacy one you'd obviously have to wait until near the refill date to call in that's obvious. The reasons it might not work are. I think all the persons info is on computer. SO you'd look dumb saying umm no i can't remember my birthday, ss number. Unless that's on the reciept or the storing info part is wrong.
Some people steal percription pads from doctor write up won then put their number as return would need to be out of area d store.
The continental bfast. one Lots of ritsy places give you a coupon that you have to use at the register. Everyone i've been to so They normally only give out 2 free ones per room. So this could be a way to rip yourself off.


As far as hotels go. Lots of expensive ones have bars, gyms ect. Almost all chi town ones do. THe bar is often left open. Swear to god i did this. Dress nicely get a duffel bag. Go to the bar before it opens> Go behind bar fill duffel bag with expensive liquor walk out.
The door coul be locked. PIcking doors is easy, wait until no ones around.


Buy fake mj it looks real sell it to kids. No prob even if you get busted. No ones goign to admit to trying to buy "real" stuff.

um some hard ones to pull off. Steal mail from large corporations some send out checks for millions. Set up fake accts with bank in exsact name of person on check. Cash. You also have to register a business fast. seen this on tv.

cut holes in roofs/ ladder, steal, sell on ebay.

sell ligous to kids


Everything has mark up, their are a lot of cost that go into making a business the profit margin isn't all that much this doesn't make stealing right.

stealing gas they will catch your liscense plate on camera they won't activate pump unless they can read it, then call you in to police.

Also if you enter a store the return is near the front so you can't do that take an item from the shelf and return it with an old reciept. This would be very hard to pull off.

i think they sell deactivator scanners at some places.

there's always the buy a wire cutter/stripper open car door strip ignition wire connect to battery wire spark with black wire, break stearing lock, take off.

apply for credit cards in other peoples names, using stolen mail, figure out how long they tkae to deliver, stel mail ocntaining credit card. You can use these at atm's to advance cash or buy expensive electronics online. They can trace purchases.


Make your own police uniform can't be that hard. Have friends make one too. This is felony. Take "counterfit" money from business succcch as stip clubs ect.


Steal somone's identity empty out bank account.

When I was 7 or 8, someone told me that hot salt water poured into the coinslot would give you all the cokes that you wanted.  I tried it on the first machine right outside the apartment I lived in.  When it didn't work...  I moved over and tried it on the next machine. 
























I got my ass tore off when my mom came home and found 4 white crystaline coke machines.  :whistling:

-Steal someones checkbook and forge their name, cash that shit

-I ran a sidewalk sale for a carpet company. Simply dont write a receipt for the items, keep the money

-Shoplift

-Go into a grocery store when its busy. Pick up a 30 case of beer and walk out as if there is no problem. Like someone else said, if you look scared, you'll be caught. The key is to be non-chalant, as a real paying customer would.

why am i catching so much goddamn flack for having stolen clothes as a teenager when other people are talking about armed robbery?

The person that's chastising me suggested I rob my pot dealer.

This is a hustle thread, the morality is obviously in shades of gray.

And wtf is up with the "get a job, scumbag" comment. I'm talking about shit I did when I was a teenager... obviously I've found a way to support myself since then....

i think you people need to reread posts before you flame. I was pissed because someone actually suggested that robbing a dealer was equitable to shoplifting in terms of effectiveness.... mmmmmm no. Sorry if I offended anyone, but what I did was pretty tame compared to what these other people were doing....

There's a reason I stopped shoplifting, and it was because it was stupid and boring and risky. I think lots of girls go through phases where they start stealing expensive clothes instead of buying them, especially if you grow up in a wealthy area and the pressure to only wear a t-shirt that cost $50 is intense. Then they realize that they don't need the clothes or the pressure and start wearing ripped up jeans and shirts from middle school.

I got started stealing with books from Barnes and Noble because I didn't have enough money for the books I wanted, and the library didn't carry them because they were uniformly banned in the backwards hole of a region I lived in. How are you supposed to read Kurt Vonnegut when you're a broke ass fifteen year old, not allowed to get a job, and your library decides you can't have access to it for free?
I treated it like my own personal library, and I usually returned things I'd nabbed from the bookshelves.

Well, being a teenager means you're at least 13.
At 14 you could get a job, and spend all of your money on the shit you stole, since you have no other expenses at that age.
So yes, you should have gotten a job.
Or at least not not excuse it now.
I stole when I was a teenager too. I was also a scumbag for doing so.

I wasn't allowed to get a job. I already posted that, but you didn't read it.

Unfortunately I was raised in a household that held firmly to the belief that

a. a woman getting a job under the age of 18 is asking to get raped

b. children should not and WILL NOT have jobs if they are in school.

Since you need parental consent to get a job when you are underage, I was unable to attain one.

My allowance was $5 a week.

This doesn't excuse my idiocy for shoplifting. (If you've read any of my posts, I admit this was reckless and fucking stupid). But it does explain why I WASNT ALLOWED TO WORK.

As soon as I turned 18 I worked two jobs all summer before I went to university (where I was told not to get a job, or else $30000 of tuition would not be paid). I worked full time as an accountant/data entry slave, and part time in the evening at Gamestop.

I like working and have since spent a lot of time on the job market. I am by no means lazy.

It's unfortunate you need parental consent to get a job, I don't recall ever needing to.
And you're right, I didn't read your post. I assumed it was filled with the same tired justification everyone has for stealing. What a surprise, I was right, it does. Basically it comes down to this: You don't have the money to get what you want, so you steal it. In my book this isn't reasonable justification, so frankly I don't care if you weren't permitted to have a job. You stole, whatever, it's not a big deal that you did it, it's a big deal that you think it's okay.

Oh, and I also never called you lazy.

Of course it's not a reasonable justification for stealing. Stealing is something idiotic teenagers do for kicks. I was an idiotic teenager. I stole.

My defense was not based on the morality of theft, which is not moral, but whether it was more moral to rob your local pot dealer than to rob a large, evil, exploitative corporation.

In general, I think it is immoral to steal, unless:

You are starving and need food

Your children are starving and need food

You are caught in a natural disaster and need to forage for items that are useful: inflatable rafts, fire extinguishers, gas masks, anti biotics, etc.

And I still think it's immoral to PURCHASE items from those corporations. Just as immoral as stealing from them. By purchasing their products you are supporting irresponsible personnel habits embedded in the corporate culture.

If anyone is interested in abstinence from consumerism, i would like to refer you to the Reverend Billy, a creation of the artist Billy Talen, and his Church of Stop Shopping.
