ILPT How to shoplift from Bestbuy like a pro (written by Bestbuy Loss Prevention)

Dont worry about the alarms at all. Don't even worry about the plastic cases on items. The door alarms go off literally all the time on legit purchases because the interior security tags never get deactivated properly. More people get caught stealing attempting to remove the security measures than they do just stealing the security tag along with the item. Spider-wraps (the wire wrap doo-dads that are wrapped around items)... just steal those with the item and confidently beep your way out. They're supposed to beep loudly if you cut them off but half the time that doesnt work either. You beeping on the way out of the door literally means nothing. If you get that far you are already home free anyways. So many legit customers walk out the door beeping and ignore us asking for their receipt. I've had customers refuse to show me their receipt and walk out the door with several items. Nothing LP can do about it. Again TLDR don't worry about security tags, just conceal and leave. The only things you can't steal are items that are locked in a case, you need an employee you get the item for you.
