What's stopping me from walking into a YSL/Kiton/Balenciaga store, putting on about 10k in clothes and just walking out? Not trying to hide it or anything. It'll take at least 20minutes for the police to arrive, the workers won't stop me, they can't really do some forensic investigation on me.
Then I'll just enjoy my new $10l Kiton suit for the next 20 years.

good idea go ahead and do it bro nothing bad will happen
they have security personal
Do it and post your haul
they are going to chase me down the street, when I go out for a smoke? They're going to get themselves assault charges?
dont let your memes be dreams user
are you fucking stupid?
go try this and enjoy your new clothes for about a day before the police come knocking. I believe $500+ is a felony too
>They're going to get themselves assault charges?
lmao yeah they sure will go ahead and try it
so... the police station will track a hundred of hours of surveillance video around town, somehow figure out how my face matches with my home address? I don't know how that could ever be possible.
They have the same security tag things that fast fashion stores have. It will beep on your way out and you might very well be covered in color. Plus you WILL be chased. That said, if you can run, you might get away with it, then again you're not the first person to think of this so they probably do have their ways of avoiding thiefs like you.
At least wear hat and sunglasses.
You have to remember that people who work there will pay for this because normally it's cashiers fault when something gets stolen.
You will also need magnets to remove tags. Depending on how much they still they will start an investigation. Plus also don't forget that passangers will probably try to stop you.
Undercover cops patrol these locales and maintain contact with the vendors. Really, they do. They're way overzealous about it, too.
Like, 2-3 times a year in NYC, some black or hispanic kid will legit buy a Gucci Belt, an LV bag or whatever other signifier piece with cash/credit, they will get a receipt, be on the cameras paying, have an employee who can back them up, and they won't even make the subway down the block without being swarmed by fucking undercover cops.
If you think about it, the companies and designers making this shit want nothing less than their brand to be seen on one of the poors (an assumption about race that the cops are making in this situation, not me). That would cost them vital brand identity and cachet, two things that you can build but never buy.
And these are billion dollar industries we're talking about here. They are to some degree important to the national economy. Think "Too big to fail". Why else would fucking Interpol care about a fake bag purporting to be from a shit designer like Marc Jacobs? In a sane world, would we a assemble a fucking Task Force to track down all those counterfeit louis vuitton bags that midwestern moms like to ask me about in the streets of Chinatown when I'm out copping Char Siew Bao and Lortabs?
I don't think so, user.
My experience with high end is you always have an SA up your ass. If you're not known to them you're not exactly gonna be strutting around the store in thousands of dollars worth of gear.
But what should be stopping you is your goddamn conscience. You are a participant in society and therefore help set the tone for how society functions. Contribute to a sense of trust and community, or diminish it; it's your choice.
Wait what did the police do to the poorfags who bought gucci belt etc? They can't arrest people for buying things legally.
They can arrest, they can hold them for a day, and they can theoretically charge them, but the case would never happen because it would be destroyed in court and the media and the department would be successfully sued for millions.

Hey OP, if you're seriously gonna go shoplift shit and run that risk - which you SHOULD NOT - then you really gots do some research on the actual technologies used to prevent shoplifting. Start with this.
Interesting, thanks.
If I took a magnet into a store why couldn't I take a bunch of clothes to try on, take the tags off of some of them, put them on underneath the clothes I was wearing when I walked in and just walk out?
in the rick paris store they literally lock the door when u enter and unlock it before u leave
i entered wearing ccp and guidi so i just assume its to keep the mudskins out
At the level you want to lift at it's so much tougher.
On a lighter note I have a massive rare earth magnet I used to take to blockbuster video back in the day and pass over the new releases, wiping them shits off the face of the planet.
ok jakob hetzer
jakob hetzer is a cac herb
You're dumb if you think they're gonna let you "go out for a smoke" in a 10k suit you haven't paid for. But no, go ahead. It would be funny to know you tried and failed.
If you're gonna steal, learn the law and consequences.
Someone can correct me if I'm wrong. (This might just be CA, USA law.)
Under $50 lift will likely be thrown out on first offense.
Above $50 or second offense will usually lead to some sort of criminal punishment and anti theft classes (which you have to pay for).
$950 lift or more becomes grand theft, which is a felony. Now you're looking at possible severe jail time/fines/and permanent record shit.
And MOST IMPORTANTLY, if they believe you brought a tool into a store to help you steal, the charge jumps to Commercial Burglary (felony), regardless of dollar amount.
The tool, whether an alluminum lined bag or magnet, shows that you entered the store with the intent to steal. Like with murder, society views premeditated crimes as more sinister, implying you've made a craft out of criminality and had time to ponder and disregard the consequences.
>You have to remember that people who work there will pay for this because normally it's cashiers fault when something gets stolen
what? Ive worked in designer stores, for years when I was in college and nobody cared when shit got stolen. I made minimum wage when I was working for gucci, you think I care when a $3000 jacket goes missing? Worst that happened was maybe our boss being a little grumpy for an hour but he didn't care either desu
Well I am no thief but my best theoretical guess would be to...
>have a couple friends walk either dressed as hobos (asset protection will always follow these guys) and provide distraction.
>Or have them feing a physical altercation.
Again I have no clue how to steal so don't take my word.
It isn't don't listen to him
You can probably get away with it but if you don't that's a 10k theft charge which is pretty serious and I guarantee the store will press charges and will have the legal team to handle it.
Cheers. If you want to be a minor league criminal of some sort, consider not being one first, and then plan the shit out of every move you make.
>(an assumption about race that the cops are making in this situation, not me)
you know you didn't need to make this point
in fact by doing so you just did signify that you were making an assumption about race in the first place lmao
>and risk getting caught stealing thousands worth of clothing, which is a felony and probably stays on your pemanent record for ever.
Shitty bait, try harder
if u can get assaults expunged how cant you get grand theft or whatever removed? just asking. or does it depend on the state
>the workers won't stop me
Retailfag here. Yes, they will.
Seriously, we're told to immediately get a manager if someone tries to drop $200+.
where do you work retail at?
Forever 21, but moving to Nordstrom soon for commission/higher salary. Things might be different in terms of how much a customer can spend at a higher-end store without bringing themselves attention.
>You have to remember that people who work there will pay for this because normally it's cashiers fault when something gets stolen.
where does this idea come from? it's not true at all. retailers would much rather something just get stolen than have to pay for an employee who was injured trying to prevent a theft
worked at american apparel last year and people would steal all the time
if someone was acting sus we'd have to hang around them so they would be pressured into not taking anything but we were always told we couldn't check their bags or stop them from leaving the store
some kids ran out with clothes once and the security never got there in time too
AA isn't high end, but i got the impression that you could get away with stealing pretty easily
Most stores with high end merch have a pretty sweet layout to prevent theft
Mildblend learned their lesson the hard way
that doesn't seem like that much. is fake money really that big of an issue?
bump
High end fashion boutiques only serve a few customers at a time.
If you look like a poor pleb they will straight up escort you to the door if you dare to enter the premises.
High end jewelry and watch stores have two door "airlock" type of entrance and security guards and they serve only one customer at a time.
it’s called risk vs reward you retarded autist.
How about walk into a sports clothing shop, put on running shoes, expensive arcteryx gear and running out?
you mean you do that?
