Tips on stealing books from stores? I'm about to go to borders and need to get a gift, but don't have any cash.

>> No.1525016

1. Go to the library
2. Get a library card (they're free)
3. Rent a book
4. Don't pay the librarian
5. Run out the library and into your getaway car (make sure the car is running in-case they run after you)

>> No.1525015

who is the gift for?

back in the 8th grade i used to have a friend who would steal porn from the grocery store using this method

Just a girl I know. I want her to put me in the friends zone and I figured sending her a present while shes inan art program in Denmark would do the work for me.

I'd rather rip on a business because the library is such an undeserving target of crime.

It's been a while since I did this but do they put stickers or something in the book that set off alarms like they do with games and movie?

WHAT...THE..FUCK..

how would that stop a girl liking you? if anything that seems like a really nice and flattering thing to do showing you care about someone. I assumed you were just acquaintes and you wanted to be friends, not stop her liking you.

When I grabbed the best american science writing last week, there was a tag under the pricing sticker and it literally fell out. If you are going to borders and shes into popsci, I would go for that.

spending 30 dollars to ship a book to someone you aren't in a relationship with demonstrates lower value. Unless I am in some kind of shitty teen romantic comedy right now, this will result in her thinking less of me and putting me in the friend zone. It's not hard to grasp.

oh yeah i forgot how much books cost. ok carry on. but still it isnt a stretch to think that under different circumstances you would be showing mutual interest through buying a gift. and also you assume you can control her feelings by buying her a gift so really you're not undoubtedly right about what the gift shows though i agree with you now.

not sending anything demonstrates higher value because it implies I've got more important things going on in my life than and her if she wants anything to do with me she will have to make the first move. Plus I'd rather she think I am a nerd than a jerk.

OP, if you have to make an effort to be in the friend zone, you suck with people.

Also...
1. Borrow money off a friend (you're going to give it back later today)
2. Go to store. Put one copy of book in your pants, and one in your hand. Go to the front and pay for the book.
3. If the alarm goes off, say the person at the counter couldn't deactivate it, and show the security person your receipt. Leave with your purchased book and your stolen one.
4. Later that day, return the purchased book.

Depends where you live. USA is a lot more strict with booklifting. Europe, esp. UK, is pretty cool. A lot of stores don't have tags at all, some (namely Waterstones) have paper tags that they take out at checkout (lolwut?!) but some have real tags on that you either chisel, with keys or whatever, but I'd stay away from the latter if I were you.

Actual method: any item of clothing or bag which can hold a book(s). Put book in said article. Do it away from cameras in a deserted part of the store. Cameras often don't work anyway. Pretend to be looking at something on a shelf in front of you and slip it in. Work out all cool-like.

Seriously, I totally would at least try if all the stores in town weren't chains that ran the good stores out of business. I'm not usually some kind of anti-business faggot but the practices of big book chains like literally throwing away an unimaginable number of books every year because they were turned into movies and have new covers is completely reprehensible and shows how little they care about the products they sell.

>> No.1525485

>bag which can hold a book(s)

bad move. store clerks are much more likely to search a bag.

put the book down your trousers if you have to steal...act confidently and you'll probably get away with it.
