**HOW TO STEAL FROM WAL-MART**

Ok, so I'm not an actual member of QiC... I just felt like sharing this bit of information to all my fellow thiefs and Cyborg was nice enough to let me spread my words through this mag. I will cover several methods of getting exactly what you want from Wal-Mart, all of which I have successfully tried. Yes, they *do* work.. if done right. This is gonna be pretty damn long.. but, i figure you can't have too much information on something that you don't know about. So listen up! ;)

Well, first off, I'll list the different department numbers. These are very important. I will later refer to certain departments that you will need to have in memory when when you try this stuff out. *NOTE* These departments are the same for every damned Wal-Mart... all of em.

52. Notions (uh.. wtf? forget this one too)

Ok.. that's it for Departments. Now for some useful codes you will also need to know.

• --> CODE BLUE : BOMB THREAT --- Not really needed, just felt like throwing this in.. ;)
• --> CODE RED : FIRE --- Not really needed, just felt like throwing this in.. ;)
• --> CODE BLACK: TORNADO --- Not really needed, just felt like throwing this in.. ;)

• --> Zone Defense: Wal-Mart's term for "Straighten this shit hole up" it just simply means that.. it has nothing to do with any regards to security of any kind.

• --> Red Line/Green Line: This is used in older model Wal-Marts. You can tell if they use red/green line by looking up at the front checkout and seeing what kind of phones they have up there. If they are these big brown/beige looking phones with square buttons for each line.. then, it is an old model phone system. Here is an examply of hearing this term used: "Billy Bob, pick up on the red line.... Billy Bob, please pick up on the red line". After that person finishes paging that, they will then hit the RED or GREEN button depending on which they told the fool to pick up on. It is just an empty line that they use to talk on.

More on phone codes:

As I said, the above "red/green" phone system is the old phone system and there aren't too many of those around anymore. The one most widely used that I am aware of use three digit phone extensions for each phone. I will attempt to recall all the phone extensions.. or at least the important ones.

• 150 - Service Desk
• 15X - Front Checkout Register #1-9 (ex. 152 is register 2)
• 16X - Front Checkout Register #10-19 (same as above)
• 111 - Phone near Toys/Hardware
• 116 - Garden Center
• 109 - Sporting Goods/Automotives
• 105 - Electronics
• 106 - Electronics
• 123 - Mens' Wear
• 125 - Shoes
• 134 - Ladies Wear (often times is where the "switchboard" lady is)
• 139 - Snack Bar
• 140 - Pharmacy
• 18X - can't remember all of these.. but they are the phones in the back of the store.. such as lay-a-way, employee lounge, UPC office (that the place they have all their computers with all the pricing info and employee files), also manager's office which btw, has the tv monitors in them for the cameras, etc.

These phone extensions will be called out frequently. For example... "Ladies Wear dial 152 for a price check"... simply means for the bitch in ladies clothes to call register 2 to get a price on some fat ladies underwear and shit.

• --> Code 100: Sometimes used for the store manager. (i'll explain later)
• --> Code 101: Used for an assistant manager
• --> Code 102: yeah yeah.. it keeps going up till you run outta managers.

If you hear the above codes being used, it will most likely be in the following form: "Code 100 to Lay-a-way" or "100 to Lay-a-way". They just use it so you don't who they are referring to. Well, now you do. ;) Also, not all stores use these codes for their managers, some stores will just call the bastards by their names.

• --> Code 99 / Code 33 : This is often times what the Wal-Mart Security man is called. Although, they may use different codes, they try to be different. There is usually only one security man per store.. and sometimes, they have one security man for a whole area... he would just work at several stores switching days between them. If they do not call him this.. he will be called something unusual.. something that hasn't been listed yet... and most likely will be just a two digit number.
• --> Code 1: This is referring to the maintance type people who work at Wal-Mart. They are the people who gather carts from the parking lot, sweep the floors, clean up spills, and other minimal tasks like that. You will hear "Code 1 to the Snack Bar for a clean up"... or "Code 1 to the front for carts".

Security Cameras:

Ok.. this is a scam by Wal-Mart. At most, any store will only have a total of 3-4 cameras. And, usually they only have TWO cameras total! All those damn black globes on the ceiling are empty!

The thing is.. you never really know which ones have the cameras. If you hear "Security Cameras scan and record Section A / B / C / D / etc. or ALL Sections".. well, you can TOTALLY disregard that SHIT! The cameras used in Wal-Mart do NOT record.. and Wal-Mart does NOT have the store divided into security sections with letter abbreviations.. that's right, it's BULLSHIT! They announce this statement periodically to make worry potential thieves.

_________________________________________

OK, that's it for codes and stuff.. now on to the stealing part.

All of the methods that will be discussed were tested with TWO people.. and with my experience work best with two... actually, you NEED to have two people there.. so, bring a friend.

Method #1

Possible items: ram chips, mice, disks, any small object

You and your friend go into the Electronics department or whatever dept. you plan to steal from. I will assume in all cases this will be the Electronics Department. Get a shopping cart when you first walk into the store.. it just looks better if you have one. Once in the Electronics Dept. you need to notice how many employees are. For the optimum situation, there needs to be only ONE employee in there. If there is two, don't worry, you can just wait around and look at stuff and hope that one leaves or goes on a break or something. The best times to go are when it's slow.. the busier the store, the more likely there will be more than one employee working. Start out by looking around.. notice the number of customers in the area.. go find what you want to take.. size it up in your head. Then, leave that dept. and go to the toys dept... you need to find something cheap but in a big box. They have tons of good boxes there... something like a little kids big wheel type thing.. whatever... just something cheap (cause you gotta buy it) in a big box. Place the box in the cart... go back to the Electronic Dept. Once again.. notice how many employees are there.. and how many customers. Now, depending on the situation, you should probably split up with your friend. One should go to the item you plan to steal and put it in the cart. The other friend should ask the employee about an item AWAY from the entrance/exit to electronics. Since most Wal-Marts have the rule of "You must pay for whatever you get *from* Electronics *in* Electronics". You need to sneak it out without the employee seeing. If there are customers in the dept. you could just wait around until one of them distracts the employee then take off outta there. This is often times the hardest part of the whole thing. But, if you get caught on this part, no harm done.. just say, "Oh, i was gonna do some more shopping and buy it all at once"... easy. Now that you have the merchandise in the cart with the toy box.. you need to cut open the toy box with either a SMALL knife/razor blade (personally, I prefer a razor blade since it's so small and easy to conceal). If you forgot to bring something.. don't worry.. just go over to the Hardware Dept. which is near the toy dept. and get a razor blade off the shelf. Now that the tape is cut, you need to stick the items you want to steal into the box. This takes some patients. You need to walk around UNSUSPICIOUSLY as if you were shopping like a normal person. The best places to be when you are gonna stick it in the box are either the Automotives area near the oil, the Stationary department, near the magazine rack, the Housewares area near the microwaves, or in the toy department near the bicycles. All of the above are NOT the standard places people do their shoplifting.. but are excellent places that aren't watched too much. The standard places that people ALWAYS go to when shoplifting are, Domestics, Hardware near the ceiling fans, and the Infant Dept. I worked for Wal-Mart for over 2 and a half years and I saw the majority of theft come from those areas. So.. Avoid these areas! Ok, now you have the item in the box, concealed... you need to close the lid... if it doesn't stay down, place another item on top so it's not open for everyone to see. Go over to the stationary area where the tape is.. yep, you guessed... take a roll of tape off the shelf that is the closest to the tape on your toy box. This part will require good team work... one will need to watch out for employees and customers.. the other will need to cut the tape and close up the box with it... it need to be one long piece of tape securely closing the lid. Put the tape back onto the shelf. Now, you're done... you have what you want in the box, taped up.. now you need to just walk around the store for a while.. just bullshit around... making sure no one is following you or watching. Some security people will use black walkie talkies.... as I said before, they will only usually have ONE security person at a store.. but, they often times will "recruit" employees to be "temporary security members" when they have a suspicious person in the store. So.. look out for people with walkie talkies.. and remember, you are still in absolutely NO DANGER because you haven't left the store yet. And, if no one saw you put the items inside the toy box, they have NO proof that you actually did something wrong. If they were to catch you and TRY to accuse you of wrong doing.. just say you don't know jack shit.. and they CAN'T do a damn thing!

After walking around for 15 minutes or so.. you take your cart with the toy box in it up to the front registers. It doesn't really matter which one you pick. Pay for the box with cash or credit card if you're into carding. Then, just stroll right outta there.. don't move too quick.. look around for possible security people. And again, even if they do stop you for whatever reason they may think they have.... they have NOTHING! They have NO proof... even if they open the box up and say.. "Where did this come from"... you just say.. "Fuck if I know.. I was buying that toy for my little brother.... I don't know how that got in there". I've seen it done before for those unfortunate enough to get stopped... they have to let them go. Same holds true for the cashier... rarely you will find one that will actually check the box.. they don't have time and really don't suspect that someone will go to all the trouble to cut open a box and stuff it with shit and tape it back up.. so they don't even look... hell, they can't do that with every box that every customer brings up.

Ok.. so you're outside.. go straight to your car and put the shit in without talking about it.. drive off. Later you can bring the toy back and get your hard earned money back! ;)

Method #2

Possible items: Medium sized items such as hard drives, tape backups, a game, etc.

Ok.. with this method.. I personally snagged two 250meg Hard Drives (the biggest they carried back then.. ehe).

This time.. also get a cart when entering the store. Go to the Electronics dept. Look around and find what you wanna steal.. put that item in your cart. Have your friend pick out something kinda bulky. We picked out those big plastic vcr tape holders.. they were big and just the right size for a big wal-mart bag. One person needs to get out of electronics with the cart that has the stuff you wanna steal. The other person needs to buy the bulky items from the Electronics dept and go meet you somewhere. The rest is just easy switch-a-roo. You take the big shit out.. replace it with the nice new hard drives or whatever.. you could even re-staple the bag closed with the recipient all nice and neat. Then just walk out. Nothing to it. I had bought two of those vcr tape holders and replaced them with two 250 Meg hard drives. Pretty good swap huh? ;) The only draw back on this method is that you actually loose some cash.. ;( hehe

Method #3 (final method)

Possible items: Large items such as cdrom multimedia kits, monitors, printers, etc..

Ok.. finally the last method.. getting tired of typing this shit.. hehe As always.. get a cart when you go in. Go to Electronics, pick out what you wanna steal.. I for instance took two double speed multimedia kits. Put the item(s) in the cart... then once again.. take the cart with items of interest out of Electronics. Have the other person buy anything from Electronics and pay for it there. ANYTHING.. it doesn't make a damn rats ass difference if it's big or small.. just something that the nice cashier staples up for you. Then, you go meet your buddy.. and you just fucking put the payed for bag on top of the big items you wanna steal. Those items are gonna be too big for any wal-mart bag... so they just put em in the cart for you. That's it.. easy.. you just walk out with the shit in the cart with bag on top. Just be careful on the way out of the store.. look around for people and shit as discussed on method #1.

Ok.. now for the fun disclaimer. Please do not try these above methods as they might get your ass thrown in jail. They are meant for informational purposes only. I do not take any responsibility for your fuck-ups as you have been fully warned of the possible consequences.

Peace out..

One last thing... for some fun at Wal-Mart that will have the employees running around like fools.. try this. Go up to one of the phones found on a poll somewhere in the store. It must be the newer phones discussed way up there.. NOT with ones with the red/green lines. Pick the receiver up so it's just barely off hook resting on the phone... then press 71 ... that broadcasts over the PA system.. it will be stuck in that mode.. and NO ONE else will be able to page because only one phone at a time can page. Then, when they try to page, it will give them a busy signal. And they will not know what phone is making it busy.. thus making them run around to every goddamned phone in the store until they find the one that's fucked up! haha Have fun and be careful!!
