Unluckiest Charm in the Box
For those that need help, look no further for here is some advice that I've managed to find very helpful 
HOW TO SHOPLIFT
1: Wear baggy clothing This is much easier to do in cooler climates. You may look suspicious wearing loose sweatpants and an overcoat in Florida. Be sure to choose a coat with inside pockets.
2: Pick the right store This really depends on the sort of merchandise you are interested in acquiring. Try to stick to stores that sell things that can be carried in a pocket. For instance, you will not get very far with a stereo shoved under your shirt. Likewise, pick merchandise that has at least some value. Nobody is going to be all that impressed if you steal a head of garlic. Compact discs, small electronic equipment, watches and jewelry are all very popular items.
3: Check the security Be sure to familiarize yourself with the security and surveillance equipment. Is there a sensor at the door? These are usually easy to find. Cameras? Most security cameras are hidden behind one-way glass or inside of darkened glass bulbs on the ceiling. Armed guard? If there is an armed guard, you're trying to take something that's too expensive. Go somewhere else.
4: Misdirect This is a magician's skill that comes in handy when shoplifting. (Most professional magicians don't pay for anything.) What you want to do is select the item you wish to take with you from the store. Position yourself near it, and then pick up a DIFFERENT item. Hold this second item up, look at it in the light, lick it if you want to, just so long as anybody watching you do this is observing your actions with this particular item. Meanwhile, your other hand is grabbing the object you actually want and slipping it into your coat pocket.
5: Getting out the door Sprinting to the exit at this point would be a good indication that you've done something you should not have done. Instead, walk calmly out of the building, provided there are no sensors. Otherwise, see below.
6: Fooling the sensors There are a great number of ways to get past the door sensors. Understand first that what the sensors are looking for are electronic tags on the merchandise. The first thing you should do before slipping your prize into your pocket is identify the security tag. Pulling it back out of your pocket to check is not recommended.
-- The courtesy sensor This is when the sensor is not directly in front of the door, and customers are just expected to know to walk through it. Just don't walk through it. Or, if you are under surveillance, start to walk through it, and then drop your keys on the outside of the sensor. Lean over to pick them up and then walk around.
-- The friendly counter-person Often, there is a pad near the register that deactivates security tags. Find a friendly counter-person, start up a conversation, and ask to see something behind them. Lean over to point at what you're interested in. When their back is turned, rub your pocket against the deactivation pad.
-- Catch the shoplifter This requires some skill. What you want to do is sidle up near another customer-- preferably one with a large overcoat of their own-- and slip an article of merchandise into one of their pockets without them noticing. (Since they are probably also shoplifting, be careful to check your own pockets after making contact with them.) If you cannot find someone with appropriately large pockets, try and remove the security tag (most are adhesives) from something else in the store, and stick it onto the stranger's back. Then, when the stranger attempts to leave, make sure you are right behind them. The sensor will go off, of course, but you're not the one who will get arrested. As the helpful stranger is being pummelled into submission, slip out of the store.
Things to know
-- Shoplifting is against the law.
-- On the other hand, retail stores budget for shoplifting. The price of the merchandise is based, in part, on the assumption that some merchandise simply disappears without ever being paid for. So essentially, what you are taking has already been paid for by the friendly shoppers who have come before you.
-- Shoplifting is a great way to prove to the other kids in school that you are really cool.
