*If this is in the wrong place I apologize*
So I've been a Tumblr user for about a year and a half. I started getting into it as a fandom thing, and now I even have a sideblog for makeup. Since I started doing this for the makeup, I would look through makeup-related tags to discover new things to reblog.
I've discovered there is a whole sub-community on Tumblr of "lifters." They shoplift and brag about their hauls and stashes with tags like "sticky fingers" "five finger discount" "shoplifter" etc. It's revolting to me that these people steal hauls (and I've seen several hauls well over a thousand dollars, including items such as Clarisonics.) To avoid legal trouble (I think?!?) some of them post disclaimers saying their blog is "role playing" and they actually buy the items and just fantasize about stealing. Personally, I think that's bull. Especially when they all post and share tips on how to get hooks and magnets and get around cameras at specific stores (Ulta is a popular one.)
It makes me sick that I spend my hard-earned money and budget and find good deals when there are people who walk away with hundreds from Ulta/Sephora and then brag about it on the Internet. It looks like they don't even do it because they want the makeup, they like the high from stealing and they resell on ebay.
I guess I just wanted to vent about how annoyed I am with these serial shoplifters.
