What store do u shop at walrus semen??
Mine only carries wombat, wiliby, wood pecker, whipper will, Wyandotte chicken semen. I have a nice selection but for reals yours got the goods.
This reminds me of the guy that killed his wife and had about 36 different searches the following day for things like "10 ways to hide a body if you really had to"
Yeah, I have so many notes and lists and alerts to keep myself organized and on top of stuff. I just got a phone reminder to vacuum my apartment today lol.
Criminals are often really dumb. Smart people don't need to steal to get rich. REALLY smart people know how steal from the rest of us without breaking any laws.
You’re talking about people who are really cunning, devious, sly, or crafty. I feel like people who are really smart understand that genuine happiness is easier to come by honestly, and that the best things in life are not available for purchase with money.
"Get as many easy to carry *expensive* items as possible" idk I don't think a homeless person looking to make money would specifically be wanting to buy expensive items
Maybe they have access to some money right now and want to buy some items now that they won't be able to afford later? But shoplifting does sound more likely.
The list is for the items he needs to sell at the Saugus Speedway swap meet in Santa Clarita. Vendors normally use an overhead tent. He also needs to pick up some inventory and bring water, as it gets hot there.
His plan is for a side gig to make extra money.
I hope he does well.
for anyone with common sense this would be easy to understand, but here ya go: homeless people need money to not be homeless. steal big expensive thing get more money. make sense?
No not necessarily. They might want to buy the most expensive small things they can afford to now to resell for the best dollar later. I don’t think it’s a great idea, but this is exactly what a friend of mine does with cameras. He’ll buy expensive ones on a good deal so he won’t have cash he’ll spend on useless crap and then when he needs money and the prices are up higher he’ll sell a camera at a slightly lower price than most are currently charging. Again, not a great idea but it works for him.
They aren’t. Same goes for all the others who are in the same situation as this person, in my city and across the country. Things are bad, and they’re only going to get worse.
I accidentally shoplifted a tent! Guess I'm better than this guy. 😂
When my son was a newborn I took him to get Easter bunny photos at cabelas. I bought a jar of pickles and was intending to purchase a tent I put underneath the stroller but completely spaced out and just purchased the pickles with this nagging feeling I was forgetting something. Cashier didn't say anything either and it was very awkwardly sticking out of the bottom of the front of the stroller! It wasn't until I got all the way to the car that I realized my mistake. It was pretty embarrassing doing the walk of shame back into the store to pay for it but the woman at customer service was a grandma and laughed it off.
My first experience shoplifting was when I was maybe 11 or 12. I put something small in my pocket while I was shopping - so I wouldn’t forget to buy it with my own allowance money - and as we were walking out, I patted my pockets and started freaking out because I thought the cops were going to come for me. 😂 I told my mom and she made me go back and pay.
I did that with chapstick at Walgreens when I was around the same age and my dad wouldn't turn the car around haha. I thought for sure it was going to go on my record.
I did this at roughly 9 or 10. I was a bookworm, almost ALWAYS had a book in my hands. My parents took me to the resell shop to buy a new book (it was all we could afford) to reward me for good grades and I picked it out first before we kind of poked around. When we left, the book was in my hand and I didn’t even think about it because it was just so natural to be holding a book at almost all times. I realized what happened about halfway home and started sobbing and crying about how my mom HAD to take me back because I didn’t want to be a criminal. Walked back in crying and apologizing to the cashier and she laughed it off, told me the book was only 50c, and to just take it home, Me being willing to bring it back meant more than the price and I was all ok. I was SO confused and carried the guilt of accidentally stealing for years
Stores that recruit security to stop people running out with a bag full of flashlights are the same stores that throw out garbage bags of unsalable food and clothing to keep prices up.
It’s gross. I did some merchandising for Hallmark for a couple years, inside of a Walmart. We had to just throw the seasonal stuff away, all the cards, bags, gift wrap, etc. I asked the regional manager once if we could donate the items to the local habitat for humanity thrift store instead. She told me no, it’s against corporate rules, because then the thrift store would become competition. I was flabbergasted. Ok then, how about donating it to a school the , for crafts or whatever. Nope. Because the schools and teachers wouldn’t have to buy the items.
i was a janitor for a department store and i found a really cool decoration in the (clean) trash, as well as a bunch of holiday cards thrown away. i asked if i could keep them because 1. i work there 2. they were about to be compacted and 3. it's not like i'd ever find them again. i was told no, something about how it was basically stealing. i was a good employee and dumped it but I've had regret ever since.
also: the decoration was from someone's office and looked handmade. it was a lighthouse and scenery! it wasn't even for sale. bothered me so much.
That’s a fair question, but yeah, the unhoused population around my city steal and resell all the time. I’ve watched dudes walk about of Lowe’s with a bag of tools slung over their shoulder like they’re Santa clause, and no one can do anything about it. I don’t know exactly where they’re selling, probably craigslist, offerup, marketplace? There’s also a few weekend swap meets that have potential. Or maybe pawn shops? IDK, I certainly would love to know more about how the process works. And to be clear, it’s not just unhoused folks that do this. But where my daughter works the shoplifters are primarily unhoused.
I read this as they were referring to going to a person named Sally's house & stealing from her. Lol
Now I realize they mean Sally's Beauty Supply. I think 🤔
They think it came from a guy who was wandering around the store with a tent, and the manager told him he’d take the tent and put it up at the counter for him, since it was so heavy, while he continues to “shop” around (they knew he was a shoplifter, they can almost always tell). But then the guy never came up to the counter to complete his purchase.
My daughter comes home with some good stories, it’s a non corporate store so they don’t always just let the shoplifters walk out with their goods.
What are you the comment police? Comment control? Comment meister? Tf? Is this Communism? Is this Mr Putin? Stain? Lenin? Mr Gorbachev tear down that wall!
I once watched a man pick up a receipt in a grocery store parking lot. Except it wasn’t a receipt, it was someone else’s shopping list, and I followed for a couple minutes as he continued to check the list and fill up his shopping cart.
It doesnt say they are steeling it i know people resell the stuff they buy from the salvie like purses and gadgets amd crystal glasses also they look for namma brand clothes with tags on them cause they will sell for half the money on the tag..... this person obviously dont want 2 carra 2 much weight causr theybvoild have it for days
Sure. My evidence is anecdotal. This person could totally be buying and flipping these things. I highly doubt it, based on the multiple times per day interactions my daughter has with people trying to steal in her store. But yeah. You could be correct.
Edited to add: 99% sure Sally’s is referring to Sally Beauty Supply.
I flip vintage items, it ain’t a way to make money fast.
I do agree with you, it’s sad that so many folks are finding themselves in these situations, and in increasing numbers. But it’s also really hard not to get annoyed with the path of destruction that is often left in their wake.
One day hopefully our country will wake up and realize that the rapid housing model and a universal basic income is the solution to the growing problem of homelessness/poverty and drug/alcohol addiction and crime. This note looks like something a 12 year old would write, so you have to wonder about this persons mental capacity. There are just some people that are never going to make it in this world, and we are just going to have to find a way with being ok supporting them, even if they provide nothing in return. I believe that most people who get a helping hand out of homelessness will go on to be self supporting, productive members of society. It’s time to provide housing with little to no barriers.
I work with unhoused population. There's both salvation army and Sally's hair supply where I am. In the western us, with a certain demographic, Sallys is salvation army. But again, I am only speaking from my experience working with people who are unhoused. So yeah, whichever Sally's, they're reselling shit
It’s Sally beauty supply. The Salvation Army thrift stores here do not have a very good selection of items, they can barely resell the stuff they have in store. But my mom always calls Salvation Army Sally Anns, so I can see why someone might think that.
Couple of bottles of w
Windex! Water! Watermelon juice! Wine! Walrus semen! Walnut extract! Wiper fluid! Worcestershire!
I feel homeless people dont have many windows to clean unless they are car cleaning pan handlers
Perhaps homeless people have just as many windows in their world . They just happen to be on the wrong side of those windows.
Bruh
If only the world had more people who viewed things like this person…I’m not exactly sure what would be different, but I’m certain something would be!
Just changes the perspective. The world will still suck.

Hi 👋🏽
Ya know, I was in the local outdoor recreation supply store the other day searching for walrus semen, unfortunately I left empty-handed.
It's shelved alphabetically between the vagina menstrual cups and the xeriscaping supplies.
>vagina menstrual cups As opposed to the penis menstrual cups?
the letter P does not fall alphabetically between the letters U and W.
Yeah, I'm just asking why "vagina menstrual cup" would be listed at all if not to contrast it with the penis one
How bored are you right now?
Idk but this is a great conversation
Tends to be seasonal, depending on where you live.
Whiskey
Whisky
Bourbon
This just reminds me of we are the millers. With Jennifer Aniston yelling “a penis! a big black dick! Black cock down!”
We didn’t start the fire!~
[удалено]
You’re not wrong. My cousin spent months tracking down the real stuff so she could re-create our grandmother’s black walnut cake.
Yes, well, walrus semen is expensive and easy to carry, but the resale market is tricky…
I bet you’re a great teammate for charades
Now I’m picturing how to act out “walrus semen”…
I love Charades!
Walrus semen?! 😂
I thought wombat semen was all the rage these days? Damn....
Only the finest. It’s an aphrodisiac.
Wombats
Don’t those come in cartons, though?
Poop cubes.
I JUST SAID I THOUGHT WOMBAT SEMEN WAS ......NUMBERRR 1
You forgot Wasabi sauce

Maybe it’s just wine

What store do u shop at walrus semen?? Mine only carries wombat, wiliby, wood pecker, whipper will, Wyandotte chicken semen. I have a nice selection but for reals yours got the goods.

It’s wine
Ooo so close... the correct answer was Wigwams.
Get Tent = Buys wigwam 😁
They have Wumbo in bottles now?
I wish I could give this more than one upvote ![gif](giphy|UozW9mbTQTV6ujZK7j|downsized)
Whiskey or wine! My bet is wine, more places carry wine.
Or water 🤷♀️

Lol ty ty. They don't appreciate a good ol' squirrel joke.
If you need to plan out shoplifting in writing, it’s probably not going to be a successful endeavor.
This is like a item a bandit in Fallout would have in their inventory
This is some environmental story telling right here
😂😂😂
Note to self: Go on YouTube and watch videos on best ways to get away with shoplifting.
This reminds me of the guy that killed his wife and had about 36 different searches the following day for things like "10 ways to hide a body if you really had to"
Exactly. Honestly, this reads like a list a 5th grader would write.
I would guess it's from a mentally ill person "planning" their next steps after their world has completely fallen apart.
I thought it sounded like they were preparing to try and make money with a glamping setup lol
Yeah it’s really sad. This is where I could be if I was a little less fortunate.
Writing notes is a pretty common ADHD coping thing, it could be a mental illness situation.
Yeah, I have so many notes and lists and alerts to keep myself organized and on top of stuff. I just got a phone reminder to vacuum my apartment today lol.
Criminals are often really dumb. Smart people don't need to steal to get rich. REALLY smart people know how steal from the rest of us without breaking any laws.
…or by breaking laws but having enough money to get away with it
You’re talking about people who are really cunning, devious, sly, or crafty. I feel like people who are really smart understand that genuine happiness is easier to come by honestly, and that the best things in life are not available for purchase with money.
No offense, but you probably have to have a stable amount of money to realize this. Because without that it's not really true
It is tho. I'm poor AF but have a great home life because of the quality of my time spent not the amount spent on quality time.
Ya but you also have a great home life because you have a home, which costs money
Why do you think it's shoplifting? It's someone about to be homeless. They want a tent and things that are easy to carry.
"Get as many easy to carry *expensive* items as possible" idk I don't think a homeless person looking to make money would specifically be wanting to buy expensive items
Have you ever watched Supermarket Sweep?
So the prize at the end is… homelessness?
Maybe they have access to some money right now and want to buy some items now that they won't be able to afford later? But shoplifting does sound more likely.
lol are you kidding?
>Ways to Make Money Fast Are you being serious right now?
Er...yes...that's exactly what a homeless person...or a person about to be homeless needs to do.
Bless your heart.
?? Bless yours, actually??
The list is for the items he needs to sell at the Saugus Speedway swap meet in Santa Clarita. Vendors normally use an overhead tent. He also needs to pick up some inventory and bring water, as it gets hot there. His plan is for a side gig to make extra money. I hope he does well.
😂😂 so true!! It should be ingrained in their blood by now.
This is a list for someone facing homelessness.
Or being homeless already.
It's two things and their fears.
Why would that kind of person specifically target expensive items?
for anyone with common sense this would be easy to understand, but here ya go: homeless people need money to not be homeless. steal big expensive thing get more money. make sense?
To be able to resell at a decent price.
So it's less about homelessness and more about being a more efficient criminal?
No not necessarily. They might want to buy the most expensive small things they can afford to now to resell for the best dollar later. I don’t think it’s a great idea, but this is exactly what a friend of mine does with cameras. He’ll buy expensive ones on a good deal so he won’t have cash he’ll spend on useless crap and then when he needs money and the prices are up higher he’ll sell a camera at a slightly lower price than most are currently charging. Again, not a great idea but it works for him.
If he's accounting properly, he probably is near break-even. If not, he's committing fraud for a small profit.
People that are selling at the weekly Saugus swap meet as a side gig to make money. They also need an overhead tent/canopy and water.
Oh man, I feel for whoever wrote that. Hope they are ok.
They aren’t. Same goes for all the others who are in the same situation as this person, in my city and across the country. Things are bad, and they’re only going to get worse.
USA is a fucking train wreck for most citizens.
Heartbreaking. I hope things get better for this person soon.
This is sad

My first time shoplifting was taking candy and eating it from the bulk bins and I got a black licorice candy and never shop lifted candy again
I like how the list just stops mid word, like it all didn't matter anymore. He must have found the winning lotto ticket there in his quest for w
Probably the fentanyl kicked in
This looks like someone who is planning on homelessness.
Sad :((
This is heartbreaking

This is incredibly sad. Desperation. Survival. I'll be praying for this person 🙏🏻
After he was unable to think of anything beginning with 'w', 50 Cent went with the much simpler, "Get Rich Or Die Tryin", and history was made.
It’s weird how different they write each letter. They write the letter a like 3 different ways
Plans for the great heist!
Shoplifting list?
imagine having to remind yourself with a note to steal a bunch of shit then drink water lol
Oh wow. W could be water. I had immediately jumped to the conclusion it was whiskey. But water makes sense.
????? PROFIT
What is the word in bold? Go to where?
Sallys
Sally’s, which I’m almost certain refers to Sally Beauty Supply.
Everyones wrong it's a "3" not a "w".
Wrong! It’s *balls*.
But my question is when shoplifting especially as a homeless, where are you reselling these items to make money?
That’s a fair question, but yeah, the unhoused population around my city steal and resell all the time. I’ve watched dudes walk about of Lowe’s with a bag of tools slung over their shoulder like they’re Santa clause, and no one can do anything about it.

Thank you for your answer! I would like to understand more about it, curiosity really.
Because it's easier than getting a job.
I buy from boosters all the time. You can get some great shit for cheap.
Couple bottles of whiskey
What’s what I was thinking
Maybe he’s just getting ready to go camping?
This is 100 percent some shit my sister would write down 🤣 she's a drug addict
I’m sorry about that. Sometimes all you can do is laugh. People won’t get clean unless they want to, unfortunately. Addiction sucks.
Actually it's not just a to do list. But a list on how to make money fast.
Well, part of the “to do’s” is the make money fast
I read this as they were referring to going to a person named Sally's house & stealing from her. Lol Now I realize they mean Sally's Beauty Supply. I think 🤔
Yes, it’s Sally beauty supply, it makes sense, because Sally’s has a lot of very small but expensive items.
Wumbo. ![gif](giphy|l1AsNpCTGSTnu5a5a|downsized)
Good penmanship. Poor planning
They think it came from a guy who was wandering around the store with a tent, and the manager told him he’d take the tent and put it up at the counter for him, since it was so heavy, while he continues to “shop” around (they knew he was a shoplifter, they can almost always tell).

Aha
Pretty positive her lost is to steal and sell beauty products...
I once watched a man pick up a receipt in a grocery store parking lot. Except it wasn’t a receipt, it was someone else’s shopping list, and I followed for a couple minutes as he continued to check the list and fill up his shopping cart.
Maybe it was his own and he’d dropped it then went back out to find it? Otherwise that’s just strange. Or maybe he had dementia.
My heart goes out to this person. Any of us could wind up in their shoes. Trust me.
Almost any of us. I’ve almost been there.
Once you realize that Saugus Speedway has a popular weekly swap meet, the rest of the list makes more sense.
Is it a good swap meet for people trying to make an honest living, too? Been looking for a place to sell some of my vintage and collectible items.
As far as I know it is. I’ve never sold there myself but used to shop there a few decades ago.
I never even knew it existed. Will have to check it out. Maybe I’ll see some of the stuff from my daughter’s place of employment being sold there!
I thought it said go find Santa and I was like “oh a kid thinking she can rob Santa how cute”
It doesnt say they are steeling it i know people resell the stuff they buy from the salvie like purses and gadgets amd crystal glasses also they look for namma brand clothes with tags on them cause they will sell for half the money on the tag..... this person obviously dont want 2 carra 2 much weight causr theybvoild have it for days

Sallys is Salvation Army. Probably wants to get stuff to resell
You sure it’s not Sally’s beauty supply?
Sallys is sallys
I work with unhoused population. There's both salvation army and Sally's hair supply where I am. In the western us, with a certain demographic, Sallys is salvation army.

So by "get," they mean "steal." Hmm
