Boosting is stealing from retail stores and selling the items on the black market for pennies on the dollar. Many addicts steal from grocery stores and retail stores. Then they sell the items to smaller stores, vendors, or pawn shops who are willing to buy the products at a discount. Any item that has resale value in another store is worth money to boosters. Depending on the items stolen, addicts will also sell stolen goods online. Many drug dealers will trade drugs for stolen goods.
This video is the most commonly boosted items.

I heard a story of a guy who bought a stolen tv for cheap, and when he plugged it in, it would only display the KFC menu. LOL
LOL
2023 update: Dozen Eggs
You ain’t lying😂😭
Lmao yeah these days it’s literally anything that isn’t locked up
After 22+ years of heroin addiction, I'm 71+ months sober now and I'm loving it...! Thanks, keep up your awesomeness and go enjoy some nature today...
bro NICE im happy for u
@@polym3r thanks...! Sober life's great... Hope you have the greatest of days...!
How you did that ? My frnd is also addicted to it. It hurta to see him like that. Its hard for us
@@happysharma8118 methadone clinic, but it has to start from within... if he doesn't want to quit, he never will...
I seen a crack head in the supermarket getting lobsters and a huge slab of haddock.... knew this guy wasn’t going to pay for it! He took the items from the fish monger, goes behind the bread and stuffed it into one of those reusable shopping bags and walked right out the door. I just laughed and shook my head.
True story happening all across the world. Its funny but sad. The ironic part of those reusable shopping bags is they give criminals a reason to bring bags into the store now
My daughter’s father was an addict and he stole all of my baby shower gifts a few weeks before I was due to sell for drugs smh that was one of the worst things he could do to me
He was going through bad sickenss n it’s a dieseaze. Feel more sorry for him but I do feel sorry for u I get it
I understand what you’re saying. Loved ones of addicts hurt and suffer too.
@@Dumperr414 nah if expecting a child isn't enough to wake someone up and/or make them care about somebody other than themselves, they're pieces of shit. idc how "sick" they are.
@@voteZDLR Wrong judgement of a true disease that's insanely difficult. You'd understand how hard it is when you're an addict. He probably felt the same way too.
@@shmockette7158 I'm a heroin addict in recovery for over 12 years now. Suboxone saved my life. I know a thing or two about addiction, and I also know the difference between decent people and pieces of shit.
1:49 LMFAOOO hey man what you need!? i got it all! you want sea food, surf and turf, meatloaf I GOT YOU!
When I worked at best buy, I got to witness one of the most insane theft attempts ever. Unsure if they were addicts or not, but either way if they succeeded, they would have had hundreds of thousands of dollars of payout. So I was working, stocking hard drives and PC accessories and these three guys with hoodies come in, their hoods up. One of them beelines for the customer service employee in that area and starts distracting them away from the MacBook lockup cage towards the gaming PCs on the other side of the area, facing away. The two other guys go and examine the cage, seeing if they can open it. After a few minutes, they say "fuck it" and just _lift the whole cage up and make a break for the fire exit at the rear with double doors._ They try to go out, don't realize that there's a bar running between the doors, the fire alarm blaring. This was the point at which I took notice too. They give up and drop it, the third guy quickly runs out with them, clambering over the cage and into a white beater of a truck with a fourth getaway driver and peel out of there. Still rhe craziest thing I've ever seen at any place I've worked.
There was well over $250k worth of MacBooks in that cage.
Real gangsta will straight rob the drug dealer...
Been there short term fix
@@sampson1377 not to mention now you probably have dangerous people looking for ya
Then you won’t have a solid connects you rob other dealers who you’ve never dealt with and be loyal to the original plug
Helpful thx
I use to print out my own receipts with thermal paper...If you take a receipt from a store and spray it with ammonia it removes the lettering giving you a blank piece of receipt paper....Then you can get metal stamps with letters and heat them up and stamp the paper to create your own receipts...I would work meticulously to make fake receipts for stuff i'd steal from the store and return for cash. Actually made a LOOOOT of money doing this as they can't prove you stole the merchandise. This was my amphetamine days....One thing amphetamines do is make you think a lot of creative shit to steal other shit.
Please elaborate more 😂
@@pootz8082 the receipts you get from stores, well they don’t use ink for the text on it. Instead they use a series if heated elements. You see, tbe paper is thermal paper. Try it! Take any receipt and put a lighted to it you will see it go instantly black. You can also erase all of the text from a receipt by spraying the receipt with ammonia. It’ll get rid of the letters and turn the whole thing white so u can have a blank receipt. Well from there it’s only a matter of putting it own text into it. You do that by buying a series of letter stamps. Michaels craft store sells lettering stamps that has the ABCs and 123s so you can replicate any receipt and create fake ones. I did that
There is no way to repay all of your victims for your heinous crime, you will face god on judgement day, He will repay!
@@johnstagg7901 I love u too. It’s cool cause I repented and god forgives remember?
Heroin - steal your wallet and admit it
Coke - steal your wallet and try help you find it
Weed - gives you wallet
damn damn damn that hit hard lewis thats a factttttttttttttttttttt
Drunk or benzos - steals your wallet then brings it back to you the next morning
My neighbours are always breaking. My house tries to steal us those dirty what you were called people.
Unfortunately I remember this all to well. Tough fir a parent
yea I know Sorry It was awful for the whole family and all families or addicts
you are so right wish we didn't but we did and glad its over hopefully for good but i know its tough and one day at a time for everyone in addiction
Them eyebrows should have a show of there own
You've just given me a great idea I'm going to be going through my house cleaning out finding various things where I can have a big bag of goodies that looks like fresh wonderful good stuff that I'm going to throw into the front yard of a drug addict who stole my cell phone. I will get pill bottles and put gravel in them and seal them up tight in their original plastic around the top and heat shrink it with a hair dryer so he thinks he's got a full bottle of pills to sell to someone who will hate his guts when they open it and find it's rocks. And a bottle of cologne filled up with Pinesol the floor cleaner so it looks like cologne it'll be sealed in the original box wrap some plastic around it and use clear cellophane tape so it looks brand new so whoever he sells it to and they realize it's not cologne and it's actually floor cleaner. I did that to my sister as a kid and she ruined her self by spraying that on last getting ready for a big date had to reshower and redo all her makeup because of I put cologne swap with floor cleaner. Razor blades you know how you put the Braves or snap it back into the little plastic rectangle after you're done with it all the used ones are in there put them all back in the original package and use some glue and glue it shut they'll think it's a whole package of brand new razor blades but if they try to use any of them they'll be like oh my God it's ripping up my face. This drug addict is going to have the most wide arrange assortment of booty trapped items. I'll even headphones that are broken that don't work anymore. And those phone recharger USB adapters you plug in the wall that are dead put some of those in there and he'll think he's got all this brand new stuff and every bit of it will be it broken or booby trapped. And so whoever he sells is to is going to come back at him like a really bad virus. I can even routinely leave a spent car battery that will no longer take a charge and clean it up or it looks brand new and place it by his mailbox so he'll think he's got something great and then have to figure out a way to get rid of it. Clean up the battery terminals with the terminal cleaner change the expiration date on the sticker to make it look like it's fresh and brand new constantly leave booby trapped items in his yard. Thanks for the tip now I know what to throw out the window of my car into his yard

You didn't knowcan did research!??🤣🤣🤣🤣😎🥓🥓🥓🥓u funny
Other addicts would probably laugh at me if I told them this, so I don't know if shop owners would be able to take any conclusions from my comment, _but;_ if I go in a store and the owner or the security guard is following me around, all up my a7se, well obviously I'm not going to be stupid enough to steal. Probably I would have come in without even a thought of stealing in the _first_ place... but (notwithstanding the fact that I probably 100% 'look the part'), I'm gonna figure, "Huh!! 😤 So _that's_ the way it's gonna be... 'Give a dog a bad name!' etc" and from then on, whenever I'm in that place I'm gonna be on a mission to steal if an opportunity presents itself and I don't feel like I'm being scrutinized in that moment. _On the other hand,_ if I go in some corner shop, 'Mom & Pop' - type outfit, well, to tell the truth, generally I never much liked stealing from those places anyway, but you know how it is - 'Needs must', etc. etc. (Also, sometimes the people who own these places are the biggest p7¡cks of the _lot!_ ) However if the owner or assistant makes a point of saying hello, asks me if I need any help - in a genuine way, not in that snotty "I've got your number, pal" kind of way, or is just generally making pleasantries, it straightaway kind of "puts me off guard"; I'm no longer able to 'stroke' anything - I always end up buying something small, like a packet of cheap biscuits (US - cookies), or I make like I'm looking for something it would be reasonable to ask for but they're unlikely to have. In part, if I've just been making all nice with someone and then I get caught out stealing from them, well, for me that would be mega - embarassing, whereas if it's some big corporate supermarket, it wouldn't cost me a thought, other than for the legal aspects. Even apart from that though, while it was true that when I was using my moral standards had slipped sufficiently that I would 'rob' (steal) from a place which represents the owner's literal means of making a living, to do so when they are actively being _nice_ to me, even if it's only on a surface level, well for me, that would be just _too_ greasy; I would have to be _desperate!_
So there - it's not just 'nice to be _nice!'_ as they say in my part of the world - it's also good business! It's not even just about the 'loss prevention'; I will actually make such a business 'offside' in my mind for stealing, and make them my 'go - to' for when I'm actually looking to _buy things!_
I dont care what measures a store takes to prevent theft if that addict has a will then Will find away to get the shit there are videos on youtube people going into a pharmacy with trash bags and filling them up with shit and leaveing in the bike they brought with them in a store......if a junkie took the same amount of time turning there life around how they come up with scams they would be better off
Your dead right Zach. Yea. There will always be a way. But in that mindset and moment we can’t think about anything but that next hit
@@Soberdogs no i agree with you bc im not saint either i have had my fair share of issues and i also know rehab will never work for someone unless they them selfs are ready to change bc if they try and do it for a significant other family ect it woint work they them selfs have to be ready
