Chapter One: THEFT =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Theft is one of the most common forms of Anarchy, almost everyone duz it at one point in their lives...Even the Pope probably stole dime-store candies when he was a kid...Not everyone, however, will perform this maneuver to the same extent or with the same rate of success. The CARELESS ones get eliminated by the forces of good. Regardless of the motive, the objective is alwayz the same...To acquire at no cost and with minimal effort, items which are not originally or rightfully yours...There are two sub-classes of theft. These are single party theft and multiple party theft ( with accomplish ).....Regardless of the type of theft, there are three important elements to consider: Planning, Execution, and ESCAPE. The latter is probably the hardest part and must be planned carefully. A plan is alwayz required for a successful theft and should offer a high probability of success with as little risk as possible. Part A: Single party theft -------------------------- It is a good idea to make a surveillance sweep of the target area beforehand in order to decide on the best route to the desired item and a quick escape route. Alwayz have at least one alternative escape route in case of unexpected interven- tion by cops or onlookers which render your first one impassible. Once you have entered the target area, time is of the utmost importance...Get in and out as quickly as possible...Be discrete and do not attract attention. Alwayz make a quick scan for mirrors or cameras, try to stay out of direct sight of others. Sometimes, the easiest things to take are items which are kept right in front of the cash- ier..all it takes is for him to turn his back for one second and before you know it...FREE JUNK FOOD! Be alert, if there are other people present, do not go directly to the desired item. Browse a little, but take the first reasonably safe opportunity to make yer way over to it. Pocket the item quickly without looking at it or fumbling with it. DO NOT rush out of the area immediately if you don't have to, be casual and maybe even make a purchase. If you are confronted however, GET THE FUCK OUT Take the quickest one of your escape routes that you can, if you are perused then you must leave a difficult trail to follow. Dodge on and out of buildings or cars, backtrack, hop fences or do what ever you have to do to lose them. If possible, motorized transport is a good idea...( cover the license plate ) If not, then work with what you have, create obstacles as you go, such as throwing objects at your persuers or knocking things down in your wake. Sometimes, a good cop chase can really give you a good feeling...It sure satisfies the Rambo in me! If you are forced to deviate from your plan due to unexpected interfer- ence, follow your instincts...........but remember that a true Anarchist duzn't get caught at the scene! If it seems inevitable that you will be caught, stash the goods some- where safe until you can collect it. After you have bin caught then it's all over..unless, you lie like a bitch or your captor turns out to be a friend of the family. If you escape, then you have successfully completed your mission. Hopefully you will have the phoresight not to hit a store in your neighborhood or one that you go to regularly. Try not to hit the same place every time....that's dangerous! For an added challenge, you may want to try to swipe items stored behind the cashier's counter. There are wayz to do this such as the classic "Can I use yer phone? I'm stranded and need to call home" Heh, if they let you then your only problem is how to distract their attention. For this reason, it is often easier to execute a successful theft if you have an accomplish... Part B: Multiple party theft ---------------------------- In a multiple party theft, the basics are the same but certain adjustments must be made to yer plan. First you must decide who will do what....One person has to distract the attention of onlookers while the other performs the actual crime. You should have included a signal in your plan so that the you can discretely inform yer buddie that you have the goods and it's time to leave. A third person may have been posted as a look-out and if so, must also be kept aware of what's goin' on. One of the important tricks is to make it look like you don't know any of yer accomplishes...don't walk in together or leave together, unless you get burned. If you are confronted, then it is not alwayz necessary for all the members of yer team to flee if you have successfully convinced the teller you are not together. The guy with the goods has to split BUT while the Cashier is chasing him, or callin the cops, what better opportunity will the other two have to fill their pockets? If it becomes necessary for all parties to run, at least you now have an added benifit due to the fact that if you split up, it's harder to catch all of you. It is an unwritten rule that a guy who gets caught can't squeal on the others if there is a chance they can get away with it. You should have a specified rendezvous point and time if you split up so all the parties ( minus those who were bagged ) can meet and decide on appropriate actions to take to insure no further problems will arrise. After a few hits with the same people, you should have a kick-ass team and will be able tackle anything! One thing though, alwayz watch your back `cuz as Stalin said.."You can't trust anyone, not even yourself." Part C: Other forms of theft ---------------------------- Well, if yer not into stealin' from convenience stores, there are many available sources of "low-cost" items, such as cars, houses, purses & wallets and my personal favourite- ...school lockers! Cars are easy...just get a 1.5 ft long piece of flexible but sturdy wire (coathanger will do) and bend a loop at the end to fit over the lock button. Slide the wire through the gap between the window and the middle section of the car (not the top of the window)... Now loop the end around the lock button and pull. For newer cars that do not have the lockbutton but have the switch by the lever on the inside door pannel, you need more equipment. You will need a flashlight, a mirror and a coathanger. Before you begin, look through the opposite window at the door yer gonna open and memorize where evrything is positionned. Now, tape the mirror to the outside of that window with the reflective surface facing into the car. If you have a friend helping you, you don't need the mirror as yer friend can stand on the opposite side of the car and see through that window where you have to move Now slip the coathanger in as above and use the window to bend it as you insert it so it touches the inside of the door....using the mirror or your friend to guide yer movements, unlock the door and there you go! If you are in a hurry or don't need to worry about noise or anything, just throw a brick through the window. Remember to search the dashboard, glove compartment and back window ledge. If you have a lock pick set and can use it, go for the trunk to! I'll deal with locks and picks in a separate issue dealing specifically with the tools and their usage. Motorcycles are a sinch to swipe. All you need are a pair of vice-grips, a screwdriver and a dime. Jam the screwdriver into the ignition, clamp the vice-grips to the shaft of the screwdriver and twist..... -=SNAP!=- Now just press the start button and away you go! When you've had yer phun and ya wanna ditch the bike, drop the dime into the ignition keyhole and give it a quarter turn to turn off the engine. Now, the most risky but often most profitable source is a house. Before you even approach the house, fone to make sure they're not in. If you don't have their number or they are a bunch of rug-pilots who don't have a fone, ring the door- bell.....once you have established the fact that they are not home, you can decide on your method of entry. To break into a house, Your two sources of entry are doors and windows. Before I start describing methods to bypass locks and bolts, remember that if you think there is a security system on the house FORGET IT and move on...why risk it? Anywayz, there are many types of door locks and for most you will need a lock pick set which will be dealt with in vol. II. If you have a lot of time and are in a deserted area, you can use various power tools to destroy the door itself. Windows are the harder to reach but more simply bypassed entry routes. There is either a deadbolt or a simple twist/pull lock for both, you just blow a hole in the window just above the lock (with a bee-bee gun) or bar and use wire or a thin screwdriver to knock the bar out or release the lock. Apartment buildings are also a good target...just go into the front doors and press every intercom button on the pannel. Some deluded idiot will let you in. If not, wait `till a resident comes in and pretend to be fumbling for the door key..he will of course, open the door for you...Heh Once you get in, make sure no one is home....then grab a pillow case or a garbage bag and take evrything that is even remotely valuable! Once you have done that, cut the fone line and GET THE PHUCK OUT !!! Mission Accomplished.... NOTE: ----- HITTING HOUSES IN YOUR OWN NEIGHBORHOOD MAY RESULT IN APREHENSION AND CAN COMPLICATE PREGNANCY.... LOCKERS!!!! YEAH!! The easiest way to get money or goods for nothing. One way is to write down the serial # and the combination of the lock your using this year and then next year, find it and voila! In the mean time, you have to find alternate methods to keep you busy for a whole year, but look...there are hundreds of lockers! With little peckers you can stand behind them and simply watch them enter the combination. If you want to hit a locker belonging to an older student, you have to be covert about it. You might as well start close to home by easily breaking into the lockers on either side of yours. This method is simple but requires time and you will need a hex-driver. Look at the inside pannel of yer locker that forms the wall separating it from the ajacent one. If the heads of the bolts are on your side, you will have no problems. Just unscrew the bolts and remove the pannel....hmmm...now why didn't you tink of that before? Well, now you know. Most of the schools supply spin combo-locks that are hard to pick so if all else fails, use those heavy duty metal shears to cut through the shank. Once yer in, you are on yer own...... Have phun! The last type of theft I will discuss is the art of picking pockets. This method is becomming more and more difficult with the advent of self-defense lessons...yes!...even little Grandma Johnson could be a black belt. Basically all you have to do is either run by the victim and snatch it (copyIIpc is optional) heh, or wait `til they put it down somewhere where you can whisk it away. Once you have the purse or wallet, there are many things you can do... Money! I'm sure you can all find a use for that....Credit Cards! Now we're talkin! You can go crazy ordering and carding everything you desire (not to yer house)....You may find a spare key in there to, if so, look at the I.D. in the wallet to find out their address and away you go! Geez, what a week for the poor sucker eh! First his wallet now his house and car!!! Heh, always be thor- ough..... NOTE: ALWAYS LEAVE THE SCENE AS YOU FOUND IT SO THE VICTIM WILL TAKE LONGER TO NOTICE A CRIME HAS BEEN COMMITTED.
