The topic of free video tapes has brought more interest that i thought it
|
||
would. When I decided to write this file, many people began to ask me "How do
|
||
you get free video tapes?" The answer to that question will be answered many a
|
||
time in this article because there is far more than one way to get free video
|
||
tapes.
|
||
|
||
Video tapes can currently can be rented for about one to five dollars a night.
|
||
Some places, even if you are a member of their club, will ask for a $50.00
|
||
deposit on tapes. An important thing to realize in getting free video tapes is
|
||
that most tapes retail for about $60.00. So if you successfully get five tapes,
|
||
you've made yourself $300.. Not bad for a day's work..
|
||
|
||
On to business. It's really quite easy to get free video tapes once you
|
||
understand how the movie rental business works. In the past couple of weeks,
|
||
I've managed to learn most everything there is to know about how movies are
|
||
rented. As they famous quote says "A little knowledge is a dangerous thing."
|
||
This quote will be proven true thoughout this article. I will first explain the
|
||
more primitive ways of getting video-tapes, then explain how the video tape
|
||
rental business works, and then explain ways to use this to your best advantage.
|
||
|
||
To start off, I will cover what I consider the more primitive ways of getting
|
||
free video tapes.
|
||
|
||
If you know how to illegally use credit cards (naughty naughty you), you can
|
||
call up places and simply card them. This will work especially well with porno
|
||
tapes, because tapes of this sort are not usually on display in the video
|
||
department of Lechmere. If you need numbers of places to call to get free video
|
||
tapes, go out and buy (steal, card, whatever) a copy of any video magazine,
|
||
where there is usually at least 200 advertisements for places to buy video
|
||
tapes. In these advertisements it is also possible to get free video equipment.
|
||
but that is carding and this is something different. There is another use for
|
||
CC's that I will discuss later.
|
||
|
||
The place where I work has all the video tapes behind a very accessable desk.
|
||
If you can find a kid who will bother the guy at the register enough while the
|
||
manager is in the back, you can usually just go back, take a few tapes, and
|
||
calmly walk out of the store.. Another nice method is if you have a brother
|
||
about 8 years old, who can keep his mouth shut.. The younger looking he is, the
|
||
better.. Just keep saying how annoying the kid is and ask the guy to show you
|
||
the video machines. Then your little baby brother can just crawl over and take
|
||
a few video tapes.. If the guy catches him, just hit your brother and say, "Oh
|
||
my goodness, he just can't keep his hands off anything!!". A guy had done this
|
||
once where I worked, but I nailed the sucker since he was stupid. The little
|
||
kid brought the tape to his older brother, and I said, "Ummm, sir...".. The guy
|
||
started walking out of the store, but I nailed his ass.. If you can, tell your
|
||
brother to hide the cassette in his shirt or something, but don't have him give
|
||
it to you..
|
||
|
||
Copying the tapes is just another way, only problem is that it actually costs
|
||
money to copy tapes. You have to buy blank tapes, etc. etc. and you need two
|
||
video recorders. A good place to do this is school since they usually have at
|
||
least 5 video recorders around.
|
||
|
||
One more primitive method is if you have a friend who works there.. Have him
|
||
act like he's signing them up for you but in reality, he won't. Be careful,
|
||
since if the manager notices the movie missing during your friend's shift, he
|
||
will often have to pay for it. A major rule of getting free video tapes is to
|
||
be careful not to get your friend busted.
|
||
|
||
Ok, onto the better methods..
|
||
|
||
First let me explain how the movie rental business works nowadays. Some
|
||
places will only allow you to rent movies if you rent or lease equipment from
|
||
them. Other places will allow you join the club for about fifty dollars, and
|
||
then have the ability to take cassettes out for about five dollars a night.
|
||
Either way way, you usually end up with a membership of some sort.. You then
|
||
have the ability to rent out video tapes for very cheap prices, and usually
|
||
without any deposit. Where I work, this membership will give you an account
|
||
number. In other places, all you really need is a name, and occasionally a
|
||
card. Where I work, the place used to give plastic fancy cards, but the place
|
||
got lazy so it doesn't do that any more.
|
||
|
||
What does this mean? This means that if you have a guy's name (the account
|
||
number is not really needed, but if you have the card, you'll have a much better
|
||
chance of success), then you can just about get as many free video tapes as you
|
||
want.
|
||
|
||
There are a few problems with the methods I will cover in a second.. Most of
|
||
the managers who work at video places have extremely good mem1 8< <1E>I<EFBFBD><49>898<39> Чv<D0A7>&G2<47><06>b<07><>Rv<>$<24><>"<22><06>b<07><>R&V<>FVBWV<><06>V<EFBFBD>B<EFBFBD>F<>W<EFBFBD>v<EFBFBD><76>&R&<26>RF<>6<17>$<24><><EFBFBD><04><>Ф<EFBFBD>Police agency for local coordination. In case
|
||
of k, I can't really say what will hn be- cause I don't know. Speculating, Ieve
|
||
the Army rponse will be much greater. Instead of MP's, combat troops will be
|
||
airlifted along with the Decon. and Emergency Ordnance Disposal troops. State
|
||
police will also flood the area and seal if off, with local units merely
|
||
handling roadblocks at the perimeters. Any non-authorized (non-government)
|
||
aircraft passing near the area will be either escorted out by the TAC, oif the place allows you to sign up in one
|
||
town's store and then have the ability to take tapes out in a store under the
|
||
same name in a different town. This is the most successful and best way I
|
||
think. Read the part later on about account numbers and the way they are set up
|
||
(at least for the store which i work at). Three, you are a new member there,
|
||
and he doesn't recognize you. (I personally don't like this one, use either of
|
||
the others since they usually remember new people).
|
||
|
||
I will now explain a few of the methods you can use to get and to use the
|
||
account numbers..
|
||
|
||
Getting and using false cards or names I will give a quick description of how
|
||
account numbers are set up and then describe ways to use them. How the account
|
||
numbers are set up - This really depends on the store. However, the place where
|
||
I work has a very easy system to figure out. all the cards from my store start
|
||
with XXYYYY. XX is a two digit store number, which is followed by 4 more
|
||
numbers. It is best to make sure you know the set up of the store where you
|
||
plan on doing this before you do it. A nice thing about this store number deal
|
||
is when you have a video rental place such as the place I work at, if you get
|
||
the card of a person in one town, if you bring it to another town, you can still
|
||
use the card, but the chances of being caught are so slim, I don't even consider
|
||
it. Other places will only need a name. Remember, you will often run into
|
||
people with photographic memory who memorize faces.. Whatever you do, don't
|
||
panic.
|
||
|
||
How to get the Cards : There are basically two types of cards to look for,
|
||
plastic and paper. However, as I said before, the place where I work is very
|
||
lazy, so they usually don't issue the plastic ones anymore. Now, if you know
|
||
someone that works there, you can have them steal a few of the paper things upon
|
||
which people account number and name is written on. Most people carry their
|
||
cards in the wallets (obviously) so if you come accross a membership card, don't
|
||
through it away. Use it quickly. You can also make your own cards.
|
||
|
||
There are other advantages of working at these places. It's very easy to
|
||
steal the late charges by simply not ringing the charge in, but you can do this
|
||
in any store, so just figure it out. I don't waste my time with this. It's
|
||
just another way to make money in case you're curious.
|
||
|
||
"Dropping the Tapes off in the morning" Many places have a little mail slot
|
||
where you can drop off your tapes if you work, and you can't drop off the tapes
|
||
due to your work hours, but don't want to pay late charges. I did a little
|
||
research on this and found that many places have a key you can get to drop the
|
||
tapes off when the store is closed. If you have a membership there, you can
|
||
usually buy a key like this for about 50 cents. I decided to check into this
|
||
furthur and found this when you dropped the video tapes in, they were dropped in
|
||
a large box. However, by the end of the night, especially on Monday nights, the
|
||
box was overflowing and it was possible to reach in and grab video tapes. If
|
||
you brought along one of the things you use to put logs on the fire, it would be
|
||
very easy to snag at least 10 tapes, and probably 20 on monday nights.
|
||
(20*60$=1200$). Remember also, if the place loses 1200$, they will probably
|
||
find out it and will probably stop the policy of allowing people to use the
|
||
keys. I was informed by someone that some of the more expensive video places
|
||
have video cameras watching the slot so if I were you, I would I would park my
|
||
car or bike in a place behind the store, and probably wear a mask of some sort.
|
||
|
||
Now for a quick summary...
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
The Video Tape Frauder's Commandments
|
||
------------------------------
|
||
Thou shalt not steal from places that are large and that may contain cameras
|
||
and other such equipment.. Stick to smaller places.
|
||
|
||
Thou shalt not use the card of a black man when thou are not of the black
|
||
race, and visa versa.
|
||
|
||
Thou shalt seek out stupid looking salesmen, not people who look like they
|
||
know all the people who hold accounts there, such as the phenomenon known as
|
||
managers. If the place starts to look for new people (ie. a help wanted sign),
|
||
wait until you see the new person, and then use the methods on him or her.
|
||
You've probably noticed that I've mentioned this about 4 times in the article.
|
||
This is because this is one of the most important things you should do, for a
|
||
foolproof day of video tape theft.
|
||
|
||
Thou shalt not panic, under any circumstances. If thou runs into a problem,
|
||
thou shalt say, "Shit, I can't believe you guys are so screwed up. I'm going to
|
||
go home and fix this whole thing up." and walk angrily out of the store.
|
||
|
||
Thou shalt use the account of a person in another town if possible. Thou
|
||
shalt be sure that the person does not use that store often, or thou shalt have
|
||
his royal ass burnt.
|
||
|
||
Thou shalt know the way the store is run before thou tries anything of the
|
||
illegal type.
|
||
|
||
Thou shalt not get a friend who works at a video place busted if he helps you
|
||
steal tapes when he is working there, by saying "He gave them to me!!" or
|
||
anything of the like.
|
||
|
||
If thou decides to try to get tapes from the video boxes late at night, thou
|
||
shalt wear a mask, and do it when it is as dark as possible. Thou shalt also be
|
||
on the look-out for cameras and cops who are patrolling the area.
|
||
|
||
Thou shalt not come running to me if thou gets busted for being very very
|
||
stupid.
