Anti-shoplifting strips
I just pulled one on somebody – I slipped some of those anti – shoplifting strips into the lining of the victim’s favorite jacket. I was set to pull another one, but didn’t get the chance – to cut out a silhouette of a gun from metal and hide it in a piece of carry-on luggage.
