This is why you pay with cash at multiple different hardware stores, or - and this is the most effective - simply make sure you're prepared from the start, acquiring each of these as you need them normally and regularly restocking the consumables, meaning you're always ready to hide a body.

Two rules:

1: two is one, one is none.

B- always have a spare.

Anything you consider absolutely essential for something, you should have 3 on hand.

Like chikdren and spouses!

[–] nilloc@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 1 month ago

Chikdren? Sounds delicious.

[–] echodot@feddit.uk 3 points 1 month ago

I like to mix and match my lists as well.

I feel like paying with cash is getting suspicious these days. I have gone to several cities in the past few years where they have said cash is no longer accepted. I hated it, but sadly, I think that's going to be everywhere eventually.

[–] SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 9 points 1 month ago (2 children)

Stealing from unlocked sheds it is, then

[–] spankmonkey@lemmy.world 14 points 1 month ago

Garage sales and estate sales. With proper planning the estate sales will be self sustaining.

[–] Death_Equity@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

You can walk onto any large construction site with the right clothes and just pick up anything left unattended.

[–] The_v@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago

I carry all of them in my truck at all times.

Then there is my machete and a bunch of knives.

Aka work tools.

[–] intensely_human@lemm.ee 0 points 1 month ago

When I worked at Lowe’s, I can say it definitely wasn’t suspicious at all when dudes bought chest freezers with crisp $100 bills.

[–] lonlazarus@lemmy.sdf.org 24 points 1 month ago (1 children)

At Harbor Freight, “Want some zip ties with that?”

[–] teamevil@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

Yeah but every time you get the feet zip tied the wrist one breaks like it's a vaudeville act. Harbor Freight is for amateurs, or folks smart with their money.

[–] Lucidlethargy@sh.itjust.works 16 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Wrong. You can also do that before a snow storm.

[–] AnUnusualRelic@lemmy.world 4 points 1 month ago

It's kind of a honorary cold hurricane.

[–] Frog@lemmy.ca 10 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Walter White says to buy things at different places. Seems less suspicious.

[–] paysrenttobirds@sh.itjust.works 6 points 1 month ago (2 children)

I feel like with so many cameras they will still find you and it will be more suspicious, but I guess it depends if they can tie you to the victim in some other way.

[–] Kolanaki@yiffit.net 8 points 1 month ago (2 children)

Shop at local mom & pop stores that have no security cameras. No cameras and you're supporting the local economy instead of big corpo interests.

[–] spankmonkey@lemmy.world 6 points 1 month ago

Or just plan ahead a little and get the shovel and tarp from garage sales. Whoe doesn't have some duct tape and rope lying around?

Bunch of amateurs.

[–] Death_Equity@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

The small stores I go to have more cameras, no blindspots.

[–] Letstakealook@lemm.ee 5 points 1 month ago (2 children)

That is why you travel by foot/public transit from a good distance away, covered up, and without a cell. Arrive at the back of the lot where the day workers congregate and make the offer for more cash than what the purchase costs to an individual to go inside and purchase some items. Ideally, you'll want to spread these purchases across multiple jurisdictions, days (or more), wearing different coverings, and mixing in nondescript items with the purchases. If the first individual refuses, leave and make an attempt elsewhere, don't make this memorable.

[–] echodot@feddit.uk 3 points 1 month ago

You know, this seems like a lot of work, I think I'll just confess

[–] paysrenttobirds@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 month ago

I like and fear your answer, but having recently watched a ridiculous number of police homicide interrogations, it seems to me that if you are smart enough to get away with murder you are probably smart enough to avoid it in the first place. A lot of murders are solved with cameras and phone records. Even many sociopaths who you might expect to do better.

[–] Alexstarfire@lemmy.world 10 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Thanks to self-checkout, no one ever questions anything. Thank God.

[–] prettybunnys@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 month ago

My home depot now has self checkout in an open area with a few “cashiers” standing by to “assist”.

It’s like you’re checking out on a game show.

[–] Sparky@lemmy.blahaj.zone 8 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Idk where yall live, but literally noone would question me for buying these things. I've bought bulk amounts of caustic soda (~3kg) and the cashier didn't even ask me why I needed so much.

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 4 points 1 month ago (1 children)

You are definitely on a list somewhere.

[–] Sparky@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 1 month ago

Ye om on a watch list, so I'll go and collect my watch tomorrow :)

[–] dumbass@leminal.space 8 points 1 month ago

No ones ever questioned me about it.

[–] bi_tux@lemmy.world 6 points 1 month ago (4 children)

I get it, but what is the rope for?

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 7 points 1 month ago

You'll find out.

[–] edgemaster72@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago

Entertainment

[–] Death_Equity@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago

Plan B if the storm destroys your home.

[–] ikidd@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago
[–] moosetwin@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 1 month ago (1 children)

It's revealing that I immediately assumed this was a suicide joke instead of a murder joke

[–] spankmonkey@lemmy.world 12 points 1 month ago (3 children)

It would take quite a complex plan to roll up in the tarp, then tape that and bury yourself.

[–] echodot@feddit.uk 3 points 1 month ago

The Russians can probably manage it they're an ingenious people apparently

[–] Repelle@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago

Yes, but that’s the cost of being considerate

[–] intensely_human@lemm.ee 2 points 1 month ago

It all starts with spinning yourself up to about 2500 rpm

[–] Trilobite@lemm.ee 3 points 1 month ago

You have to get a few bags of lime with the order

[–] MedicPigBabySaver@lemmy.world 0 points 1 month ago

Yeah, but, fuck Florida.
