  We study the phenomenology of a light stop NLSP in the presence of large
mixing with either the first or the second generation. R-symmetric models
provide a prime setting for this scenario, but our discussion also applies to
the MSSM when a significant amount of mixing can be accommodated. In our
framework the dominant stop decay is through the flavor violating mode into a
light jet and the LSP in an extended region of parameter space. There are
currently no limits from ATLAS and CMS in this region. We emulate shape-based
hadronic SUSY searches for this topology, and find that they have potential
sensitivity. If the extension of these analyses to this region is robust, we
find that these searches can set strong exclusion limits on light stops. If
not, then the flavor violating decay mode is challenging and may represent a
blind spot in stop searches even at 13 TeV. Thus, an experimental investigation
of this scenario is well motivated.
