Broken Trust, Broken Policies- Internal Theft

February 28, 2014 by Leave a Comment
When an employee has their personal possessions taken, it is more than just that possession that is taken. An employee takes the losses personally. They feel victimized and they feel let down and betrayed. Internal theft is not just about stealing the company’s assets, but also any theft occurring inside your place of business.
An employee comes to work with an overall assumption that when they leave their belongings (coats, purses, cell phones) in a designated employee area, their belongings are protected and safe.
When something is stolen, they no longer feel that they are safe and that their employers are to blame for not maintaining that safety. The employees then take it upon themselves to protect their things.
This leads to broken trust and broken policies. Since the employee no longer trusts you, they will begin to stash their bags behind the POS where they can keep an eye on it, or take their cell phone on the floor.
Now you are faced with the internal theft, broken policies, and you are a short leap away from other employees seeing what is going on and they too will begin to make up their own rules of governance.
When you start to lose these controls, you open your doors even wider to other losses. You lose any camaraderie or employee good will as everyone is now deemed a suspect. You loose your control over the situation as it is now viewed as every man for himself, and you open yourself up to further theft.
If you cannot resolve the current employee theft investigation, it could be viewed as a lack of overall security, making you merchandise and cash free game.

Shoplifting Programs And Info.

February 27, 2014 by Leave a Comment

theft (12)For any retail store, shoplifting is a crime they have to protect themselves from and find solutions to prevent possible incidents from happening in their stores.  Shoplifting has been rising in some cities and the laws that some communities want change concerning shoplifting prevention are not there yet. What are some precautions that as a retail store owner or manager you need to know to prevent shoplifting incidents? Please follow the links below to find more about this topic.

Shoplifting spike prompts new program

Crime is falling in most categories in Carthage, but one category is spiking, and that’s got Carthage law officers’ attention.

Crime is falling in most categories in Carthage, but one category is spiking, and that’s got Carthage law officers’ attention.

A big increase in the number of shoplifting cases in Carthage over the past two years prompted the Carthage Police Department to get creative and use some new tools to catch the thieves and alert business owners to who might be coming into their businesses with sticky fingers.

Carthage Police Chief Greg Dagnan said the numbers told the story.

The department investigated 44 cases of shoplifting in 2011, 99 in 2012 and 148 in 2013.

“It’s a huge climb and of course while I can’t list everywhere where shoplifting occurs, the most, if you look statistically, it’s the bigger retailers,” Dagnan said. “The Walmart, the Dollar General, the Price Cutter, the bigger retail places in town are typically where these are occurring.”

6 Simple, Low-Tech Ways to Reduce Shoplifting

It’s our instinct to turn to technology first, when solving a problem. However, when it comes to preventing theft in your store, low-tech solutions can be very effective. These low-cost and often free ideas can sometimes even require less employee training and resources.

Here are 6 low-tech ways to prevent theft in your store:

1. Put out the welcome mat. Shoplifters want to be anonymous and make as little contact with store employees as possible. One of the most effective ways to deter shoplifters is to greet every customer that walks into the store. “Don’t just shout “Good morning” over your shoulder, but make eye contact and greet customers like you are happy to see them,” says Chris McGoey, security expert and founder of Crime Doctor, a security firm. “Not only is it good customer service, a simple greeting can make potential shoplifters change their mind about stealing from your store because they know you can identify them.”

Common shoplifting techniques

Hiding the Merchandise

Favorite Shoplifter Devices

A large open bag is a common shoplifter tool. It is placed at the thief’s feet, and objects are casually dropped into it. Be on the lookout for the “bad bag” — a paper bag that is dirty and wrinkled. Also keep an eye out for shopping bags that are not from local stores. Preventing this is why many stores staple bags shut. Other stores require customers to leave their bags by the front door when they come in.

Women sometimes use purses to hide stolen items. There is little you can do to stop women from carrying purses and handbags. The best prevention in these cases is to watch the customers very carefully.

The baby carriage or stroller is a great tool for shoplifters. There are always blankets, toys, and other things in strollers (including the baby) that merchandise can be hidden under. Some thieves have even built false bottoms in baby carriages.

A newspaper can be used to hide small objects.

Umbrellas with handles are handy for shoplifters trying to steal small items. A common tactic is to keep a closed (but not snapped) umbrella hanging on one’s elbow or leaning against a counter, and then to drop items into it.

Nordstrom’s is Leading The Way- Wardrobing Tags

February 27, 2014 by Leave a Comment
A recent news story told the tale of how Nordstrom’s, one of the larger high end retail chains, made a very public statement about the changes they are making to their notoriously lenient return policy. These changes are specifically designed to discourage the all to common practice of wardrobing retail purchases.
Nordstrom’s announced that in an effort to combat wardrobing, they would be adding large black tags to their lines of security measures. These wardrobing tags are affixed to the front of a particular garment. Attached to this tag is a paper card of instructions on how to remove the tag. The instructions also state that without the tag still on, the garment cannot be returned.
The point that Nordstrom’s is trying to make is to stop the likelihood of a customer wearing the product only one time before returning it.
By having a wardrobing tags on the front of an outfit, the user will be less inclined to wear that particular item out in public. If they can’t wear it, they (in turn) will be less likely to buy the item in the first place.
It is just a matter of time before the customers who previously abused their liberal return policy are caught having to keep an item because they tore the wardrobing tags off and are now declined the refund.

Sell at a Discount- Bottle Security

February 26, 2014 by Leave a Comment
If you have low bottle security, your store might be more prone to commercially driven theft. That is theft that has a profit at the end. As you know, alcohol is expensive. Bottles can fetch a high price just in a liquor store, and an even bigger price when sold at a bar or nightclub setting. Imagine the profit margin when you have zero overhead because you are selling stolen goods.
Stolen merchandise is sold in a variety of venues. Prestigious bottles can be sold online. Some businesses operate by reselling stolen goods, funneling this dirty money elsewhere. Bottles can even be sold from person to person.
In all situations, the merchandise was stolen from shops with limited bottle security.
To avoid this, bottle locks can act as a strong deterrent against these commercially driven thefts. EASy Bottle (by Alpha Security) locks not only deter the theft initially, but they also reduce the likelihood of a resale. It is much harder to sell an item on the street if the buyer cannot open the bottle.
It is also harder to fetch a good price on items that are blatantly stolen. The art of resale often exists when there is a plausible explanation as to why someone would want to sell an item at less than retail value, or in such high case quantities.
A resale bottle with the bottle locks still on is a good indicator that the merchandise is not legitimate.

Keep Your Resolution- Loss Prevention Seminars

February 26, 2014 by
One of the reasons why New Year’s resolutions commonly fail within the first three weeks is because these goals are so vague that it is nearly impossible to quantify or track any potential progress that has been made. This makes them simply unattainable because there is no way to track your progress. When you make a goal to attend Loss Prevention Seminars, you are setting a quantifiable goal.
By determining the who, what, when, where and why, you are no providing specific data that can be validated – a way to measure you and your goal’s success. Which class will you take? When and where is it being held? Who in your business will attend? What should you expect to see as a result?
Now you have a specific date with specific attendees in mind. You are now able to achieve your goal because you kept it simple, measurable and therefore attainable. You can also measure your success by measuring the impact that the Loss Prevention Workshop has on your business and your store.
You can compare year-to-year shrink results to see if there is a decrease. You can also take the knowledge that was gained from the Loss Prevention Training and implement a set number of those ideas. If you incorporate those ideas and tactics, your overall losses should diminish.

Instructions Included- Alpha Shark Tag

February 26, 2014 by Leave a Comment
Using the Alpha Shark Tag is an effective way to prevent “wardrobing” of your clothes. That means that customers have a decreased ability to purchase an item or entire outfit with the intention of wearing once and then returning the items. This is not designed to prevent shoplifting. This is designed specifically with wardrobing in mind.
This small, red plastic tag is tamper evident and eliminates the guesswork an employee has to do at the point of return. If the Alpha Shark Tag is still on and is 100% intact, the return is good. 
The issue is in how to educate your customers so they know what they can and cannot do. The customers won’t have any idea what the tag is designed for. If they do not have any education, you can create customer issues. Legitimate customers may automatically take the tag off when they get home, not knowing that it needs to stay on. If they later change their mind and return the item, you wouldn’t want a declined return from a customer who honestly had not worn the item.
The easiest solution is to attach a hangtag to the pin of the Alpha Shark tag. The tag should have a copy of the store’s return policy on one side, and the removal instructions on the back. Alpha Security provides an example of such a tag to be used to avoid possible confusion and customer complaints.
Visit the Loss Prevention Store for Alpha 2Alarm, Alpha 3Alarm, Alpha Fashion2, Alpha Jewel Lok, Alpha Nano Gate,  Alpha Shark Tag, Alpha Spider Wrap and other retail anti-theft devices from Alpha Security to use in conjunction with your Electronic Article Surveillance or EAS system that can help you prevent shoplifting in your business.

Why Do Kids Shoplift From Retail Stores? (And how to cut down on loss)

February 25, 2014 by Leave a Comment

theft (10)Adolescence is a time of emotional growth and development. During this stage, a young person’s life is largely dominated by peerage and the pressures of social activities. Some teens give in to peer pressure out of a sense of wanting to belong to a group. Better judgment and common sense are placed behind, especially when a teen decides to shoplift.
Malls are one of the most popular spots for teen hang outs. Most of these places sell clothes and merchandise that is fashionable. These items from teen perspective promote the thoughts of financial status and popularity. So this is one huge factor as to why kids shoplift from retail stores.

While some kids may have jobs after school, there are others who may not. Even though kids who work are not exempt from shoplifting, the ones who have no money at all and hang around malls are most-likely to shoplift from retail stores. Some might even try to solicit a friend who works at a retail store for help in trying to shoplift an item.

Some kids maybe casual or amateur shoplifters. There are many who fall into this category versus professional shoplifters who steal stylish clothing or jewelry. These pros may seek to sell the hot item(s) over the internet for money.

Concerned retailers who lose a lot of money from kids shoplifting can do the following things to deter theft. Create policies that limit the number of kids in the store at one time and/or staff appropriately at times large numbers of kids come in, such as after school.  Having and extra person out engaging with the visitors can be a big deterrent.

Retailers can also try to address kids shoplifting by having more closed-circuit cameras installed or even hiring more security to discourage teen thefts. While cameras may not deter the professional shoplifter, it may make the teens think twice.  If teens like hanging around retail stores, encourage security to tell them not to solicit the premises. Sometimes when teens enter the premises, they might carry book bags. Retailers might have all book bags checked at the check-out desk in order to avoid having small items stolen.

These are just some of the ways a retailer can reduce the casual theft by youngsters who may be tempted.

Dictate The Level Of Service- Retail Theft Prevention

February 24, 2014 by Leave a Comment
Customers are more likely to buy impulse items when they can touch and take them at their leisure. When these same items are placed in a locked area, their sales decrease. This is just one example of the line between effective anti shoplifting and effective customer service.
In smaller convenience areas such as pharmacy, food and beauty, your retail theft prevention must not impact or hinder the flow of customers. There is a greater need by the customer to get in and get out with a minimal wait at the point of sale.
This is an ideal situation to use checkpoint systems to stop shoplifting. It is better to incorporate soft labels that are quickly deactivated during the checkout process and do not require any additional steps/ time involved.
Depending on your retail market, studies have shown that customers who are buying electronics and other such accessories are more willing to wait at the point of sale for anti shoplifting components to be removed.
The line between customer service and retail theft prevention can be found. It is simply a matter of understanding which scenarios require different levels of customer service, and which ones can withstand an increase in ways to stop shoplifting.

Not Just Anyone- Background Check Experts

February 24, 2014 by Leave a Comment
It used to be pretty simple. All you had to do was go to any number of websites for your background checks. Most of these websites were not really background check experts, as they claimed to be. It was slowly discovered that there were issues with the accuracy of the credit report. As more job seekers were denied employment due to these inaccuracies, it eventually turned into a legal issue.
You see, employers were relying on bad information to make decisions. Job seekers had little recourse, as these unsanctioned websites were unwilling to correct the issues or to work to resolve them between the employer and job seeker.
The end result is that legislation was passed to protect both parties. By limiting the companies who could give a report to an employer, quality standards were put into place. Only legitimate background check experts could conduct background checks. The employers are now guaranteed to have more accurate information. Job seekers are given an opportunity to correct any incorrect information found on a report and then have that information passed back to the employer.
Job seekers must also give permission to have this pre employment screening conducted. This serves a two-fold purpose: job seekers must be aware of the checks to be conducted, and therefore have an opportunity to be honest and forthcoming about any potential information that will be discovered.
Now that only certified Credit Reporting Agencies can conduct background checks, it is easier to trust the information that is presented in order to make sound hiring decisions.

Secure the Web Orders- Clothing Security Tags

February 24, 2014 by Leave a Comment
One of the current shopping trends is to allow customers to place their orders on line, and then pick up the merchandise in the store. Some of these pick ups are merchandise that comes from the supply chain, while others come from existing store inventory. Either way, security tags on clothes need to be taken into consideration.
Here is where a decision needs to be made regarding the clothing security tags.
Do you remove the clothing security tags immediately, in an effort to expedite the customers wait (a big part of why they shopped on line to begin with)? If so, you run the risk of shoplifting or employee theft of readily accessible items that have the clothing security already removed.
Or, you can leave the Checkpoint tags on, protecting your merchandise from this easy access, and run the risk of irritating the customer who is expecting a smooth and quick pick-up process?
If you have a secured location to keep the merchandise form these orders, then you might want to consider removing the clothing security tags ahead of time. Some stores have access to a locked cage or other secured area to store these orders. This secured area would serve the same purpose as the tags. It provides a way to keep your customers happy while you keep your merchandise secure.
