We had another shoplifter this weekend. It was a pretty routine stop; all of our clothing security was in place. The anti theft devices on the clothes set off the alarm, not that we needed them to, because we had been watching the whole time.

 What was a little bit of an unexpected twist, was after they had concealed several shirts in their book bag, they stopped by one of the wrap stands and picked up a few chocolates and some candy we had for a special promotion.

 They had been bold enough to start to unwrap the chocolate on their way out of the store, not even thinking that the cashiers nearby saw them take the candy. 

They almost were spooked out by our cashiers, lucky for us and unlucky for the shoplifter, we were close enough to shoo them away so we could make the apprehension.

 It was a situation where I guess the shoplifter didn’t realize that they were biting off more than they could chew.

I had a shoplifter come in over the weekend and tried on some shirts in the fitting room. I had started my surveillance on her because she came in and quickly selected the maximum amount of clothes you can try on in the fitting rooms.

 She didn’t really seem to care about what she picked up; she just started laying things over her arm and headed off to a fitting room stall.

 After she was done, she was obviously wearing one of our shirts. You didn’t need to work in clothing security to realize that the tag was hanging out of the collar of her shirt.

 The other tell tale sign was the anti theft device still attached at the bottom hem of the shirt. She tried to cover it up by clenching her arm tight against the tag, but it only made her seem more obvious, and more awkward as she walked to the door.

 When we stopped her, she desperately tried to convince us that the shirt she was wearing was indeed hers. After one of the employees came out with her old shirt, she knew it was best to give it up.

Anti theft devices that we used to use for the clothing security on our store’s clothes were given the nickname of UFOs. We used to call them UFOs because the shape looked like a tiny flying saucer. The larger half that was attached to the pin was a hard plastic disk with a little sphere in the middle giving it the look of some sci fi miniature.

 Now there are so many different sizes and shapes that the UFO is almost a thing of the past. The traditional UFO shape, while still available, has given way to sleeker, more modern appearances in anti theft devices.

 While the alarm pedestals at the doors still easily detect the tags, they are generally much smaller in size. Both the overall width and thicknesses have decreased making it much more aesthetically pleasing for the shoppers.

 The smaller design also helps the customer try on clothes without the bulky tag getting in their way. This makes for one less customer complaint to arise when trying to make a sale.

Do you really need to tag every piece of clothes that comes into your inventory? The reality is, probably not. Some things are just not a high theft item. Sure you can use anti theft devices on all of your merchandise to increase your clothing security. I doubt it will really help you reduce your shrink, though.

 It is a matter of evaluating your individual company or store needs. When I was working in high-end fashion, basics (like socks and underwear) were not high theft items.

 When I worked at the farther end of the spectrum in general merchandise, packaged socks and underwear, in name brands, were high theft items.

 Here I spent time adding in EAS labels to increase the clothing security. It paid off in the end because we did see a reduction in shrink losses in that product group after the labels had been added.

 Spend your time wisely because time is money. The time you spend tagging unnecessary items is money lost.

I don’t know why, but I hate fitting rooms. Even after all these years of working in retail and knowing what a pain it is to have to take back a refund, I would still rather try on clothes in the privacy of my own home.

 The downside is that I have to be very careful of which stores I shop at because some do not accept refunds, and some only give back merchandise credit on returns. If I am returning something that I didn’t like after I tried it on, I would rather not be stuck with that item.

 That is one of the biggest draws I had to being able to request a free sample of anti theft devices from RBC. I can check them out in the privacy of my office without some pushy salesman popping their head in on me every five seconds.

 It gives me that time to think and inspect the product so I know that I made the right decision with getting my cheap tags and cheap labels from RBC for my clothes.

So, one day I was walking around the store with my Loss Prevention Regional manager. Every time we went near a door, the alarm would set off. After a few alarms, I started to notice that there weren’t’ always any customers around.

 I finally looked at my regional and told her that she needed to put back whatever it was that she was stealing because she was driving up my false door alarms for the day.

 She stopped for a minute and then realized it was her shoes.

 She had recently bought a new pair of shoes that had an anti theft device that was hidden inside the shoes from the manufacturer. It must have been a cheap tag because it kept reactivating itself.

 She had already tried to deactivate the tag on several prior occasions, but it kept coming back. We knew it was her shoes, because as soon as she put them on top of our deactivator pad, the false alarms quit going off.

Our latest apprehension involved a lady who came into our store with a huge purse on her shoulder. It looked almost like a bag you would take to the beach, but was rather empty looking. 

She went around the store collecting random clothes, a few shirts here, a pair of shorts there, and even a pair of socks.

 Sure enough, she took her haul and went to the back corner of the store and stooped down. Quick as a wink, she shoved all of the clothes into her purse and stood back up.

 The purse, now full of odd bulges, seemed to weigh her down as she headed towards the door. Since she left the anti theft devices on, she set the alarm off on her way out.

 When we went to apprehend her, she started swinging her big bag at us. A customer saw, and called 911 telling them about a fight in progress.

 Almost immediately, no less than three squad cars showed up in our parking lot, and quickly subdued our shoplifter. We got our product back, and she got a trip down to the station.

Small specialty clothing stores have been the target of many things that are bad for business, the economy, slashed budgets, reduced payroll and opportunistic thieves. The owners of these businesses are frantic and are hanging by a thread attempting to keep their doors open. The inventory losses coming at the tail end of a year of dismal sales due to the slowing economy and reduced payroll was the last facet of the perfect storm. Thieves see the slowing economy as a huge opportunity to pillage businesses that during the good times have anti theft devices and plenty of payroll to ensure good floor coverage.

One particular clothing store that I helped was in dire straits. The owner was on the brink of closing her doors and could not understand why her clothes were walking out the door. A quick observation of her business showed that her lack of payroll and a non functioning checkpoint system were high on the list as to the causes of the shrink. The Checkpoint system was not broken, in fact once plugged in it worked just fine; however, when she opened her doors the system was already installed. This business owner did not know how to go about turning the system on and figured that she would never need it since she only had in her opinion a small business. The main problem was this business owner was not aware of the fact that an EAS system is one of the best clothing security tools in the industry. I explained that all of the clothes within her four walls could be tagged or labeled and if someone attempted to remove them from the store the EAS pedestals would sound the alarm. She understood the fact that when there is proper signage indicating there is a working EAS system even is payroll has been reduced there will still be a deterrence factor against shoplifting.

The selling point to the business owner was the fact that she could purchase inexpensive labels and tags from RBC Security Solutions to tag her products. She was also impressed with the fact that the tags and labels were manufactured here in the United States. As a small business owner she appreciates the fact that companies are able to develop and manufacture products here in the US thereby supporting local economies. Once her EAS system was activated, her employees trained on how to tag/label and respond to EAS alarms her weekly inventory category counts immediately improved, the hemorrhaging stopped. Another small business saved with the ingenuity of an American business improvising and manufacturing products that help keep businesses from failing due to high shrink.

September is a traditionally big month for weddings. Every bride wants to look and feel their absolute best on their special day. If you have been a part of a wedding in the last few years, or work in the wedding business, then you are well aware of how completely insane some brides can get.

 This insanity can often lead to completely wrong or out of character choices. That, coupled with the enormous cost of a wedding in its entirety can lead many brides (or grooms) to take matters into their own hands.

 Having the perfect clothes for the bride, bridesmaids, groom, etc, is only the start. There are jewelry and accessories to think about too.

 We have all seen the TV shows that watch brides tearing apart racks of dresses, and each other, to find the perfect outfit. It is no surprise that these same brides would resort to shoplifting to get the wedding item they are so desperately coveting.

 If you use your common sense and add anti theft devices to your inventory, you might just stay one-step ahead of the bride who has lost all of hers.
