ShopliftingTricks You Should Be Aware of For Preventing Shrinkage

March 23, 2015 by Leave a Comment

Haven’t you heard in police shows on TV how you have to think like a criminal to catch a criminal?  Well, in shoplifting prevention you have to know the methods these criminals are using to be able to protect your merchandise and your employees.  There are shoplifting rings that are professional and make their living stealing.  They may target a specific store or chain of stores, but they always have a plan and different people working to steal as much as they can without getting caught.  The shoplifting prevention team in your store may not be aware of some of these “methods,” and being aware of them may be the difference between a profitable store or one that is constantly loosing money.  For more news about this topic, follow the links below.

Suspects arrested after aluminum foil used in shoplifting

SNOHOMISH — Money-making schemes are a popular topic of conversation among the criminal community. One such scheme ended in three arrests earlier this month in Snohomish. A group of suspects was accused of working in tandem, using aluminum foil to defeat anti-shoplifting devices.

The trick is widely known among heroin addicts who pilfer goods to support their habit, Police Chief John Flood said. He credited the Nov. 2 bust at the Snohomish Station Kohl’s to increased anti-shoplifting patrols and proactive store security.
Snohomish police started seeing thieves trying the foil ruse about a year ago, Flood said. The crooks wrap bits of foil around the security tags.

Dubai shoplifters’ tricks: Cut magnetic tags

Two Egyptians, who allegedly fled with garments they stole from a shop after removing the magnetic tags, returned after 45 minutes to steal more, the Dubai Criminal Court heard.

AM, 27, truck driver and HS, 28, clerk were noticed roaming around in a well-known store by a security staff.

“I noticed two Arabs roaming around in the shop and kept an eye on them. They picked up a pair of shoes and a T-shirt and one of them entered the trial room while the other waited outside. Then the man came out of the room without the shoes and the garment.

“The two then stepped out of the shop and as the security device did not beep, I thought they had left the T-shirt and the shoes in the room,” the security staff told investigators.

However, the two returned to the shop after 45 minutes and picked up a pair of jeans, a wallet and two pair of shoes.

“One of them entered the dressing room and after they stepped out of the shop, the security gate did not beep this time too. I followed them and caught them near their car while calling police. When asked about the stolen items, they replied that they are in the car,” the security man said.

Retail Profiling Lawsuits: Businesses Would Rather Lose Merchandise Than Detain Potential Shoplifters

SAN FRANCISCO (KPIX 5) — Retailers lose $45 billion dollars annually to theft, about $10 billion of that to shoplifting.

Yet the last thing stores may want to do is catch a thief.

Chris Mcgoey knows all the tricks. He’s been in the loss prevention business for almost 40 years. On an undercover tour of a big box store he showed us how shoplifters stash things and how to pick out what he calls “likely candidates”, like women with big purses in shopping carts. Or shoppers with baby carriers.

Mcgoey admits it’s profiling. “It’s not based on race, religion, sex, age, any of those, it’s really based on behavior.  But he says these days some retailers would rather lose the merchandise than detain anyone. “America is  just shaking in their boots, they are scared. If you stop someone and they haven’t stolen anything you are sued.”

Earlier this year Barneys in New York paid half a million dollars to settle accusations it was singling out minority shoppers. The state launched an investigation after 19-year-old Trayon Christian sued the store for detaining him and questioning his ability to pay for an expensive belt.

Bartenders Beware- Employee Theft

March 15, 2015 by
If your nightclub or restaurant is experiencing inventory losses with your alcohol, chances are you have a problem with employee theft. There is a multitude of ways that your bartenders can steal from you, but there is also a multitude of ways that you can prevent employee theft behind the bar.
One of the easiest ways is to ensure your bartenders and wait staff all go through some kind of loss prevention training. This can be either in house, or contracted out through a loss prevention workshop. During the training, you and your employees will become more aware of different ways that employees have been caught stealing. This is great way to let employees know not to try it, because it is a known method- and it doesn’t work. 
It is also a chance to define exactly what constitutes theft- from the obvious stealing bottles, to free drinks, and even a matter of over pouring their shots of liquor. When your employees have a clear set of expectations, definitions and consequences, they are less likely to take the risk of stealing from you.
This is a prefect time to explain what the consequences will be for any employee caught reducing the company’s profits or inventory- intentionally or otherwise. Some offenses may only require additional training, while others will constitute termination of employment and prosecution.

Cradle to Grave- Internal Theft

March 15, 2015 by Leave a Comment
Power tools are items of merchandise that we have historically had shrink problems with. We had countless incidents and recoveries from shoplifters trying to steal these power tools. When we started to loose even more of them, we just assumed we had more shoplifters than normal, not internal theft.
Since we were loosing a significant amount of tools across the board, we decided that we needed to do a cradle to grave investigation, not necessarily an employee theft investigation. We started to check our receiving reports to find out when the merchandise came into the store, and see if we could track here it went from there. 
When we noticed that we were missing items that should have come in on the morning’s truck, but were nowhere to be found, we started to suspect internal theft.
We installed a temporary, discreet camera to see what was going on when nobody else was around. What we saw was employees sifting through the boxes of merchandise coming into the store. As soon as they found the boxes with power tools in them, they would set the box aside.
Near the end of their shift, they would toss the full boxes into the trash compactor. Someone would go to the outside of the building and grab them. This way the boxes were never seen leaving though one of the main doors.
We found out that the employees were selling the tools to a local pawn shop to get extra cash.

The 3 Essentials for a First-rate Loss Prevention Program

March 11, 2015 by Leave a Comment

shoplifting6It’s never been more profitable to be a shoplifter.  In the past it was difficult to make money from stolen merchandise.  A thief commonly used a third party or “fence” to offload the product.  Fencing was a secretive, high risk job and “average” shoplifters had no way to establish a connection with one.  If they did have one he got a share of the profits, often the biggest cut.

 But, the internet has dramatically changed this process.  It allows shoplifters to function as their own fence.  They’re able to eliminate the middleman and sell directly to, usually, unsuspecting people.  Selling stolen goods is easier, safer and more profitable than ever before.  Therefore, shoplifting is on the rise and, to stay in business, stores have to be diligent when creating a loss prevention program.

There are 3 main essentials needed for a successful loss prevention program.  The 1st and most important is proper store management.  This topic is thoroughly discussed in other articles on this site.  But, while vital, good management goes only so far.  Ultimately, an effective plan also includes 2 other essentials – towers coupled with security labels and hard tags.  

Towers are the 2nd essential piece of a successful security plan.  Checkpoint System is the leading provider of towers.  Checkpoint’s towers are plastic or metal structures and are positioned on both sides of an entrance.  They sound an alarm when an active Checkpoint tag or label, which is attached to the merchandise, passes through them.  Many shoplifters will by-pass a store with towers and, instead, target one without them.

A 3rd essential is hard tags and labels – Checkpoint has many types of each.  Tags are applied to items such as clothing, shoes, and purses; they need a special tool to be removed.  Some tags are filled with ink and will open if not properly removed.  Labels are attached to things like books, DVDs, cosmetics and are deactivated at the point of sale.  When shoplifters see a label or tag, they’ll often move on to merchandise that’s not so well protected.

Making a store a difficult target can keep thieves out of it, which creates a more pleasant, safer environment for employees and shoppers.  Just as importantly, Checkpoint can be the difference between staying in business or closing the doors.  Checkpoint System, coupled with security savvy management, can go a long way towards producing a profitable store.

Leave Your Worries Behind You- Criminal Background Checks

March 10, 2015 by
When conducting thorough criminal background checks it is important to get the applicant’s address history for the period of time you want to check. This is typically anywhere from five to ten years, depending upon the position they are applying for. 
Even though criminal convictions are public record, not all convictions are stored in a national database. That means you would have to contact every single county an applicant had lived in to verify if there was or was not a criminal record. Without the address list, it would be close to impossible to garner accurate criminal background checks.
While you would hope that an applicant who has had several addresses- in particular in several different counties or states had moved for valid reasons- such as job transfers with previous employers, not every move by every applicant is that legitimate.
Frequently, pre employment screening turns up criminal convictions for potential employees who have moved because they are trying to cover up previous mistakes.
Some job candidates with a criminal past fear they will be misjudged by their mistakes and look to start a new life somewhere else. Others are trying to escape neighborhoods or groups of people that will continue to drag them down the road of criminal activity. Some cannot find employment or opportunities where they have been convicted and go someplace else (out of state family an friends) who can help them shed their criminal pasts and stigmas.

Video Surveillance In Your Store

March 9, 2015 by Leave a Comment

shoplifting2Surveillance in your store can be a big deterrent for shoplifting and employee theft.  The knowledge that your store is protected, or at least that there are cameras capturing images of employees and customers, can help you save thousand of dollars yearly.  Employee theft is costing the retail industry millions of dollars every year and installing a type of security in your store can help you reduce the shrinkage you are experiencing.

For more about shoplifting, follow the links below.

Surveillance best cure for shoplifting

Aside from the holiday seasons where people aimlessly weave through cart-to-cart traffic down aisles in department or convenience stores, it’s difficult to predict when there will be spike in theft.

Particularly, shoplifting.

As of Friday, the Hutchinson Police Department has worked two cases of shoplifting this month. Granted, only nine unpredictably cold and not-so cold days have scooted by in March. But January and February were hot months for shoplifting with officers responding to 61 combined reported cases of shoplifting, according to Hutchinson Police bulletin archives.

There were 24 reports of shoplifting in December. Numbers from the archive bulletin suggests the shoplifting occurs at three of the most recognizable stores in the city: Wal-Mart, Dillons and various Kwik Shops.

Hastings, Target, J.C. Penney and Kohl’s are also sprinkled on the list of popularly shoplifted stores.

But why the heart-monitor like spike in thefts recently? Police Lt. Martin Robertson isn’t sure of the answer himself.

US based company allows shoplifters to avoid the police by charging them for an online course

IN THE game of Monopoly, there’s nothing better (apart from maybe winning free parking) than turning over that community chest card to see the words “get out of jail free.”

Now imagine that someone hands you that card after you’ve committed a criminal act in real life.

That is essentially what one company based in the United States is doing.

The Corrective Education Company (CEC) is a start-up, and works with businesses to offer shoplifters an alternative path to reform other than the boring old legal system.

Founded by a pair of Harvard graduates, it offers the chance for apprehended shoplifters to pay $411 ($US320) in order to avoid a phone call to the boys in blue.

That money goes towards the cost of attending an online course which is run by CEC that claims to reduce the likelihood of recidivism for the individual.

The obliging shop owners who refer the shoplifters get a cut of about $US40 per offender, and according to Slate around 20,000 offenders have so far coughed up for the program.

That works out to be $7.2 million that CEC has profited by blatantly circumventing the established judicial system.

Accessible To The Small Business- Employee Background Checks

February 23, 2015 by
With the increase in access to public information like criminal convictions, employment or education history, it has been more cost effective for even small businesses to conduct pre employment screening for all of their potential job candidates.
Previously, larger companies and organizations that were hiring for top-level executives, employees with security clearances, or law enforcement, did employee background checks. Due to the amount of time required by qualified experts to do pre employment screening, it was extremely expensive and unrealistic for small business owners to even consider.
The process of using pre employment screening as part of the hiring process, is actually pretty easy to standardize. Typically a business has an applicant fill out a job application. On the application there is notification that you reserve the right to conduct employee background checks prior to hiring any applicant. They have to sign acknowledging this requirement.
Next would be any pre interview screenings followed up by an actual job interview. During the job interview the potential employer has a chance to verbally review the application. 
This is the best time to find out more about the applicant’s personality and skill set. This is also an ideal time for the applicant to ask any questions they might have, but also to clarify any questions or red flags the potential employer has found.
If all goes well after the interview process, the pre employment screening is then conducted. Job offers can be made on a conditional basis- pending the results of the employee background checks.

See The Whole Picture- Employee Theft Investigation

February 15, 2015 by Leave a Comment
When you are conducting an employee theft investigation, you want to figure out every avenue that the employee is taking to benefit from your store’s assets. 
Even if you think that your employee theft investigation has unearthed exactly what the employee is doing, you might want to continue to pursue every other possible angle the employee could be taking.
It is not uncommon in an employee theft situation that more than one method of theft is uncovered. In one particular case, we had two employees working together.
One would ring up the other, and upon further review, not all of the merchandise taken had been sold. Instead of five items being sold, only one or two would be and the rest of the items would walk out the door.
We later discovered that the extra items were then refunded for store credit. In essence, we were getting the hit by the theft of the item, and then the refund of the item. 
Had we stopped our employee theft investigation at the pass offs at the register, we would have missed the refunds. We also would have missed that there was a third employee conducting the refunds, because they knew the product was stolen.
Once we started observing these employees, we found out that all three of them were actually stealing product and passing off inventory to the others. Without a thorough investigation, we would never have realized just how far the losses were going.

Would You Know What To Do? –Background Check Experts

February 9, 2015 by
To save some money, you decided to forego using any sort of background check experts for your pre employment screening. You figured that just about anything can be found by searching the internet, and a little bit of digging on your own. That’s what these background check experts do anyway, don’t they?
For the most part you would be right. The majority of the information you are looking for with a pre employment screening is public record, in particular criminal convictions. Employment history can be found by calling a previous employer directly. So what could possibly go wrong? 
Well, there are two missing parts to the puzzle that may cause you some problems. The first concern is how far you are going to go to get these histories and checks- especially if this applicant has moved around at all. One of my best employees took three weeks to get the information back on because we had to go through 19 different counties for background history. A previous employer had moved him across the US several times, thus the extensive moving history.
The next concern is what happens if you dig up incorrect information on a potential candidate and subsequently decline a job offer to a candidate based on those findings. You (your company) can be held liable for that information and can be sued by that candidate for slander and other offenses in a court of law. Would you know how to fix that information if the situation came up?

A Sense Of Pride- Loss Prevention Training

February 5, 2015 by
Anyone who has every had to conduct or host a training class or seminar has had the same fear at some point- Will any of the information set in? Before I gave any of my loss prevention training classes I thought about it. I worried that the employees would be bored, finding the information irrelevant to them, or simply more concerned about what they were going to have for lunch later on that day.
During one particular class, I had a lady who was very upfront that the only reason she was working here was to get the employee discount. Needless to say, I quickly assumed that she would barely pay attention, much less remember anything that I was teaching her.
Months later, she came unexpectedly barging into my office. They very first thing she said was “I remembered what you said in loss prevention training about red flags…” Sure enough, she did remember, and she was right in picking up on some red flags, which ended up stopping a loss of almost $1200 dollars.
To this day, I am not sure about who had a greater sense of pride- her or me. She was so proud of herself for doing something she never dreamed herself capable of. I was proud that I had given her the tools, in such a way that she remembered after all of those months, to be successful.
