On The Way Out- Prevent Shoplifting

December 24, 2014 by Leave a Comment
If you are one of the 95% of retailers who has experienced shoplifting in your stores over the last few years, you might be trying to figure out how to build a better mousetrap that will prevent shoplifting. The success will be in not stopping the shoplifters once they have started trying to steal, but rather stopping them from wanting to steal once they are in your store.
That subtle difference can mean the world to your shrink results and to your bottom line. Many retailers don’t realize just how hard it is to stop a shoplifter once they have started the shoplifting process.
If a shoplifter has come into the store and weighed the effectiveness of your security with their own level of confidence and decided they can get away with the theft, it is too late. Now the shoplifter has a goal in mind, and a plan. Once they have the merchandise in their possession, they are determined to get back out of the store, sometimes by whatever means they deem necessary- including violence.
By beefing up your retail anti theft devices and other kinds of store security, you start to weigh the scales back into your favor, persuading the shoplifter to steal somewhere less risky.
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.

Don’t Worry About the Alarm- Clothing Alarm

December 23, 2014 by Leave a Comment
A grab and run is a quick in and out theft where the criminals grab as much merchandise as they can and then run out the door as fast as they can to a waiting car. Because this kind of theft relies on speed, they are not concerned with defeating clothing security tags. They don’t care if they activate the clothing alarm since they will be gone before anyone can respond and try to stop them.
You can usually expect to have at least one if not more than one person entering your store to physically grab the merchandise. They will pick their targeted area- handbags, jeans, and specific designer or label, and grab as much as they can carry at one time.
They may or may not have another person acting as a lookout. Their main job is to let the rest of their crew know when the coast is clear to run out the door. As such, many times we see the grabbers lingering near the doors with piles of clothing waiting for the signal to go.
Finally, you can expect at least one or two people to stay outside. Their job is to have the get away car ready at the exit. They extra person might be there to open the doors of the car, the signal that the lookout is waiting for. If you see a car waiting by a door, you might want to make sure they are there for a good reason.

Pay Them To Steal From You- Pre Employment Screening

December 22, 2014 by
Pre employment screening that goes beyond a simple reference check can uncover some crazy situations that you might have never thought possible. Before you become a target for organized retail crime, do a little extra research before you make a hiring decision. Better yet, hire a background check company to do the digging for you.
A reputable background check company should have the ability to decipher data that might lead to other questionable things the employee is trying to hide. 
A criminal history, as well as a pre employment screening involving previous addresses or acquaintances might show that this employee is associated with gangs, mafia, or other known criminals.
While not all employees are going to be criminals just because they associate with other criminals, many are looking for jobs at specific stores that the crime ring needs an insider. 
If they get one of “their guys” hired at your stores, it will be infinitely easier for them to steal, rob and defraud you. If they have to try and convince one of your honest employees to help them out, their time and resources are spent recruiting an unknown, who may turn them in, instead of profiting from their deceit.
Do not be fooled into thinking that just because you are giving someone a paycheck, his or her loyalties lie with you. If these employees are working for a crime ring, their loyalties are actually with the ring that has put them in your store. The fact that you are paying them to steal from you is their bonus, but one that a background check company can potentially help you avoid.

Lurking In The Shadows- Alpha Nano Gate

December 17, 2014 by Leave a Comment
I think every retailer I have ever worked for has stumbled across a shoplifter lurking in a back corner. They sit and they wait for an opportunity to remove retail anti theft devices or conceal their shoplifting efforts.
We have all seen the signs of these shoplifting safe havens. When you look under shelves, or tables you can find a mass of torn of price tags, or sometimes locate hoards of merchandise that a shoplifter is ferreting away to steal later on when they think the coast is clear.
While the obvious solution is to open up these back corners and areas, it is not always practical (or physically possible) to try and remerchandise the entire store to eliminate them. 
Another solution is to use retail anti theft devices like the Alpha Security Alpha Nano Gate. This is a product that is designed to fit into small spaces, or back areas of a store that lend themselves to shoplifting.
The Alpha Nano Gate is a miniature EAS tower that attaches onto a wall or other stable spot. As a customer or shoplifter enters the area with tagged merchandise, an alarm will go off alerting staff to a potential theft issue in progress.
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.

Looking At The Top 80%- Clothing Security Tags

December 16, 2014 by Leave a Comment
Clothing security tags play a vital role in mitigating shoplifting by the majority of non- professional shoplifters. There are the shoplifters who steal out of need, or want, not necessarily to make a profit or a living off of the stolen goods.
Because much of the theft reported nation wide comes out of these non professional shoplifters, some retailers have seen upwards of 80% reduction in inventory losses and shrinkage that had previously been caused by shoplifting.
80% seems like it would be an anomaly, one of those reports just to help validate a product or service. Can everyone really see an 80% reduction in theft? Actually yes, yes you can.
Of course, you first of all need to identify where your losses are coming from. Security tags on clothes won’t help you with merchandise that never made it into your store from the vendor. Clothing security doesn’t help you if your inventory losses are coming from damaged products. If your cashiers are not selling the correct item number or SKU, you do not have a theft issue, you have an operational issue.
Clothing security tags are only an effective deterrent against shoplifters, and to a lesser degree, employee theft. They increase the risk of a shoplifter being caught, making it far less attractive for them to steal.

Quick as a Wink- Employee Theft Investigation

December 15, 2014 by Leave a Comment
If you suspect that an employee is stealing cash from you, an employee theft investigation should be started as soon as possible. Cash theft can quickly escalate if it is not detected and resolved as soon as possible.
Depending upon the method of cash theft being used determines how much of a financial impact the employee theft has on your overall financial performance. Some employees will make an obvious shortage by taking cash directly from a till without bothering to cover it up in any way. This is generally referred to as the “low hanging fruit”.
Others will devise complex or elaborate schemes to cover their tracks making it far more difficult to pinpoint the exact losses that are occurring. These employee theft cases are ones that eventually get caught but only because they have become so comfortable in their theft that their methods begin to show up on our radar screens.
I had an employee that was taking cash at the end of her shift almost every night. She would search through the journal tape to find cash transactions that had happened earlier in the day. Then she would refund a few of those transactions, and keep the cash. 
It wasn’t until we noticed an increase in our cost of goods that we started to see all of the refunds for cash. She had become so comfortable, that she would refund a few hundred dollars every shift that she worked causing thousands of dollars in losses.

Social Media To The Rescue- Clothing Security

December 9, 2014 by Leave a Comment
Social Media is a great way to market a small business. It is free service that quickly and effectively communicates with and entices potential customers to come shop with them. In some cases, social media can be used as a secondary form of clothing security.
A woman went to a local clothing boutique and stole a dress. Afterwards she wore the dress and posted a selfie with her not only wearing the dress but indicating that it was a new dress.
About the same time, the clothing boutique owner posted onto his social media that a dress had been stolen. He had a picture and a description of the dress that turned out to be a one of a kind, distinctly patterned dress.
Someone saw the posting from the local clothing boutique, and also saw the woman’s posting wearing the same dress and notified local law enforcement. The woman was subsequently arrested and prosecuted for the theft.
Because of the distinct look of the dress, it was easy for the law enforcement to make a positive identification. Had the dress not been as distinct, an arrest may not have happened. It was a lucky break for the clothing boutique owner, since he did not have any other clothing security in place to prevent this from happening.

The First Year- Employee Background Checks

December 8, 2014 by
For many small businesses, the average length of employment for their non-management positions is only about one year. In those twelve short months, many things can happen – both good and bad. Since that length of time is so short, conducting employee background checks and pre employment screening is absolutely essential. 
Coincidentally, the majority of employees who are caught stealing confess to their first theft incident within the first year of employment. They can be discouraged because they feel trapped in a job they thought would be better than what it actually is. They can feel like they were misled in the interview process about how great the business is.
These dishonest employees also can feel slighted over job promotions they do not get, or working harder than more tenured employees. Sometimes employees apply for jobs at businesses they know they can steal from, and start their thefts on day one. All of which are justifications for an employee to steal from their employer.
All of those situations are more avoidable by using employee background checks. The checks are designed to show work history, previous theft issues, criminal arrests, and validations of educational backgrounds.
When there are only a few short months between an employee’s hire date and their first incident of theft, having the right people in place from day one becomes increasingly critical. There is not an extended amount of time that you can hire someone and then find out what his or her real employment or criminal background is.

One For Each- Retail Anti Theft Devices

December 3, 2014 by Leave a Comment
Alpha Security Alpha Jewel Lok is actually comprised of three different locking mechanisms for earrings. They recognized that they could not just make one style of Alpha Jewel Lok that would sufficiently protect all three styles of earrings available on the market today.
The Alpha Jewel Lok retail anti theft devices are hard to defeat locks that secure earrings onto the jewelry cards, preventing a shoplifter from easily stealing the merchandise.
The three kinds of locks are for hoop earrings, stud earrings and French wire earrings. Each lock designed with the specific characteristics of each earring in mind.
The stud earring locks not only attach the earring to the jewelry card by securing the post on the back, but they also incorporate a “parking” area for the backs to be kept. As anyone who wears a stud earring knows, the back is just as essential as the actual earring is when you are wearing them.
The French wires attach onto the wire with a low profile design that cannot be seen from the front. This helps keep a better visual appearance for these often flashy or highly decorative earrings.
Hoop earrings also need their own locks to prevent shoplifting. Just like the other two styles, the hoop posts are secured to the card from the back providing a secure deterrent from shoplifters.
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.

200 Out The Door- Clothing Security

December 2, 2014 by Leave a Comment
While some criminals feel like they need to develop highly complex and in depth plans to shoplift, steal and defraud a clothing store, it is often the simplest methods that still carry the biggest payoff. Risking a clothing alarm going off may be avoided with the right criminal tools.
A recent example is the theft of over two hundred pairs of underwear from a high-end clothing store. A man walked into the store with a large bag, went to the closest tables he could get to, and pushed as many pairs into the bag. He then ran out of the store. After reviewing the store’s clothing security cameras, it was determined that this man was in and out of the store in less than two minutes.
Eventually the police did catch up to the man, and found the merchandise, along with the bag. It turns out that the bag had a foil lining- designed to thwart the clothing alarm. In most states these kinds of shoplifting aides are illegal, and can impose added charges to the shoplifter.
While foil linings can still defeat some clothing security, many of the more reputable dealers are using technology that not only alerts employees to foil linings coming into the store, but also will not be defeated or bypassed by their use.
