Don’t Hang Yourself- Anti Shoplifting

When I worked security for a major home improvement retailer, we frequently had expensive saw blades stolen. These blades came with the absolute minimal plastic packaging possible. They were designed to merchandise the blades on a pegboard with the maximum shelf quantity. The only retail theft prevention came from a small EAS label that was easy to peel off the plastic packaging.

Our thieves knew that we had limited resources to stop shoplifting these saw blades. The end result was that we lost them both frequently and in large quantities. Shoplifters would clear an entire peg worth of blades in just one swift motion. That could be anywhere from a few hundred to a thousand dollar loss all at once.

It wasn’t until recently that there was a better anti shoplifting product that could help us with this particular problem. The Alpha Security Alpha Spider Web’s unique multi-strand steel cable mesh bag presents an excellent visual deterrent.  The Alpha Spider Web still allows for open merchandising while providing anti shoplifting. Spider Webs provide breakthrough security for even the most irregular-shaped packages.

Had we had access to the Alpha Spider Web anti shoplifting devices, we never would have lost the thousands of dollars annually to shoplifters stealing our saw blades.
