The Not So Obvious- Retail Theft Prevention

November 9, 2014 by Leave a Comment
The criminal mind is an ever changing, constantly evolving scheme. Just when you think you have them beat, along comes something completely unexpected. The current trend in theft is to attack where they least expect it to be. Hackers are targeting systems that are seemingly less obvious targets. As a result there is a lower level of security. Retail theft prevention is starting to notice a similar trend.
Shoplifters are starting to target less obvious merchandise. The theory is that retailers are concentrating their resources to stop shoplifting of high end/ high priced, designer, and well-known brands. As a result, shoplifters looking to make an easier score are targeting items that are not common high theft items.
One example is a theft ring that was just caught in Arizona. The thieves were targeting more expensive building block toys. These thieves knew better than to steal hundred dollar fragrances or designer jeans (for example) they went after the toys.
In stores that cater to mostly moms and kids, the retail theft prevention that was in place was much easier to defeat, and these criminals knew it. After several thousands of dollars in product had been lost, the toy stores partnered with the local crime ring task force who ultimately put an end to the losses.

Is That One Or Two- Clothing Security

November 8, 2014 by Leave a Comment
We have had more success with selling swim items separately, instead of as a two-piece set. Customers can buy the correct top and bottom sizes they need, and are much happier with their purchase, decreasing the amount of returns we have on these items.
We also have fewer issues with miss-matched sets. We don’t have to worry about customers taking two sets in different sizes and piecing together the sizes they need, leaving us with a set that is not the same size, and almost impossible to sell.
We also have a better margin selling two pieces for slightly more than what we would sell the set as before. This gives more wiggle room for sales and promotions. It also helps offset some of our shrink losses from shoplifting, since swimwear is always a high theft item.
I had an incident recently where a woman had come into the store to buy a new swim set. She thought that she could be sneaky and basically, con the cashier. This woman picked out her two-piece swimsuit and put them on the same hanger. Then she pulled the price tag off of one of the pieces. She was trying to make it look like the pieces were to be sold as a set, instead of individually.
The cashier caught the error and rang her up for both pieces, instead of just one.

Go Big Or Go Home- Clothing Security

November 5, 2014 by Leave a Comment
One of the challenges facing retailers who sell clothing is trying to prevent a grab and run theft. A grab and run is about as self-explanatory as you can get. The thieves, as there are typically more than one, come into a store, pick up a large quantity of the same merchandise, and run out the door into the waiting get away car.
Usually the merchandise will be either an entire fixture arm of clothes, or all of the merchandise on a display table. We see jeans, name brand coats, and designer ready to wear being the biggest targets of these thefts.
Sometimes the thieves will load their own arms up as with as much as what they can hold, sometimes they will use the store’s shopping bags or carts to hold the massive quantity of merchandise on their way out the door.
Because these thefts are so big and obvious, the shoplifter will come in and out in as little time as possible- sometimes less than a minute total. They will have scoped out the store ahead of time to find out where items are kept. They will figure out the best place to park the escape vehicle, and they will know when your employees are most and least likely to notice them.

Caught Red (Lobster) Handed- Checkpoint Security Systems

November 2, 2014 by Leave a Comment
Sometimes shoplifting is not a well thought out, super high tech crime. Sometimes shoplifting happens because of an individual’s immediate need. These low-tech crimes are still happening frequently. Checkpoint Security Systems are an ideal way to identify these shoplifters.
A recent news story came out around a lady who decided to go into her local supermarket to shoplift. She seemed to think that the best way to commit this crime was to conceal the product that she wanted. She was extremely obvious in her crime, and was quickly caught on the store’s Checkpoint Security System.
This woman walked over to the seafood section and quickly picked up several packages of lobster tails. She picked up so many packages that the total was over $80 dollars worth. Since she didn’t think to bring a bag with her, she used the next best thing- her pants. 
The store security team watched as she stuffed her pants full of packages of lobster tails and then wobbled her way to the exit doors. Because her pants were so full, she was even more obvious as she tried to leave. When she was apprehended, she told police that she was going to trade the tails to a friend for either a buffet lunch or for some prescription drugs.

Non Inventory Store Losses- Clothing Security

November 1, 2014 by Leave a Comment
I had a recent discussion with a small business that did not know how to look for clothing losses since they did not conduct an inventory. They guessed that they were being targeted by shoplifters, partly due to the frequency of people entering their store and not buying anything, and partly because they did not use any electronic article surveillance systems either.
We knew that in order to solve the problem, we needed to have some ways to identify what kinds of thefts were taking place, and what kinds of clothing protection would be effective to stop the inventory losses for happening.
We started by taking a look at the store’s sales reports. We broke the sales down by departments and compared them to last month’s sales and last year’s. We noticed which departments were behind on their sales goals for the year, and which ones did not increase compared to last year. I explained that if they did not have the right products to sell, then they would not have a chance at meeting or exceeding their sales goals.
Next we looked for signs of theft- specifically for torn of clothing tags. We found several caches of them behind the mirrors in the fitting rooms. We also found them under some shelves in an unattended corner of the store.

Everything Is In Working Order- Checkpoint Security Systems

October 23, 2014 by Leave a Comment
Anti shoplifting tools are there to be used both during and after operating hours. Components like EAS devices deter and stop shoplifting during the day, while your Checkpoint security system protects your inventory at night. Just as you would perform a test of your EAS devices and towers, you should perform a test of your security system to make sure everything is in working order
The alarm test is actually pretty simple to conduct and should not take more than about twenty to thirty minutes, depending on the size of your store and the amount of access points to test.
Step one is to call the alarm monitoring company and tell them you are going to conduct a test of your Checkpoint Security Systems. They will place the system on test for you. This is extremely important to do first. 
If your system is not on test mode, the alarms that you trigger will notify the police. You may be charged a false alarm fee by your city if the police have to respond.
Next walk through your store. Make sure you walk past all motion sensors and open all doors that have an alarm. When you are done, call the alarm company back to have your system taken off of test mode. 
You will now have a detailed list of all points that triggered. Any point that did not alarm that should have needs to have maintenance done immediately.
By ensuring that all points are working, you know that your store will be protected in the event of an after hour break in.

It’s The Little Things- Retail Theft Prevention

October 16, 2014 by Leave a Comment
Sometimes it is the little things in life that matter. Sometimes it is also the little things that add up to big things, like shoplifting. The average shoplifter usually takes about fifty to one hundred dollars worth of product per each shoplifting incident. That’s not much. In fact, because these are only averages, many retailers have stopped wasting their time apprehending shoplifting incidents under twenty-five dollars.
What they have found is that the time and money spent to apprehend and prosecute these low dollar cases does not outweigh the losses from the crime. So it makes sense financially to let those small-dollar shoplifting incidents go.
The flip side is that when you have too many small dollar incidents, you still add up with a cumulatively large financial loss. For the big box stores that are large enough and financially secure enough to absorb such losses, this is not a big deal. 
What about for the smaller retailer? How much can you effectively absorb before it is too big to handle? 
You might want to focus on smaller dollar losses, so they do not become a bigger issue over time. It might make more sense to you to take care to these little things.

The Unsuspecting Face- Clothing Security

October 16, 2014 by Leave a Comment
When I mention organized crime, or organized retail crime, many of the people I am talking to start to picture scenes from The Godfather, or a roaring twenties mob boss. Because this image is so strongly embedded, many retailers think that because no one in a fedora and pin stripe suit is stealing from them they are immune to organized retail theft.
The sad reality is that organized criminals are stealing from these stores because the owners and employees are so oblivious to what is going on. The employees are simply looking the other way, or do not realize the full extent of the theft.
In fact, many organized retail theft cases that I have worked in the past revolve around a suspect that every one in the store has seen. That is because these thieves are in the store on multiple occasions and aren’t scared of employee interaction. When I show my employees pictures of my suspects so they can let me know if they see them, the employees often are surprised because they do recognize the suspect. They see them frequently, but never suspected a thing.
The days of mob bosses and pin striped suits are gone. The new face of organized crime is one of many nationalities, both males and females, and of all groups.

Cash Is King- Clothing Security

October 13, 2014 by Leave a Comment
Does your small business keep tight controls on your cash? You probably do. You probably have register reports that tell you how much cash you should have at the end of the day. You probably also count the cash in your safe and any starting banks for your tills. You most likely have a bank deposit log for outgoing deposits, and balance that record against your account statements form the bank every quarter, if not every month. Needless to say, cash is king, and your treat it as such to avoid cash losses.
How about your merchandise? Do you keep the same level of control and ownership of the clothes you sell? Do you maintain inventory tracking and counting in addition to having clothing controls in place? You have a locking cash register, but do you secure you clothing in any way within the store?
Many clothiers do not. Merchandise and inventories are an extension of cash- your cash. Instead of taking the shape of bills and coins, this cash comes in the form of shirts, shoes and accessories. 
Because you spent your carefully managed and tracked cash on purchasing your inventory, would it not make sense that you should spend as much time and effort in protecting your clothing inventory from losses?

Share and Share Alike- Checkpoint Systems

October 12, 2014 by Leave a Comment
Just like we learned in Kindergarten, we should always share. That means we should also share with the shoplifters coming into our stores. The best way to share is to share information like your store policy regarding shoplifters as well as the fact that your store is protected and monitored by Checkpoint Systems.
A large part of anti shoplifting actually comes in the form of education. That means educating your employees on why you use Checkpoint Tags and Checkpoint labels. It also means educating them on what behaviors a shoplifter demonstrates, and also what they can do to deter the shoplifter from stealing.
Sharing this same information with potential shoplifters is equally as important as a deterrent. That doesn’t mean your employees shout across the store that they think a customer is a shoplifter and they are being watched. It means that Checkpoint Tags and Checkpoint Labels are not hidden. They are placed strategically and obviously so shoplifters are aware that the store is being protected.
The same thing goes with signage stating things like “shoplifters will be prosecuted” and “the premises is under video surveillance”. These signs should be displayed prominently so the information can be readily shared with anyone thinking that they might come steal from your store.
