A New Resolution- Loss Prevention Workshop

May 14, 2014 by
Every year millions of well intentioned people make New Years resolutions. Just like every year businesses small and large alike, are making new budgets and goals. Regardless of whether your New Year starts in January, February or October, making a resolution to take a Loss Prevention Workshop is always a good idea.
One of the reasons why resolutions fail within the first three weeks is because the goals are not attainable or are so vague that it is nearly impossible to quantify or track any potential progress that has been made.
When you make a goal to attend Loss Prevention Training, you can set a quantifiable goal. Which class will you take? Who in your business will go? What should you expect to see as a result?
Now you have a specific date with specific attendees in mind. As far as the expected result, you have a few ways to measure that success. You can compare year-to-year shrink results to see if there is a decrease. You can also take the knowledge that was gained at the Loss Prevention Workshop and implement a set number of those ideas.
All of which will help you keep this goal in check long after the first three weeks are up. Just remember to keep it simple and keep it measurable.

Report of shoplifting leads to drug-related arrest

A report of shoplifting led to the discovery of drug paraphernalia and the arrest of a Georgia man, according to a press release from the Hillsboro Police Department.

On Saturday afternoon, police responded to a call from Lowe’s Loss Prevention that a male shoplifter had been apprehended after having “taken a weed eater from the store,” the press release states.

Hillsboro Municipal Court records show Morris was arraigned Monday morning on both charges, a first-degree and fourth-degree misdemeanor respectively.

According to records, Morris pleaded guilty to both charges.

For the first charge of theft, Morris was given reporting probation. Morris is prohibited from having contact with Lowe’s, must obtain counseling, and must observe a 9 p.m. through 6 a.m. curfew until that counseling is completed.

Oesterling did not offer an explanation for his conduct.

Is Your Shoplifting Policy Effectual?

May 8, 2014 by Leave a Comment

theft (10)Shoplifting affects everyone. Although it is common sense and the statistics about shoplifting are there to prove the severity of this crime, many retailers still fail to implement rigorous anti shoplifting policies that deterred the shoplifter from entering their store. Last year Wal-Mart implemented the policy that its employees not stop shoplifters if the items are $25 or less. Although Wal-Mart’s founder Sam Walton believed that shoplifting was one of the biggest enemies of the retail industry, the policy may just demoralize Wal-Mart’s workforce.

Shoplifting suspect charged with faking receipt

WASHINGTON, Pa. (AP) — A retail theft suspect has been jailed and now faces a new charge after a prosecutor says the Pennsylvania man brought a bogus receipt for the merchandise to his preliminary hearing.

The defense attorney for 34-year-old Adam Arena, of Richeyville, could not immediately be reached Thursday for comment on a new charge of records tampering.

According to the (Washington) Observer-Reporter (http://bit.ly/1hgPBG8 ) Washington County Assistant District Attorney Josh Carroll asked police to arrest Arena after he presented the bogus Wal-Mart receipt Tuesday.

Shoplifting charges dropped against Muslim woman held in Macy’s detention center for hours

NEW YORK (PIX11) – Juweria Khalid said she was a frequent Macy’s shopper, never missed their popular one day sales and this past October was no different, but little did she know how that day would change her life.

Khalid said after she already purchased a bracelet from the jewelry department, she spotted some earrings she also liked. Since she was already headed to the children’s department to shop for her two-year-old and 10-month-old, Khalid decided to pay for all of her items together on the 7th floor.

With her arms were full of bags from previous purchases, Khalid said she placed the earrings in her purse, fully intending she insists, to pay for her items. That’s when she was stopped by Macy’s loss prevention guards.

“I took out the jewelry and said to them I’m not stealing it. I’m going to buy it on the 7th floor. They never listened to me,” said Khalid.

Khalid was taken to the now infamous detention area of Macy’s, which she described to us as nothing short of a jail with bars. The Muslim woman, who wears a hijab, a Muslim head scarf, was forced to remove it.

Do You Know The Shoplifter’s Face?

May 6, 2014 by Leave a Comment

theft (9)The National Association for Shoplifting prevention states that there are approximately 27 million shoplifters (or 1 in 11 people) in our nation today. More than 10 million people have been caught shoplifting in the last five years. Who are those people you may ask?  There is truly not one stereotype that fits the shoplifting type.  A police officer today was found guilty for shoplifting while having his three kids with him during the incident.  Other shoplifters include: teens, mothers, sons, daughters, husbands, wives and even a contender for the California state senate are/or have been found guilty of shoplifting merchandise.

Follow the links below for more information about shoplifting.

Woman, teen arrested in shoplifting spree

FORT WALTON BEACH – A 51-year-old woman, and an 18-year-old boy were arrested for a shoplifting spree at a local department store, lawmen say.

The woman, Eva Anna Layton of Fort Walton Beach, and the boy, Grayson Lance Kasper of Niceville, are accused of going into Kohl’s on Beal Parkway and loading up a shopping cart with 15 swimsuits, three wallets, a bracelet, a necklace, two pairs of sunglasses, and a purse. According to the Okaloosa County Sheriff’s Office arrest report, Layton went into the men’s fitting room and came out wearing the purse over her shoulder as if it belonged to her. The purse was allegedly filled with purloined merchandise.

She then went to the service counter where she tried to return two swimsuits and two swimsuit covers she had chosen from the floor.

When she was approached by a deputy, Layton allegedly refused to stop trying to return the items and asked the deputy to finish with her once she’d finished with her return. When the employee took Layton’s purse, Layton reportedly said the purse was hers and demanded the employee leave it alone.

Mary Hayashi’s campaign foe puts shoplifting case front and center

Mary Hayashi brought her campaign for an East Bay/South Bay state Senate seat to bemused sports fans the other night in Oakland, San Francisco and the Peninsula, as well as to her district, when she ran a 30-second TV ad in the middle of the Giants-Padres baseball game.

The upbeat spot, which one Democratic consultant not involved in the race estimated cost north of $50,000, focused on the Castro Valley politician’s support from women, students, minorities and the medical profession.

“Join local teachers, doctors, small business owners and nurses like me,” says a young woman in surgical scrubs. “Vote for Mary Hayashi for state Senate.”

Not surprisingly, the feel-good spot doesn’t mention the elephant in the campaign, which is Hayashi’s 2012 conviction for stealing $2,450 worth of clothes from a Neiman Marcus store in San Francisco.

Not to worry. Democratic Assemblyman Bob Wieckowski of Fremont, who’s running against Hayashi for the seat, has that covered.

In a new website titled, “Mug Shot Mary,” Wieckowski gleefully runs through the entire case, reminding voters that Hayashi was in the Assembly when she was arrested and is slated to remain on probation until 2015.

Just in case anyone thought he was being too subtle, Wieckowski adds that three state senators, including San Francisco’s Leland Yee, have been arrested or convicted of crimes in the past three months, and “now, Mary Hayashi wants to join them in the state Senate.”

Hayashi was arrested on suspicion of felony grand theft, but pleaded no contest to a misdemeanor shoplifting charge. She was fined $180, put on three years’ probation and ordered to stay away from the Union Square store.

Highlands husband, wife accused of shoplifting

AVON PARK — At least for one married couple, the appropriate vow may have been till jail do we part.

The couple was arrested after being accused of attempting to shoplift nearly $1,000 of merchandise from the Wal-Mart in Avon Park.

Jennifer L. Barton, 29, and John Barton, 32, 714 Ruth St., were arrested by the Highlands County Sheriff’s Office and charged with retail theft in coordination with others.

A security guard reported he saw the couple load a shopping cart with electronics items, the report said.

As the couple headed toward the front of the store, John Barton told Jennifer Barton to “go,” and she headed out the store without purchasing the items, the report said.

A Difficult Subject- Employee Theft

May 6, 2014 by
As a business owner or manager you have probably seen your share of employee theft over the years. It is a difficult problem in many ways. Not only do you suffer the financial losses caused by employee theft, but you can also suffer the emotional loss caused by this employee’s betrayal.
Over time, you might be more desensitized by these emotional losses and can begin to develop a general distrust for most employees. This makes it hard to be a good leader and a good listener. If you are not approachable, your current employees may not feel comfortable coming to you with information about an employee theft situation.
Let’s face it; your employees are probably going to be more aware of this theft before you are.
It might be time to participate in some loss prevention seminars. They will help you come to terms with your store’s past theft issues. They will also be able to help broach the subject with your current employees. Loss prevention workshops are designed to open up the lines of communication.
You might not be jaded from past experiences and still not be viewed as approachable. Sometimes, employees who are privy to theft happening in the store simply do not know what to do with the information. By providing a new outlet for communication, you have a better chance of eliminating or responding quickly to these instances of theft.

Don’t Know What You’ve Got Until It’s Gone

May 6, 2014 by Leave a Comment

theft (11)Inventory accuracy is absolutely critical to maximizing sales and customer satisfaction. In the most basic of terms, if you do not have product, you cannot make a sale. If you cannot make a sale, your customer will be dissatisfied and will go somewhere else to make their purchase.

There are two kinds of inventory tracking and processes: Periodic and perpetual inventories.

A periodic inventory is one where a business takes an inventory on an infrequent basis. It might be every six months, or even annually. At that time, all of the current merchandise/ assets are accounted for. Inventory numbers are then based off of the previous inventory.

Thanks to the accessibility of computers and other digital tools, perpetual inventory is more common. It tracks each movement that the inventory takes from receipt of the product, to sales, to returns. This allows for much more immediate reaction to stock levels, customer satisfaction, and theft concerns. Inventory levels can be determined immediately through a spot check called a cycle count.

A cycle count is an informal count of a specific item of merchandise. Say you are gearing up for a sale and want to know if you have enough merchandise to satisfy the demands of the sale. You can look at your perpetual inventory system and see “item X” should have a quantity of 10. You go throughout the store and look to find all 10 pieces of inventory. After looking on the sales floor, stock rooms, and wrap stands you find all 10 pieces and know your inventory on hand is accurate.

If you can only find 5 of the item, you would start by ordering in more of the product to satisfy your upcoming sale. Next you would want to investigate why you are missing 5 of “item X”. Did they break and get thrown into the garbage unaccounted for? Were they stolen? Is this a shipment from a vendor that is in transit? Did the vendor make a paperwork error and over charge you?

By upgrading your inventory systems to a perpetual inventory you can react faster to such shortages and then quickly resolve the losses.  You still want to have a periodic inventory, at a minimum once a year, to ensure your inventory is accurate. Cycle counts are good to spot check items, but simply cannot be done for the thousands of SKUs that most businesses carry on any given day.

Out Of Your League

May 6, 2014 by Leave a Comment

theft (2)A Professional Shoplifter is the hardest category of thief to thwart. The professional shoplifter is well equipped and has the ability to create a devastating financial loss in a single incident of theft. After evaluating how the professional works, some solutions will be provided.

The professional shoplifter is one that is seen as looking to steal specifically to make a profit off of their heist. These are the criminals that do this for a living. It is a full time job for them, so don’t even think you can wait them out to make them go away. Professionals are often well connected. They are frequently part of a larger organized crime ring. That means that the person inside your store is simply an employee of a larger organization of criminals.

These thieves can be addicts or homeless people paid to do the dirty work of stealing. It can also be people who have been doing this for years and have no fear of getting caught. Either way, each theft is big, quick, and the merchandise is selected ahead of time since they know how or where they will sell it later.

Professionals typically commit, grab and run. It is a simple but effective scheme. The shoplifter loads up bags or carts of merchandise. They linger by exit doors and wait till the coast is clear. Then they run out the door, into a getaway car that is waiting for them.

Professionals will also use tools like foil lined bags to thwart EAS devices and prevent the alarms from registering. They might use other boosters such as secret linings inside a coat or other clothing to hide large quantities of merchandise.

Beyond the industry standard of EAS tags and labels there are a few other ways to reduce your losses if you have a group of professional thieves targeting you. One way is to determine if there is a pattern to which items you are loosing. If every time you get a shipment of toothpaste in, you loose the entire shelf’s worth, the obvious solution is to limit the quantity of toothpaste you put on the shelf at any time. It sends a message that you are aware of the theft and are working out plans to mitigate them.

The next way to stop professionals is through constant vigilance. Talk to neighboring retailers and local law enforcement to develop a community network. Share ideas and insight to bring an end to the theft. In the mean time find ways to identify your product. You can use EAS labels that have your store’s name and contact information on them. You can even take a marker and write your store number or another indicator next to the bar code. Even something as simple as an “X” will push the thieves down the road to unidentifiable merchandise.

Call us today at 1-770-426-0547 if you would like help fixing your loss Prevention problems.

Is the cost associated with a loss prevention system worth it?  Read the articles below to find more about how installing a loss prevention system in your store is the right move to increase your profitability.

Family Dollar rolls out Checkpoint Systems EAS across its chain

Family Dollar is rolling out Checkpoint Systems’ EAS loss prevention technology across its 8,000 stores in the US. It is claimed to be is one of the fastest roll-outs in the industry, with 3,500 installations already completed and 120 more occurring each week.

Shoplifting suspect had a cart full of baby formula

ROCHESTER — Police on Thursday arrested a man they say tried to steal more than $1,000 worth of baby formula from Walmart in Rochester.
Dillon Johnson, 19, of 640 Poverty Pond Road, Hill, N.H., is being held in jail after being charged with felony willful concealment, after trying to run out of Walmart Thursday with a shopping cart full of baby formula, said Police Capt. Paul Toussaint.

He said Johnson’s charge is a felony because of the value of merchandise he attempted to steal from the store.

Baby formula, said Toussaint, is a frequent item shoplifters steal. He said that sometimes baby formula is used for cutting drugs. In most of the Rochester incidents, suspects steal baby formula because it’s so expensive, Toussaint said, with thieves reselling the stolen formula at lower prices.

Police got involved in the incident after a member of Walmart’s loss prevention department reported the theft, according to a police affidavit. The sworn affidavit states that Walmart employees tried to stop Johnson as he was running out of the store with the cart full of baby formula. Police reviewed the surveillance tape at the store before arresting Johnson.

‘Bling Ring’ Tumblr Shoplifting Community Gets Rocked By Outsiders

They go by names like Lift Witch, Klepto Princess and Lifting for Survival. They offer up weirdly worded disclaimers about how what they’re doing is “fake” or that their stories are “fiction” or “roleplay.” They repost and celebrate each other’s victories. They are the young women who spend their time on Tumblr talking about things that they’ve stolen.

On Wednesday, Tumblr user We Unhallowed posted a list of the sites she called “Tumblr’s Bling Ring,” throwing a delicate community of shoplifters into disarray. Earlier that day she’d written, “Have stumbled upon a circle of teenage shoplifters on Tumblr. It’s hilarious. They post pictures of everything they steal and call them ‘hauls.'”

Since posting her list, a few Tumblrs on it have been disabled, but not before their comments were endlessly reblogged by fellow members of the community. Like New Lifterr, who wrote, “i just realized that the post called us tumblrs bling ring and i’m even more flattered. i’m famous. for free.”
