Laundry bottles are hard plastic, curved and relatively heavy. Finding a plausible solution to prevent shoplifting has not been easy for the general merchandise retailers who carry these items. That makes it that much easier for shoplifters, mostly within the drug trade, to abscond with these expensive and largely unprotected detergent bottles.
EAS labels can be peeled off the outside, and would damage the contents if affixed to the inside. Straight pin EAS tags have nowhere to go, and puncturing the bottle would cause it to leak- spoiling the soap inside.
There are, however, some retail anti theft devices, which are, designed more for clothing security than detergent but still work surprisingly well.
Alpha 2 Alarm and the Alpha 3 Alarm Alpha Security branded Cable Loks have a secured loop that wraps around the bottle’s handle.
The Cable Loks can utilize either the Alpha 2 Alarm or the Alpha 3 Alarm technology. Store employees will have a much better chance of being aware of the thefts before the damage can be done. The Alpha 2 Alarm will sound as the lock is tampered with. If a shoplifter doesn’t tamper with the lock to defeat it before they leave the store, the Cable Lok will stay armed. If they pass by the exit door towers and the Lok has an Alpha 3 Alarm, the lock will emit an audible alarm for up to ten minutes allowing the shoplifter to be noticed and the merchandise to be followed.
