What will you lose? – Loss Prevention Workshop

April 1, 2014 by Staff Editor Leave a Comment

When you have employee theft happening in your store, do you know what you will lose? There is more to those cases than just a simple financial loss.

If an employee is taking cash, you obviously will have a very specific dollar loss that you will be looking at. What about the other losses? How about your time? How much time will you loose researching those losses? Do you know how to track your cash shortages and not only figure out which employee (or employees) is stealing from you? Will that employee theft case hold up in court or will it be dismissed leaving you open to further litigation?

What about your lost productivity during the inventory replenishment process? If you have a merchandise theft case, you are increasing the amount of time you are spending replenishing your inventory through additional orders and time spent physically restocking the shelves. Can you track those losses? Can you determine where our merchandise is being lost from and how to solve it?

Taking part in a loss prevention workshop will help you with those questions. You will benefit from other’s experience in tracking and building theft cases. The loss prevention workshop will help give you a step-by-step process to guide you through the investigation and give you pointers on things you might have overlooked otherwise.

Shoplifting Prevention And Technology

March 20, 2014 by Staff Editor Leave a Comment

There are countless instances about people shoplifting; we see them in the news daily. According to the National Association for Shoplifting prevention 1 out of 3 shoplifters are “at risk” of shoplifting again even after getting caught. And although the association declares that shoplifters are individuals struggling with personal conflicts and needs, we rarely see those issues being addressed by authorities. Regardless, shoplifting prevention is a matter of extreme importance in the retail industry, and businesses have to address the issues and the consequences shoplifting causes.

The Future of Retail: 6 Ways the Cloud Will Reinvent the Sales Floor

The scope of change in the retail industry is stunning. New web-based, cloud-hosted software-as-a-service solutions are making data available in real time and are poised to unite the digital and physical retail environments, disrupting the retail landscape. Here’s how the needle is moving:

1. Real-time data from the sales floor. Real-time data is available across all channels and will fuel decision-making throughout the retail enterprise — from the C-Suite to the sales floor. Retail management teams can see sales trends develop as they are developing. They can see traffic patterns in real time and be able to see conversion rates at the product level. For example, for apparel retailers — imagine how powerful it would be to know which products are being brought into fitting rooms and then which are converted to sales.

2. Real time data on the sales floor. Perhaps the most powerful impact will be on the sales floor. Retail sales is a difficult job, and it can become tedious and boring. Sales associates can become disengaged, feel isolated and disinterested. As a result, customer service suffers. Making real-time data available on the store floor can change the game.

Shoplifting suspect rescued after falling down ravine

ELYRIA — A suspected shoplifter who led police on a chase Saturday night fell down a steep Ford Road ravine and had to be rescued by firefighters.

The man, arrested by police after being lifted about 200 feet up the steep hill in a Stokes basket, suffered a possible broken ankle, said Assistant Elyria Fire Chief James Cawley.

“We splinted him, but he was conscious and talking,” Cawley said.

The suspect, whose name was not available at press time, reportedly took items from the Radio Shack store in the Midway Crossings shopping area off West River Road, said Elyria police Capt. Chris Costantino.

After leaving the store about 7:30 p.m. without paying for merchandise, the man ran toward Ford Road, where he apparently fell down a hillside while being chased by police, Lorain County Metro Parks rangers and Lorain County sheriff’s deputies, Costantino said.

Jim Ziemnik, executive director of metro parks, said rangers told him the man jumped a fence near a mattress store where Midway Boulevard and Ford Road come together.

“He went down the incline,” Ziemnik said. “That’s a steep hill.”

This woman received life in prison for shoplifting

What do you think is a fair punishment for someone who has been caught shoplifting 29 times? Community service, jail time, hands cut off, forcing them to do all their shoplifting at Old Navy?

I ask because the Oklahoma woman pictured above – Cecilia Rodriguez – was sentenced to life in prison for shoplifting. She was caught doing the act 29 times. Her appeal of the sentence was recently denied by the U.S. Supreme Court. That really sucks for her… and for us as taxpayers. We now have to spend $18,000 per year to imprison her because she’s a bad thief. Hopefully she’ll get some thieving tips from fellow inmates while in jail.

The U.S. Supreme Court declined on Monday to review the case of an Oklahoma City woman who received a life sentence in 2009 for shoplifting.

Without comment, the court rejected the appeal of Cecilia Cathleen Rodriguez, whose life sentence was imposed by an Oklahoma County judge because of a long list of previous convictions.

Employee Theft And Tips To Prevent it

March 19, 2014 by Staff Editor Leave a Comment

According to a post by Hirepowerassociates.com, the U. S Chamber of Commerce estimates that 75% of all employees steal at least once, and half of those employees continue to steal repeatedly. The amount each employee steals varies and the reasons they give for stealing are as varied as they come, but the truth is billions of dollars are lost annually due to employee theft and the repercussions they carry do not stop at the business from where they steal, the local economy is hurt, employees and consumers loose income and benefits the business cannot afford to give because of the loss they are experiencing.

5 Ways To Keep Employees Happy And Engaged In Tough Times

You can’t fool your employees–they know when times are tough. But if you show you care, they’ll stay happier longer.

With the economy at a low point, many people feel trapped in their jobs, seeing dim prospects for better opportunities outside their present situation. On the surface, this may seem like an ideal situation for companies, bringing down turnover costs. But there’s a hidden underside that’s not so positive.

When the economy is in high gear, unhappy employees can easily move on. Now they stay in their jobs, bringing down the productivity level and morale of the organization. To counter this and generate more buy-in from your staff, here are five things you can do.
1. Be consistent and open in your communication
If people are kept in the dark about what’s going on, they will make up their own version and it won’t be a positive one. Instead of avoiding, minimizing or trying to hide a negative situation, tell it like it is. Trust that staff will understand and appreciate being informed. Not disclosing will only breed mistrust, suspicion, and fear.

Candles, heroin and theft a bad combination: Mayfield Heights Police Blotter

MAYFIELD HEIGHTS

Theft, SOM Center Road:

Officers responded to CVS March 2 after an employee said a woman had just left the store after stealing merchandise. The suspect was located in front of Hillcrest Hospital carrying a bag of items from CVS and arrested on suspicion of the theft, valued at $72.46. An officer, working off-duty at the hospital, said the Cleveland Heights woman, 37, had just been discharged after she had been taken to the hospital by the South Euclid fire department after she was arrested for shoplifting at Giant Eagle in that city. While at the station, the woman told an officer she had stolen candles from the store because she needed them to thwart off evil spirits. She also said she had ingested heroin while at the hospital and had a used syringe stuffed up her rectum. She was subsequently returned to the hospital for a psychological evaluation.

Burglary, Mayfair Boulevard:

A boy, 17, said Feb. 27 when he returned home after school he found two back doors to his and his father’s apartment kicked in but nothing was missing from inside the home. He said drawers in his bedroom were open and it appeared someone had gone through them.

Shoplifting suspicions lead to child porn charges in Hallandale Beach

A routine shoplifting arrest evolved into a child pornography case, with the suspect in jail on a whopping $610,000 bond, Broward jail records show.

Nicholas Coffey told police he downloaded the porn using public Wi-Fi at a fast-food restaurant, according to Hallandale Beach Police.

Detectives discovered the images Saturday after Coffey, 24, was stopped as he walked out of Wal-Mart, 2551 E. Hallandale Beach Blvd., with a backpack full of belongings and stolen items, according to the arrest report.

The store’s loss prevention officer watched Coffey push a shopping cart full of merchandise into the Home Goods department, where he loaded the items into a backpack he had gotten from the Sporting Goods department, the report stated.

When Coffey walked past the checkout and out the door, he was taken into custody and held in the security office until police arrived. Officers found an estimated $9,820 worth of electronics in the backpack, including a Garmin GPS, a Samsung Galaxy tablet and an iPod, investigators said.

Do I Have To? – Loss Prevention Training

March 19, 2014 by Staff Editor

There is only one question that really matters. From the time we are young to the time we are adults, we only want to know one thing- Do we have to do something? This time the question is- do we have to have Loss Prevention Training?

I have always found that having an honest and candid answer is the best way to approach any question. In this case, the answer is NO. No you do not need to have loss prevention training in your stores or businesses.

Many business operate just fine without ever having attended a loss prevention workshop, or having any sort of loss prevention policies in place. If you are even asking the question though, be honest and ask yourself why you are wondering about loss prevention.

Chances are you are looking for ways to reduce some of the costs you are experiencing. It could be as complicated as having an increase in shoplifting or employee theft. It could also be as simple as wanting to be proactive in eliminating operational errors and decreasing accident frequencies.

What ever your reasons, the best resource you have is to attend a loss prevention seminar. The information you get from a seminar can start you and your employees on the road to increased store profitability.

Shoplifting Prevention

March 12, 2014 by Staff Editor Leave a Comment

According to the National Association for Shoplifting Prevention, getting caught while shoplifting is 1 in 48, and calling the authorities to turn the shoplifter into their hands is1 in 2. The costs associated with prosecuting the shoplifters have been one of the major reasons why retail and small business stores opt out about pressing charges, or taking any more measures against them. A “Don’t come back to our store” is not a deterrent to the shoplifter and the likelihood of his returning to your store again or another similar one is highly probable.

Special skirt allegedly aided family in multi-state shoplifting spree

Three family members were arrested in connection with a shop lifting and fencing spree that spanned nearly a decade, at least three states and valued $7.1 million dollars.

58-year-old Branko Bogdanov and his 52-year-old wife Lela and their 34-year-old daughter Julia of Northbrook have been charged with interstate transportation of stolen property, according U.S. Attorney’s Office.

According to a statement, the Bogdanovs’ “shopping odyssey” began on February 17 in Oklahoma, continued in to Texas and ended in Louisiana on February 20^th. They were arrested Tuesday in the Northbrook home.

According to the complaint filed, the family targeted Barnes and Noble and Toys R Us stealing items that included American Girl dolls, Furbies and Legos. The complaint states that Lela wore a long skirt “that appeared larger and fuller when she exited” the stores than when she entered. The skirt was seized as part of the investigation and continued a lining “capable of containing multiple rectangular objects.”

The family worked with another person who acted as their “fence” and sold the items on eBay, the statement said. Over the last decade, their merchandise had a “retail value of $7.1 million and sold for a combined total of $4.2 million,” according to the statement.

It’s All In The Approach- Loss Prevention Seminars

March 11, 2014 by Staff Editor

Let’s face it; your employees are probably going to be more aware of employee theft before you are. If you are not approachable, your current employees may not feel comfortable coming to you with information about a theft situation.

You don’t have to be jaded from past experiences to not be viewed as approachable. Sometimes, employees who are privy to employee 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.

It might be time to participate in some loss prevention training. They will help you come to terms with your past theft issues. They will also be able to help broach the subject with your current employees. Loss prevention seminars are designed to open up the lines of communication.

Loss prevention seminars give you ideas of how to start talking to your employees about employee theft. Just because you have seen employees steal during your career, doesn’t mean your other employees have to. Many are in disbelief that theft actually happens, much less believing that it can happen in their store by people they know.

Once these employees know that can happen even in their store, they will now know what to do with that information.

Family Accused of Selling $4.2M Worth of Shoplifted Goods

Three members of a suburban Chicago family are accused of stealing $7 million in merchandise during a decade-long “shopping odyssey” and later selling the items on eBay.

Branko Bogdanov, 58; his wife Lela Bogdanov, 52; and their daughter Julia Bogdanov, 34, were arrested by Secret Service agents Tuesday afternoon at a home on Weller Lane in suburban Northbrook, according to a criminal complaint filed in U.S. District Court.

The trio is accused in a recent string of thefts that began on Feb. 17 in Oklahoma, continued two days later at malls in Texas and wound through Louisiana Feb. 20. But officials allege the three are connected to similar instances that have occurred over the last 10 years, and have sold stolen property on eBay for a combined total of $4.2 million.

According to the complaint, loss prevention executives at Barnes and Noble, Inc. and Toys R Us, Inc. recently told Secret Service agents that their stores were experiencing a huge loss in merchandise, including American Girl dolls, Furby robotic toys, Lego blocks, baby monitors and baby carriers.

Teen Shoplifting: Minor Thrills, Major Punishment

Teenagers are fearless – they are more likely than any age group to drink and drive, try drugs, make radical changes to their style, or commit to something as permanent as a tattoo in a heartbeat. In their quest for adventure and adrenaline, they seem to stop at nothing. But recent studies indicate they are in no way less capable than adults to make rational decisions and acknowledge danger. So why are they behaving in such a reckless and irrational way?

A growing body of research suggests that teens are more sensitive to rewarding feedback than grownups, and that their brains can actually feel more pleasure from social acceptance than adult brains. As a result of peer pressure, teens may appear more confident in social interactions or feel motivated to study harder. At the same time, their peers can influence them to commit violent and even criminal acts, among which the most pressing is shoplifting.

When someone is caught stealing from a retailer, the National Association for Shoplifting Prevention (NASP) is called in to handle court-mandated educational programs for the guilty party. Since the beginning of the housing market crash and the recession, the need for NASP programs has increased by 37%. In response to social anxiety and peer pressure, teens are swiping items from stores at alarming rates, and they’re not looking back.

Employee Theft

March 4, 2014 by Staff Editor Leave a Comment

The annual amount stolen from businesses by their employees is astounding. According to some reports the average amount of stolen goods by employees is around $175,000 and more than half of those crimes are committed by males. Small businesses are the hardest hit by these crimes, as profits trickled and they are left looking at losses they cannot afford to have.

Employee theft rarely reported by small business owners, poll suggests

More than half of small business owners in the country have experienced theft performed by one of their own workers. However, whether out of compassion for the wrongdoer or feeling the misconduct not being serious enough to alert the proper authorities, few wind up reporting the crime, according to a newly released survey.

Jay Kennedy, a recent MBA graduate from the University of Cincinnati’s Carl H. Linder College of Business, queried approximately 315 small business owners in Ohio’s third-largest city, asking entrepreneurs if they’d ever had someone working for them that stole money. Nearly 66% of respondents said that they had. However, when asked if they reported the crime, only 16% said that this was something they did to settle the matter.

“It’s important to look at this topic because such theft represents a loss to the tax base and would also seem to put such businesses at risk, and so, put our overall economy at risk,” said Kennedy. “After all, small businesses with 100 or fewer employees comprise 97% of all businesses in the United States.”

Approximately one-third of all bankruptcies that occur among small businesses stem from employee theft, according to the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, the report noted.

Understanding Why Employees Steal … And How to Stop It

Employee theft is a particularly big problem for small businesses.

Many small businesses have a serious problem on their hands: employees with sticky fingers.

A recent study by University of Cincinnati doctoral student Jay Kennedy revealed that 64 percent of small businesses have lost items to employee theft. Overall, the stolen goods ranged from cash to products sold by the business to tools and equipment.

Business News Daily recently reported on Kennedy’s findings, which highlighted that most employee thefts go unreported to police. Here, we follow up with Kennedy in an email interview to learn more about employee theft and why small businesses are susceptible to it.

Why do you think employee theft is so prevalent in small businesses?

I think it is a matter of opportunity. Small businesses have fewer employees, and these employees may have a wide range of responsibilities within the business. With this responsibility comes knowledge of oversight mechanisms in place at the business, as well as knowledge of suitable targets for theft. An employee who becomes motivated to engage in theft has access, knowledge of guardianship mechanisms and knowledge of the target that allow them to be more successful in their crimes than non-employee offenders would be.

Employee Theft: Why Most Small Businesses Don’t Report It

Most small business owners don’t get the police involved when they catch an employee stealing from them, new research finds.

While 64 percent of small businesses have experienced employee theft, only 16 percent of those reported the incident to police, the study found.

“It’s important to look at this topic because such theft represents a loss to the tax base and would also seem to put such businesses at risk, and so, put our overall economy at risk,” said study author Jay Kennedy, a University of Cincinnati criminal justice doctoral student.

Kennedy found four main reasons why employers are hesitant to get the authorities involved.

No real victims: The business owner does not see the victimization as serious enough to warrant his or her time and trouble beyond firing the employee.
Attorney advises against it: The business owner seeks counsel from a third party, usually his or her attorney, who often advises that the employer’s costs in time and effort for a successful prosecution outweigh any likely benefits to the employer. For instance, one company went through all the time and steps for a successful prosecution of an employee who stole $200,000. “The employee was convicted, put on probation and ordered to make restitution at the rate of $50 per month,” Kennedy said. “In essence, the small business will never recoup the stolen funds.”

The Two-Headed Monster: Employee Theft and Shoplifting

March 4, 2014 by Staff Editor Leave a Comment

The big news is that in 2013 the rate of retail shrinkage continued to grow because of the continuing economic crisis.

Employee theft and shoplifting still take the largest bites out of a retailer’s profits out of all categories of shrink, combining for 66 percent of the total.

Comparing the two, employee theft and shoplifting, most people would expect shoplifting to lead the way. Statistics from the Global Retail Theft Barometer for the United States, shoplifting does win the theft race at 34 percent of the total to 32 percent for employee theft.

In frequency of instances, there are far more shoplifters than employee thieves, but the average amount stolen by employees is estimated to be 6 to 10 times the average amount taken by shoplifters.

The crime of employee theft should be easier than shoplifting for the retailer to control: After all, the employee is a known quantity (why would any business owner hire a thief?) and his/her actions are apt to be examined at any time by management or storeowners. Yet, employee theft continues.

If there are any recurrent themes in employee theft cases, they are these: The employee began stealing on a small scale and increased both frequency and amounts as he/she became bolder; and the employee is generally in a position some of degree of trust and is not audited or checked up on regularly.

No retailer should assume that he knows his employees well enough to say, “Sally Salesclerk will never steal from me. She’s my most trusted employee.” A statement like that will only lead to disappointment. The Retailers who make these types of statements are naïve to the retail environment. There is always a threat of both employee theft and shoplifting. What separates good leaders from bad, is awareness and action.

If you are not aware of how and why employees steal you will never see it unless it hits you in the face. The very nature of employee theft is behind the scenes. So unless you know what to look for such as specific employee behavior, actions and attitudes, you will have lost a lot of money and merchandise and it will be too late. We can provide you with training that is both easy and affordable. Arm yourself with these techniques and you will win the employee theft battle.

When it comes to Shoplifters the best attack is to make their life difficult enough that they go down the street to someone else who is not prepared. This is not that difficult to achieve. Shoplifters by their very nature require anonymity and brief privacy to do their “job”. Customer service will take care of much of this. However, as retailers we cannot provide enough customer coverage as we would like because of payroll limitations. And we cannot be everywhere at one time. Camera systems are passive and are not a threat to the shoplifter and they know it. That is where a Checkpoint System comes in. A Checkpoint System is working 24/7, no holidays, sick time, breaks…

Regardless of the shrink figures, no retailer should relax his standards. Continue to educate staff members on shoplifting prevention, install a Checkpoint System and have training and controls in place to eliminate the possibility of employee theft. Then react quickly when it is suspected. We can teach you how!

Take steps now to avoid having profits eaten by the Two-Headed Profit Monsters, employee theft and shoplifting, and reduce your shrinkage losses. Call us today at 1-770-426-0547 or email us at [email protected] and fix the problem once and for all.

Keep Your Resolution- Loss Prevention Seminars

February 26, 2014 by Staff Editor

One of the reasons why New Year’s resolutions commonly fail within the first three weeks is because these goals are so vague that it is nearly impossible to quantify or track any potential progress that has been made. This makes them simply unattainable because there is no way to track your progress. When you make a goal to attend Loss Prevention Seminars, you are setting a quantifiable goal.

By determining the who, what, when, where and why, you are no providing specific data that can be validated – a way to measure you and your goal’s success. Which class will you take? When and where is it being held? Who in your business will attend? What should you expect to see as a result?

Now you have a specific date with specific attendees in mind. You are now able to achieve your goal because you kept it simple, measurable and therefore attainable. You can also measure your success by measuring the impact that the Loss Prevention Workshop has on your business and your store.

You can compare year-to-year shrink results to see if there is a decrease. You can also take the knowledge that was gained from the Loss Prevention Training and implement a set number of those ideas. If you incorporate those ideas and tactics, your overall losses should diminish.
