The Opportunistic Criminal

Using anti-shoplifting devices such as EAS hard tags and soft tags has really done a great deal to cut down on shoplifting from the opportunist or armature shoplifter in my store. The typical shoplifter is someone that shops at the store regularly, loves the merchandise, but just can’t afford to buy it all the time. These people steal because it is easy and accessible. When you take those things away by implementing retail security or anti-theft devices, you eliminate the probability of armature theft taking place. When you remove the opportunity, you reduce the theft.

 Even when you have an ambitious shoplifter, they tend to be easier to identify when you have anti-theft devices in place. Working in retail security for as long as I have, I’ve seen it all. Recently I had a shoplifter that selected a few shirts that were protected with some hard tags. I didn’t pick up on the person until they were in the corner of our shoe department using the edge of the shelf to try and pry the hard tag off of the items. They were able to wrestle a few of them off the merchandise, but it took them quite some time and a lot of determination. I had several sales floor employees contacting me and letting me know what was going on as it was so obvious. By the time they had removed the tags and concealed the merchandise I was able to contact the police and have them ready to apprehend before they even left the building.
