Where is My Crystal Ball When I Really Need It? – Retail theft Prevention

How do you stop shoplifting when the shoplifter doesn’t know that they are going to steal?  When opportunists are presented with the opportunity to steal they decide to take it. Well the reality is that retail theft prevention really can stop shoplifting by opportunist shoplifters.

I guess I should start at the beginning. You don’t have to be a mind reader or have a crystal ball. Opportunist shoplifters are shoplifters that don’t plan on coming into your store to steal. They are presented with a unique opportunity to steal an item or cause another form of loss to your store.

Have you ever given a cashier a bill and they gave you the wrong change back? I’ll bet you complained, that is if they shorted you money. What about if they gave you more back than they should have? Most of us still correct the error. What if you don’t realize the error until you get home? Did you drive all the way back to the store to give back the extra five or ten dollars? Chances are most of us wouldn’t. We would find a way to rationalize it in our heads that we are ok to keep the money.

That’s what opportunists do. They take an opportunity that they didn’t look for and cause a loss to you while rationalizing it in their minds. Checkpoint systems is designed for retail theft prevention keeping your customers in check and eliminating the opportunity. These shoplifters won’t go out of their way to defeat any anti-shoplifting devices.
