Shoplifting on the Rise as Economy Slows - Help Stop Theft from Happening to You

According to an article in USA Today, shoplifting is on the rise. Apparently people are feeling the effects of a slow economy enough to pad their pockets with stolen goods. Unfortunately, we all pay for the pocket stuffing. Most stores, especially retailers aren’t able to eat the loss. To make up the difference, stores are marking up prices and keeping less people on staff. As I’m sure you’ve caught on, this only fuels the flame. And in this case, I don’t think a bucket of water will do the trick.

But hope is not lost. I have suggestions (completely un-water related). You may consider employing Mr. Security Mirrors and Mrs. Steel Gates (they’re usually okay with receiving a onetime payment; hourly salaries seem to confuse them).

Although security mirrors may not stop all theft, they should, at the least, deter the “hesitant, scared-to-get-caught” crook. And security gates will help protect facilities from burglars looking to steel after hours.

Our Next Day site carries See All Full Dome, Half Dome, Round 160° and Portable Security Mirrors. Also check out steel folding gates. They can be ordered by size, depending on the size of the entryway you’re looking to secure. Order your (Mr. and Mrs.) Theft Deterrents today!
