OK! In my first blog I told you that I would point out the different ways professional thieves go about working their craft when in a grocery store since the introduction of Reusable Shopping bags.
One effective method that they use is to: Fill up a shopping cart with high end stuff such as :
Expensive cuts of meat(lots of it), followed by a good variety of seafood such as bags of shrimp, frozen Alaskan king crab and frozen lobster tails. Since most grocery stores now carry other non food items it has become easy for the thief to grab huge boxes of things such as fans or air conditioners, or better yet large boxes that contain pots and pans. These large items cover up their items that are underneath. Next thing they do is cover up as much of it with beach towels or a tablecloth. Most people would not even glance twice at a cart that looks like this.
Most petty shoplifters I have come across will take small stuff such as vitamin bottles, a small pack of meat, condoms or something like nail polish. NOT THE PROS....
These pros will sometimes leave the cart parked in an inconspicuous spot then leave.
A little while later their partner in crime comes into the store takes that cart and simply walks out. No reusable shopping bag! Have you paid for your items? No one asks...
What do you think of all this? I know that personally I'm tired of paying for their gain.
