US store owners are worried about shoplifting - what can be done?

1. Shoplifting is a serious issue and I'm sure it isn't getting to be less of one

As to the LA statistics, could very well be that the crimes are unreported as not every incident results in a police officer be dispatched. A few items taken here and there that maybe aren’t noticed for an hour or so and what good is it to call the cops? A major smash and grab gets headlines and police presence, an shelf of deodorant at the local Walgreens cleared out will not as the thief is long gone.

Nevertheless it is all shrink and it costs us all in higher prices to replace the goods, increased security measures, lost businesses and lost jobs.
