Sad that stores have to to that but with $50 billion in loses, they have
to take precautions. Even if Dave is insulted.

Because of the size of the store and the number of
store locations with similar layouts, Canadian Tire
was looking for a solution to their ongoing problem
with repeat offenders. Once criminals find a weakness
in store security and are able to take advantage
of it, they often brazenly return to the store to steal
again, or try the same tactic at a different location


When you're a company as big as Wal-mart , everything about you is huge,
even your losses from shoplifting. The retailing giant says that it
loses about $3 billion every year from theft, or 1% of its $300 billion
in revenue, Reuters reports.
