WRAPPED UP WITH SPIDER WRAPS
What a rough few weeks this has been…. I really love when I get to come out of my office and get to work out on the floor. Usually, I’m stuck behind a desk and computer while my teams get to have all the fun. I’m very lucky to work with such a motivated team. It is truly amazing just how many shoplifters we catch each and every week. I am also thankful for the almighty Alpha Spider Wrap. If not for these tools, I may lose thousands this year.
Of course, if you weren’t living under a rock, you’d know that this season’s hottest new tech gadgets were those so called hoverboards. While they don’t really fly, they sure as heck flew off our shelves! With a price point of nearly $500, I was truly surprised at how well these items sold for us. On the other side of the spectrum, we had a duo try to make off with several of them. It’s a good thing we knew a thing or two about how to prevent shoplifting.
I came in one morning and noticed that our display was missing 4 hover boards. Awesome, I thought. That’s $2k in sales! Woohoo!! So I make it to my desk and start running my daily reports and I notice that I didn’t see a sale for those items the day before. Not good… Not good at all. A bit of camera research and a pot of coffee later, I found our culprits. Male and female waltz into the store, place 4 hover boards in a shopping cart and stroll out of the front door. No one batted an eye. I was beyond mad. I pay two people to verify receipts at the door; their primary job is to prevent shoplifting by being a physical presence. You obviously can’t do that if you’re too busy playing on your phone.
I sent out an area bolo with pictures of the suspects and made a felony theft report with my local police department. By that afternoon, several stores had contacted me as they also had been victimized by this pair. Altogether, they hit 5 stores, stealing 4 per store in a single day. That’s $10,000 in one day. ONE DAY! Time for some serious soul searching. Time, my friends, to use some spider wraps.
Within an hour or so, I had all the stores in the district use some left over spider wraps to protect these products. Hindsight is 2020 I suppose…. I then began running down any and all leads I could develop. I had to catch them before they started selling the product and I would be out that money for good. Looking at the stores they targeted, I noticed a distinct pattern that they stuck to. If I were to surmise, based on that pattern, I knew exactly where they were headed to next. I jumped in the car and high-tailed it across town. I knew that all the EAS devices in the world wouldn’t prevent shoplifting; I would have to physically stop these two; with a little help.
I was right on the money. About two hours after I arrived at the store, the lovely couple arrived. They quickly found the hover board display and began loading them up, as they did the previous day. The female noticed the spider wraps, but it wasn’t going to stop them. 4 more in the buggy and out the door they went. I was ready though…
Once outside the store, they figured they were home free; with no idea that I, along with several police officers were watching; waiting for them to get to their vehicle. They quickly loaded the hover boards into the back seat and jumped in. They went nowhere. Before they could blink an eye, they were surrounded by law enforcement. Once detained, officers opened the trunk and found every hover board that had been stolen. I was lucky enough to recover my product and send these two up the river for a few weeks.

Prevent shoplifting-3
Are Your Alpha Hard Tags Used To Their Full Potential?
Retailers are constantly protecting their stores against theft and fraud by focusing much of their resources to prevent shoplifting. When I look back on my many years in the Loss Prevention field, I can reflect on how much of our retail anti-theft devices were geared to stop shoplifters. What I don’t see enough of is a focus on preventing internal theft. Here is what I mean; when you enter most national chain stores today you walk through electronic article surveillance antennas. You may look up and see yourself on a public view camera and monitor as you stop to pick up a shopping cart. It is possible you are greeted or at least acknowledged by some type of door greeter or security personnel. As you shop you find that many items are protected with anti-theft devices such as Alpha Spider Wrap and other Alpha hard tags. Even when an employee greets you in a department it is, in part, to make potential shoplifters aware that someone knows they are in the area. While retail anti-theft devices may prevent some internal theft, most retailers use them to prevent shoplifting. So, even if all of a store’s shoplifting prevention strategies work perfectly and all shoplifting is eliminated, only about 40 – 45 percent of losses are stopped. That store will still experience approximately 45 percent of the remaining shortage due to internal theft. My point is I don’t believe stores use their protection devices to their maximum effectiveness.
I cannot recall in my experiences ever seeing loading dock doors or vendor entrance doors protected with electronic article surveillance antennas. Rarely have I seen employee entrances protected with EAS antennas. I have also seen stores where complacency has set in and when an employee is exiting through the main doors where EAS antennas are located, if the alarm goes off, no one pays too much attention. My concern with backroom areas and vendor doors is that your vendors and employees go in and out and if someone is dishonest, it is the perfect location to take out merchandise that is protected with retail anti-theft devices. An employee can leave stolen merchandise outside and have it picked up by a friend. A vendor could be taking out boxes and have merchandise hidden. How thorough are your loading dock procedures in checking on vendors when they leave your store?
Alpha hard tags are available to protect nearly any type of merchandise. Alpha has retail anti-theft devices for clothing, electronics, health and beauty products, eyewear and even the hang tags for peg hook merchandise. Many of these devices are tamper proof and all will work with a store EAS system. They have little value to a store if there is no EAS antenna at a door to sound an alarm if a device is walked out through that door. This is where I believe stores do themselves a disservice by failing to protect even the backdoors and employee entrances with EAS antennas. If almost half of your store losses are due to employee theft, wouldn’t it make sense to protect those doors used primarily by employees?
You may be thinking to yourself, “Why do I need to spend money on antennas for my back doors? Only my managers can open it and we have policies that don’t allow the door to be left unattended.” I would point out that in my nearly 20 years of Loss Prevention experience I have seen countless violations of security procedures. There are always justifications such as, “We are supposed to keep the compactor locked, but a manager doesn’t have time to come back here every time someone needs to throw something out.” Or, “We don’t allow employees to use the vendor door to go outside for smoke breaks.” Yet during overnight surveillances of overnight teams I would see exactly these violations. It’s always easy to say a policy prevents dishonesty but oddly enough, I rarely found that dishonest employees were entirely concerned about following policies. You may think employee package checks are thorough or back doors are always monitored when opened but I can assure you a dishonest employee could be getting merchandise out and you would not know it. Alpha hard tags would activate antennas at those doors if employees or vendors were sneaking merchandise out, whether the merchandise is hidden or not.
Don’t allow your retail anti-theft devices to be used at only fifty percent of their potential. Prevent shoplifting AND employee theft at the same time. Secure ALL of your doors with EAS antennas and protect all of your products with Alpha products and watch your shrinkage shrink!

Shoplifting Overtakes Internal Theft: Leverage Alpha Keepers To Prevent Shoplifting
Shoplifting overtakes internal theft! Those are the headlines across loss prevention circles these days as it is the first time in many years that the greatest loss for retailers is attributed to shoplifting rather than internal theft. If that isn’t reason enough to make retailers stay up at night, one can always look at the loss prevention news sources and see how prevalent organized retail crime (ORC) has become. It was enough to worry about the kids in the neighborhood wanting to get their hands on the new game system release and selecting your store to do their shoplifting. Now you have to worry about an organized gang of criminals who do not just want one of your products, but want a large number of your products and will be fairly brazen and cunning to get their hands on them. To some extent we have always had ORC with the “Travelers” hitting stores across the country in large numbers for years. We have had criminal enterprises striving to get their hands on precursors for illicit drug manufacturing. Now we have to prevent shoplifting of all types of merchandise from razor blades to Microsoft Surface. We have to find new ways to prevent shoplifting through new retail anti-theft devices.
I can recall Travelers coming through town and going into stores in groups, keeping sales staff and clerks busy while the members of their family pushed racks of clothes out the door into a waiting van. More recently, I can recall a shoplifter coming into the store and taking 10 or 12 flash drives off the hooks and concealing them to go into the restroom and remove the EAS tags. We have also seen multiple shoplifters come into one of the stores in my area and remove the game from the game system case and leave the store with multiple games. The same thing has happened with music CDs more than once.
A company I worked for had a zero tolerance approach towards theft and fought back hard to protect their merchandise—much like we all should in light of those new statistics about shoplifting. To prevent shoplifting of their merchandise they partnered with a leader in the industry: Alpha Products, a division of Checkpoint Systems. Alpha keepers were used on merchandise that was determined to be high risk. These hardened alarmed polycarbonate cases provide the highest level of security in retail anti-theft devices. The cases require a special magnetic key to open and will activate EAS (electronic article surveillance) alarms when the shoplifter tries to leave with the merchandise without going through your checkout. These hardened Alpha keepers allow you to display your merchandise with no difficulty on hooks or on shelves with complete visibility of the product while still ensuring no one can tamper with the merchandise and open the packaging to remove the product. Basically, it also means that shoplifters can look but not touch!
Alpha keepers are available in a variety of sizes and different designs for specific products, including razor blades, infant formula, electronics, CDs, DVDs, games, fragrances, and health and beauty products to name a few. They are reusable with your cashier removing the keeper from the merchandise at checkout and recycling it back to place on other merchandise.
With shoplifting being our number one potential loss causing event, we need to ensure that we are not making it easy for shoplifters to leave with our merchandise. Utilize retail anti-theft devices to their maximum advantage and prevent shoplifting – be it by the neighborhood youth or by the professional organized retail criminal.

I talk a lot about how to prevent shoplifting here. I’ve probably given you hundreds of tips, tricks and life hacks on how to properly secure your store’s merchandise. All of this knowledge is bestowed upon you for one reason and one reason only. I sincerely want your business to be successful. I want you to seek out and destroy a thief and I want you learn from mistakes that have happened to others. I’ve discussed with you nearly every imaginable way someone has stolen merchandise from me, but one thing that is not often discussed is how to secure our stores tools. I’m going to change that, starting today.
A few years ago, one of my stores went through a routine technology audit. We found out that the store was missing a single Texlon. For those that may be a bit foggy, those are those little hand-held computers that store associates use. They can print labels, change prices, order inventory, and pretty much anything else under the sun. Packed with our programs, the units are valued at nearly $7k. This missing unit was not missing; it had been stolen. Over the next several days, we found one or two missing at a total of 10 stores. Some sound investigating showed that one guy had made the rounds and helped himself to these units. Had I known about Alpha Thunder Tags back then, I wouldn’t have lost nearly $70,000.
Often, I find we are so involved and deeply concerned with preventing shoplifting, we overlook the incredibly expensive pieces of technology that we use in the course of daily business. Think of the last time you went to a coffee shop, or small boutique. Chances are that instead of a conventional POS system, they had an iPad. It probably wasn’t secured against a thief either. Using a device as simple as an Alpha Thunder Tag can guarantee that a customer with sticky fingers won’t be helping themselves to your store’s equipment.
Let’s say you use an i-Pad, or similar tablet for your POS. The Alpha Thunder Tag can be easily placed onto the back of the tablet. It’s held in place with adhesive that won’t damage or alter the equipment in any way, shape or form. There’s also this little plunger on the back that gives you some added protection from tampering. It’s a 3 alarm tag, so you’ll know if it goes out the door, if someone tries removing the tag and then if it’s not already great enough, the unit will continue to sound the alarm once it passes through your EAS towers. A thief will surely not want that sort of attention as they’re running down the street. 95dba will get everyone’s attention… trust me.
You’re probably having a V8 moment right now. Every manager at every store that I’ve talked to has never thought about their pieces of technology as a magnet for thieves. They’re so concerned about preventing shoplifting, that this is just completely overlooked. Well, I don’t want you to be the next victim. Be proactive; spend a few pennies so you can save thousands of dollars. The lesson here, ladies and gentlemen, is to not overlook commonly stolen items just because they’re not up for sale. To a thief, everything is up for grabs. Literally.

20 USES FOR ALPHA KEEPERS – PART 4
We’ve finally made it! The last in our series covering the best ways to use Alpha Keepers to stop shoplifters. We’ve covered so many great items, but there are still so many uses for these incredible tools. I believe we will be following up with a 20 more ways segment in the very near future! I truly hope you’ve been able to learn something here and will use that to make your store more profitable. To not waste any more time, here are the last 5 uses in our series.
16. Batteries
Whether it’s the high end rechargeable batteries, are the commonly stolen to cook meth brand of lithium batteries, this category continues to plague retailers of all sizes. What’s worse is that in most stores, the retailer doesn’t actually make a profit on name brand batteries. That makes it even more crucial to prevent shoplifting. While impractical to lock up every single battery, Alpha Keepers are a great tool for the higher risk/theft styles.
17. Cigarettes
While there are commonly state and/or local laws in effect around the country that mandate these items be stored behind a counter, there are certain areas where retailers may be able to display these out in the open. Doing so is more convenient to the customer, but makes it that much easier for a criminal to rob you blind! If you desire an open merchandising concept here, an Alpha Keeper is the way to go.
18. Memory Cards/Flash Drives
I have not yet found a more effective way to prevent shoplifting than using an Alpha Keeper. Memory cards are inherently high priced and incredibly small, making them prime targets for boosters. I see these items very commonly in refund fraud cases. Locking them away or behind a peg lock can adversely affect your sales. Using the keeper is a great alternative.
19. Tablets
Everyone that carries computers or tablets probably has a pretty sophisticated security system for the display merchandise. That’s a given, but what about the backstock? How many customers do you turn away each day because they grew tired of waiting on a salesperson to fetch one from the back? Even if it’s one a day, that missed sale can equate to nearly $150,000 of lost sales in a year. What if you were able to display your backstock in a way that made it easier for the customer to simply pick it up and head to the register, all while preventing a thief from swiping your profits away?
20. Anything Else
Take a walk around your store after reading this. Look for items that are constantly reported stolen. Ask yourself if you’ve done all you can to prevent shoplifting. Perhaps you have a popular item that can’t be secured by a traditional EAS device such as a hard or soft tag. Maybe the item is too bulky or oddly shaped that normal tagging just isn’t effective. These are the items that are perfect for Alpha Keepers. While I’m surely not suggesting you clamp everything in your store down inside plastic, just know that there is always a security solution out there to fit your need, and more importantly, your budget.
