One of the most effective leads to follow when creating an employee theft investigation is ones that come directly from employees. Employees are more likely than you or a manager to see what their co-workers are doing. They can tell if they work hard when you are and are not around. They might also know more about an employee’s personal issues like a financial hardship.
As a result, your employees might be more likely to notice employee theft before you will. Unfortunately employee theft tips are hard to generate.
The employees do not want to feel like they are giving bad information about someone. As such, they need to have absolute faith in you- faith that they can trust you and you will keep their confidence and not make them out to be a tattle -tale later on.
One way to help facilitate this garnering of information is to find a way to allow the employees to remain anonymous when they disseminate the information to you. If you have the resources to set up a phone number that allows for anonymous reports, that is one of the best ways to set up a way for employees to leave their tips.
Another way is to create a locked box in a break room, or attached to a manager’s office. It can be labeled as a suggestion box, as long as employees are aware that employee theft tips can be left there too. Lastly, nothing else compares to having employees trust you enough to tell you directly what is going on. The more you instill trust and confidence in your employees, the more likely they will be to come to you with their suspicions.

At the end of a bottle service, the nightclub will hold the remainder of the patron’s purchased liquor bottles in secured storage. Because of how liquor licenses are usually set up for a night club, compared to a liquor store, the bottles can not be taken with the patrons, even though they have paid for them in full.
The solution is that the club will securely keep the bottles until the next time the patron come back to the club. Then the patron can be served the remainder of the bottle of liquor.
In the mean time, nightclubs are faced with how to keep the opened bottle secure. There is more to it than just having a designated or off limits storage area just for opened bottles. An open bottle unattended for days, maybe weeks at a time, is just asking to be consumed under the radar by employees.
Many employees know they would be caught if they took drinks from the bar’s inventory, but what about a bottle that is not closely monitored? In particular, a bottle that is already opened and the exact contents are unknown can be the perfect target.
If the club draws a line on the bottle to show where the liquor was when they received the bottle, the club may come across as unprofessional or tacky when the patron comes back and sees the drawings. Smart employees could also drink out of the bottles and then fill it back up to the line with water or tea.
Using designated bottle locks keeps the contents secure without damaging or marking the actual bottle. The patron does not need to be aware of your in house security concerns, as the bottle lock could be taken off before the bottle is served.

On any given day, golf pro shops can carry a massive variety of golfing accessories, clothing and golf clubs. Even though a pro shop might seem to be out of the way or immune to the wiles of a common shoplifter, pro shop theft is actually quite common. As such, pro shops are faced with creating their own pro shop and golf club security measures.
Many pro shop owners and managers I have talked to feel like they are stuck trying to reinvent the wheel. There is not a lot of information or resources for pro shops out there. There are even fewer solutions to help combat pro shop theft.
The good news is that Alpha Security actually has a variety of anti theft devices that can easily be applied to the size, financial resources, and concerns of small box golf pro shop.
Used in conjunction with a Checkpoint System is a variety of anti theft devices- the basic security tags found on most merchandise at major retailers. The devices can be used on clothing like shirts, pants, and shoes. There are also small devices, which work for items like gloves. Paper labels can be affixed to boxes of golf balls, and best of all; Alpha Security makes the O Tag. This tag is a clamshell that attaches to the handle of the golf clubs- protecting them in a way that only a specialized anti theft device can.
Any way you look at it, these tools can help to drastically reduce the amount pro shop theft, without the need to completely reinvent the wheel.

Security tags on clothes will deter many potential shoplifters from stealing. Unfortunately, there are still plenty of shoplifters out there who will try to find a way to work around them. One of the most common methods is to take clothing into a fitting room. There, the shoplifters can bide some time as they try to figure out how to disable or eliminate clothing security tags.
Since it is inappropriate for a store to do anything to compromise a customer’s right to privacy in a fitting room, many traditional clothing security tools used to view what is going on are rendered useless. The next best thing is to use your ears.
Did you know that shoplifters in a fitting room make different sounds than shoppers in a fitting room? It’s true. A shoplifter will be quiet, very quiet. They are spending more time trying to hear who is outside the fitting room.
As they are sliding clothing off of the hangers as quietly and discreetly as possible, they are attempting not to draw any attention to themselves. There might be a distinct snapping sound as they pull price tags off of the clothing. Generally there will be long pauses of silence in between their actions, as they listen to see if someone is aware of what they are doing.
If you or your employees start to hear these sounds, offer customer assistance. Better yet, use clothing security to keep them out of the fitting rooms before hand. Keep the doors locked, keep the rooms cleaned out after each customer is done, and set a limit on how many items can be brought in.

Many shoplifters are not fully aware that if they discard the merchandise they are trying to steal, they can leave the store without being apprehended by store employees. They figure that they are already so far in trouble the best bet is to go ahead and risk leaving with the merchandise unpaid for. As such, retail theft prevention aims to stop shoplifting at the point a shoplifter walks into a store, rather than after they have started the process of stealing your merchandise.
A shoplifter was in our store picking up a variety of electronic items. We didn’t really want to make an apprehension, we primarily wanted the shoplifter to drop the merchandise and leave the store.
The shoplifter had already concealed the merchandise in his bag, and thought he was already in trouble. What he didn’t realize what that if he left the product in the store and exited without any further incident, he could have gone away without any further consequences. Unfortunately, this shoplifter, like many others, figured since he was about to be caught he would just try to get out the store as best he could.
Because he left with the stolen merchandise, we went ahead with the apprehension, causing more work and trouble for both of us. Retail theft prevention from that point on was fine tuned to prevent the shoplifter more quickly to avoid unnecessary work later on.
