College bookstores that employ security guards as a form of bookstore security are on the right path. However, a security guard can’t be in every nook and cranny of the store at every given point in time. This leaves a loophole in the bookstore security allowing for incidents like this to happen.
Two girls had gone to the bookstore and attempted to steal several textbooks, presumably for the upcoming semester. With their bags loaded up with their textbooks of choice, one of the security guards attempted to stop them. The two girls ran away to avoid getting caught.
One of the girls dropped her bag containing her student ID leading us to the now known suspect. As it turned out, the girl was having financial hardship, which is why she was in there to steal, rather than to pay for the books.
The girl that was with her was not under financial duress, she simply did not want to pay for the expensive textbooks. She wanted to spend the money on going out to bars and parties instead.
The end result was that both girls were dropped from their academic programs and not allowed back inside the college bookstore.
The bookstore took this as a learning opportunity to discuss and find ways to reduce the shoplifting and theft that was going on. Clearly having a security guard was not as efficient of a form of bookstore security as what they had previously thought. Both girls admitted this was not the first time they had come to the college bookstore to steal their textbooks.

When we spend money on our clothing security devices and components, there is a certain expectation of reliability to decrease and eliminate shoplifting. Unfortunately, some thieves work hard to find ways to defeat our systems.
A recent example is the theft of over two hundred pairs of underwear from a high-end clothing store. A man walked into the store with a large bag, went to the closest tables he could get to, and pushed as many pairs into the bag. He then ran out of the store. Eventually the police did catch up to the man, and found the merchandise, along with the bag he had used in the theft.
It turns out that the bag the shoplifter used had a foil lining- designed to bypass the clothing alarm used in conjunction with the clothing security tags on all of the merchandise in the store.
Many reputable dealers are using technology in their clothing security and clothing alarms that not only alerts employees to foil linings coming into the store, but also will not be defeated or bypassed by their use.
These advancements in clothing security technology help maintain the reliability of clothing security tags. By eliminating ways shoplifters can work around your system, you can continue to have the same expectation of results.
