Shoplifting

Be prepared...

The increase in shoplifting can, amongst other things, be put down to the modern shopping concept of self-service.
Generally thieves steal from places where they feel unobserved– in large shopping centres or in shops designed in an unclear manner. Shoplifters come from all social groups and their tricks are very diverse. Attentive personnel and a clearly designed shop are important pre-requirements to put a stop to shoplifting.
