Good way to cut theft

cutting_theft.JPGI was at newsXpress Redcliffe in Queensland earlier this week and noticed this sign they had made and placed strategically around the store.  I think it will act as an excellent theft deterrent.  It stands out.  It also looks professional, like they mean business.  Research I have seen shows that people are less likely to steal if they think there is a reasonable change of them getting caught.

    What you say is true. The one proviso is that the ownere must be 100% sure that in between the image taken, the ‘shoplifter’ was never out of sight and had no opportunity to abandon the merchandise. (Hope that makes sense.)
