Most thieves steal out of desire not necessity. A study conducted at Columbia University in 2008 showed that shoplifting “was more common among those with higher education and income, suggesting that financial considerations are unlikely to be the main motivator.” Adults make up 75% of shoplifters whereas those under 18 years old make up the remaining 25%. Some of the most stolen items include designer hang bags, handheld electronics, high end kitchen appliances and kid’s electronics.

There have been numerous advances in theft prevention such as smart tagging merchandise with a tag that emits radio-frequency identification or smart chips that can track what’s stolen from where. In addition some retailers use entry and exit sensors as well as source tagging to place a tracing element into products to detect theft from a store as well. Faced with more expensive and smaller consumer goods such as phones, GPS devices and now wearables how does a retailer best display merchandise allowing the consumer access to their products without creating Fort Knox?
