Is retail theft on the increase?

Is it just us or is retail theft on the increase?  Five of my shops have experienced thefts in the last four days.  Two people have been caught and we have vision of others.  In each instance, the item stolen was small.  I have never seen it as bad as this week.  We are being as vigilant as ever and make our use of camera technology obvious in-store.

    Not just you Mark – the Xmas period was the worst on record for us in terms of theft. Very difficult to catch + police show little interest in pursuing. Very frustrating. Having to look at additioanal security tags etc.
