Most businesses use some form of video surveillance to protect their stores, but what they are not aware of is that shoplifters hardly bother with the cameras because they have gotten so good at stealing. Shoplifters manage to get away without being stopped or challenged by staff in the stores; they simply go out of sight of the cameras and conceal what they are stealing. Experts say that retailers are better off spending their security budget on training workers at the tills to spot suspicious behavior than on expensive surveillance equipment. If staff in a store say ‘hello’ to each customer, then dedicated shoplifters will immediately become paranoid that they have been suspected and leave the store.
