HOW SHOPLIFTING AFFECTS YOU & YOUR FAMILY 

One of the most common non-violent crimes facing America today—and most of the world—is shoplifting.  So prevalent is the problem, that most stores and shops automatically increase prices (as much as 10%) to cover these losses. 

Shoplifters fall into several categories.  First, there are the “professionals”.  They make their living by stealing—most often to their “customers” specifications.  They have to perfect their technique to operate…to remove labels with scissors or razor blades, that could incriminate them if caught…or by designing a “booster” box for stolen articles…or the expert use of “bad bags” (shopping bags)…or “booster” skirts or pants (ordinary appearing garments with baglike compartments inside)…plus dozens of other clever “professional’s tools”. 

Some take things they could easily pay for and perhaps do not even want.  These offenders may suffer from kleptomania, a neurotic, irresistible impulse to steal.  This is almost never done for the purpose of acquiring the item taken. While these people may not necessarily be considered mentally ill, generally “kleptomaniacs” are emotionally disturbed. 

The greatest number of shoplifters “amateurs”.  Usually, they have little money, few scruples & an intense desire to own luxuries.  Psychologists say the four most common urges and emotions underlying these crimes are:

  1. Profound feelings of guilt
  2. A wish too be punished
  3. A need to prove their worth and/or
  4. An impulse to retaliate for real or fancied wrongs.  

These shoplifters are not necessarily ill or disturbed; they simply steal because it pays. 

Whether the item taken is of little value (as a candy bar or piece of bubble gum) or of greater worth (typewriter or camera) it is still shoplifting and it is still a crime.  These crimes affect us all by being forced to pay higher prices. 

HOW TO TELL IF YOUR CHILDREN ARE SHOPLIFTERS 

No matter how young children are, they must be taught that to take anything without paying for it is a wrongful act.  If a child does not realize this at an early age, it may set a pattern that could follow into adulthood with disturbing consequences.   

The simplest way to prevent a child from stealing is to watch him at all times while you are shopping and reprimand him when the act takes place.  If this fails, take him to the store manager or other authoritative personnel and say something like “My son took this.  Will you please tell him what happens to people who steal?” 

Naturally, it is a more serious problem when teenagers and adults engage in shoplifting.  A friend or family member may be extremely secretive, but if they engage in shoplifting regularly, there are usually giveaway clues as to their activities:

  1. Extra unexplained income
  2. Possessions of luxuries you know they cannot afford
  3. Secretive habits during certain times of the day, and/or
  4. Lavish gifts on friends and acquaintances

WHEN YOU DISCOVER A SHOPLIFTER 

If it’s a stranger in the illegal act, notify store personnel.  If it’s a friend or family member, warn him first.  If this fails, convince him to see a doctor.  As a last resort, you may have to notify police, to save him from ridicule, disgrace and extreme hardship later.
