Shop-lifting
1. My ideas of shop-lifting were bound up with teenage memo-
ries of nicking packets of chewing gum from the local newagents. A lot
of guilt and not much loot. After a few conversations with professional
shop-lifters, I realized that “blatant” was just about right.
2. Nobody took a couple of ties: they took the whole rack. The
first member of the gang would walk in nice and purposefully. Their job
was to set up the goods: perhaps put an elastic band round the ends of a
few dozen silk scarves; move the valuable pieces of jewellery nearer the
edge of the counter; slide the ties on the rack into a compact bunch.
Then, while somebody else diverts the assistant or provides some sort
of masking, the third member lifts the lot.
3. If the walk to the door is a little long, then there may be
someone else to take over for the last stretch. No one is in possession
for more than a few seconds, and there’s always a couple of spare bod-
ies to obstruct anyone who seems to be getting too near the carrier.
Store detectives who move forward with well-founded suspicions may
still find themselves clutching empty air.
4. Store detectives watch for three main give-aways: any sort of
loitering which looks different from the usual handing around and dith-
ering that characterizes the real customer; any covert contact between
individuals who’ve shown no other sign of knowing each other; any
over-friendliness towards sales staff which might be acting as a distrac-
tion. “There’s one other little angel,’’ said one detective. “I often pop
round the back stairs; that’s where you’ll occasionally find one of them;
trying to relax and get themselves in the right mood before starting the
next job.”
