Best Answer

Shoplifting or as it is called in the trade Theft impacts enormously on the pricing system as increases are required to off set the financial loss. Its also worth noting that shoptheft reflects on the management AND staff of the shop concerned as those who investigate such losses have to include everyone who enters the shop to work or purchase when undertaking investigative actions to stop the dishonest appropriation of the stock. In some serious cases shops have been closed down because of the high value losses suffered. Therefore the community suffer because a retail service is lost.
