Usually the store item has hidden within it somewhere a small magnetic or sensitive piece of tape which activates a scanner, or detector, located near the doorway. Thus when you leave the store with a stolen item, or leave the library with a book you wish to steal, the hidden sensitive tape activates the alarm system. Of course, some 'no-steal' devices are not at all hidden but very plainly obvious. These deter the shoplifter immediately.
All the devices are 'neutralized' at the check out counter and then the paid items no longer 'sound the alarm'. Shoplifting adds considerable to the cost of business and libraries suffer greatly from theft.

You have 6 things on your credit report how much could your score go up if you get those thing off?
It is not possible to answer this question without knowing the details of those items. If you remove 6 negative items, the score will increase. If you remove 6 negative items and have no positive items, your score may increase but you may then essentially have no credit instead of bad credit, which places you in the same difficult position when it comes to borrowing. The amount your score will increase depends on your overall credit profile and the type of items being removed.

Do bar codes make security alarms in the store go off?
Sometimes it matters what you buy.like say you just bought a phone and you walk into a clothing store now if the clothing store has one of the security alarms it would go off even though the phone is payed for. (EDIT) I don't know if you're looking to steal something or you might be just curious, but it really depends on what you buy. Usually you can tell if when you peal off the barcode tag there are little metal rings (Which can be removed). Often valuable objects such as Xbox360's, iPhones, PS3's, ect. have these on them. Sometimes a secretive tag inside the box, which is why I wouldn't recommend stealing an iPhone, Xbox360, or anything else valuable in a box. Items that I am 90% sure do NOT have security alarms in the barcodes are packs of gum, candy bars, cheap lipstick, and anything else cheap or inexpensive. I hope this helps.

Does automobile insurance cover items stolen from an automobile?
No. Auto insurance will only cover the vehicle and items that came installed standard on the vehicle. You can, however make a claim on your homeowners insurance for other items stolen from your vehicle. Homeowners insurance gives you coverage for items off premises up to 10% of your contents coverage on the policy. This is to cover situations like this, thefts or damage while on vacation, and even dependent children's items while in a dorm room. The biggest problem is that you will have a deductible for damage to the car and another deductible for the items stolen and covered on the homeowners policy.
