Our store gets one of every new release stolen in the first few days, invariably. Other than that, it's not too much of a problem.Our theft rates for RPG books is well below our theft rate for Graphic Novels. On the other hand, we do use a theft tag in every single RPG book (and Graphic Novel). Hopefully our new ones are less annoying than the old ones. The new ones are designed to peel off easily. That may seem counterintuitive, but since they can be removed like a Post-it, we can stick it on any of the hundreds of pages in a book, making it much harder to find. We only use the gluey, impossible to remove ones on stuff that is shrink-wrapped (which means we find it on the wrapper in the bathroom).The old D&D minis, however, were in those cardstock boxes. Even if we tagged the box, you could pick up several boxes, carry them around (since we encourage people to browse) and take the contents (or redistribute the contents), all without removing the tag. Once I got a system to prevent them from being taken so easily, our sales of them was at least ten times what it had been before.</blockquote>
