Put hight theft items there so people have to ask for them. Sure if you're busy someone might still walk off with something but you'll know who did and remember them next time they walk in.Keep the cards (at least the singles worth money) behind the couner in binders. Goto tigerdirect.com and buy a cheap refurb laptop. Set up a database of your instock cards on that and have that where people can access it. you may need a couple of computers eventually but 1 is enough to start.''Paid'' Security. Have a policy of payment. Someone informs you of a thief (before, during or after) and you reward them. Maybe 10% of slavaged product price in store credit. After all 10% is better then 100% and you'd be surprised how many people would sell out a friend for 10%. I wouldn't advertise this just tell a couple of kids once you get to know who you can trust.Mirror ceiling tiles and ceiling bubbles. you throw up some of these babies stick a sign by the registered that says ''Premisses May Be Monitored by Closed Circuit Television''. Every thief in town will be convinced you use video survalience. (Just don't let anyone - even employees - know that these are decoys.)Edge Mirrors on the walls and aisles. Strtegically place these bad boys and you can watch the whole store from behind your register.Register placement. Put the register right by the front door, not in the back or the middle of the store. Make sure that thief has to walk right past you when he leaves with your stuff in his pocket and make it policy to greet every one and wish them off. You'll be able to pick out most of the thiefs.Warn them how much you hate thiefs. Hang up signs proporting your hatred of thiefs and your abilities to legally prosecute them.You don't have to do all of these but a good mixture of them can be cost effective and work wonders on shrinkage.</blockquote>
