Students present tor the biggest shoplifting problem at McKay's market — last year they accounted
for more than 40 percent of all the shoplifters, according to the store’s security head.
Campus area store leery of shoplifters,
typical offenders are University students
By Michael Doke
Of the Emerald
A University sophomore described as a good
student from an upper middle-class Portland
neighborhood left McKay's market last term with
more then he'd bargained for.
After walking through the check-out stand
and leaving the store, a McKay's security officer
approached him and discovered a $2.89 bottle of
aspirin in his pocket that wasn't paid for.
The student was put under citizen's arrest for
shoplifting by security. And after being charged
for the misdemeanor, the student left college
shortly after his conviction, says Officer Bob
Holland of the Eugene Police Department.
The story is not unique to the campus area,
says Tracy Weston-Ladnow, who heads the securi
ty force for McKay's on Franklin Boulevard.
McKay's is second only to the University
bookstore in shoplifting arrests in area
businesses, Weston-Ladnow says.
Between September last year through March
this year, 40 percent of the shoplifter's stopped at
the store were University students, she says. Tran
sients account for only 24 percent of the crime at
McKay's during the same period, she says.
With one full-time and five part-time security
members in force seven days a week, McKay's is
not the wisest place to attempt a shoplifting, she
says.
"We don't take shoplifting lightly at the store
— thieves shouldn't take it lightly either,"
Weston-Ladnow says. "We refer 71 percent of
adults we arrest to police. No matter what, people
who steal will pay."
The outright fine for shoplifting in Eugene can
be as high as $200, Holland says. On top of that,
an additional $150 in civil penalties can be weigh
ed against the offender, he says. And a six month
jail sentence can be imposed for the Class A
misdemeanor, he adds.
r
Allison of EPD concurs with Holland that
fines, a jail sentence and a damaged record
should deter the possible shoplifter.
“I've dealt with students who have had to
change their educational direction. Some have
left school, but others find it very difficult to get
into the occupations they want," Allison says.
Many firms or professional fields like the legal
or medical areas already have many qualified in
dividuals to choose from, Allison says, and those
with a criminal history tend to get weeded out.
"You can't get a teaching certificate," Holland
says. "If you get asked about your background
during a polygraph test, you'll have to admit to
the crime. Retail corporations won't hire you and
there will always be a question of your
trustworthiness."
"Once you're in a field, that's fine. But try to
apply for a job with a misdemeanor on your
record. Why would an employer hire someone
who has already demonstrated a flaw?" Allison
asks.
According to Weston-Ladnow, people who
shoplift often have the money to pay for what
they steal. Approximately 70 percent of the items
taken cost less than $5, and grocery products —
including candy and meat — account for 40 per
cent of thefts, she says.
Drugs make up 13 percent of what's stolen at
McKay's, and alcohol products account for 5 per
cent of the incidents, she says.
"in stealing, anything and anyone goes," says
Weston-Ladnow. "We've caught professionals
and housewives. These account for 20 percent of
arrests. But students are the biggest problem.
"People steal because of peer pressure or
because they think they can get away with it," she
says. "And the people we do catch shoplifting are
only a small percentage of what is really going on.
"But those we do catch can, especially if they
are repeaters, can expect to see jail."
