Shoplift

said small items, such as make-up
products, remain the No. 1 theft tar
gets. When actively watching for
theft, Hirons said he apprehends one
person every day. Currently, Hirons
said traditional penalties for shoplift
ing are “adequate,” but not ideal.
“Every shoplifter should have to
stand outside the store that they
shoplifted in with a sandwich board
that reads, ‘I am a convicted
shoplifter,”’ he said of a possible
prevention method. “This would
send a message to people that if
they shoplift merchandise, they
risk public embarrassment.”
In theory, if a defendant chose
that option over a fine, the city pros
ecutor said the sandwich board al
ternative would be allowable. But
such alternative punishments could
not be considered until vendors ap
proach the courts or the Legislature
with their ideas, Richardson said.
To send an intolerant message to
shoplifters, the University Book
store prosecutes to the full extent of
the law and uses a unique method
of prevention besides camera sur
veillance — “plain clothes” loss
prevention officers.
“Potential shoplifters just don’t
know who is and who isn’t watch
ing them,” Humphrey said of the
undercover tactic used by the
bookstore staff.

Steve Hirons, manager of Hirons Drug Store, wants shoplifters to carry the burden of
their crime on their shoulders in the form of sandwich boards.
As another prevention method,
costume jewelry was removed from
stock because it was almost “too at
tractive” for shoppers not to steal,
bookstore manager James Williams
said. An annual estimate of $150,000
to $200,000 in revenue is lost at the
bookstore due to shoplifting and
fraud cases — including bad checks
— and more than 100 individuals are
prosecuted every year, he said. Con
sidering the store is partly-owned by
University students and faculty, how
ever, he said shoplifters are often
stealing from themselves.

“At least people know who their
neighborhood petty thieves are,”
manager Pete Enfield said, adding
that the majority of cases involve
small items people don’t really need.
Little’s also prosecutes shoplifters
to the full extent to maintain a
tough local reputation. But despite
cameras, photos and word on the
street, Enfield said shoplifting will
continue to be a problem. “No mat

be stealing,” he said.
