PILFERAGE DRAINS SI BILLION A YEAR
Every year at least SI billion is drained from the U. S
economy by employees who steal things ranging from stamps
and electronic parts to huge pieces ol equipment. .
Increasingly, these pilferers are seemingly law-abiding
citizens rather than hardened crooks. Some use such crude
but effective devices as shipping merchandise to relatives
under fictitious orders and burying loot in garbage or
trash cans to be picked up outside by an accomplice. Others
use such refined methods as installing an extra cash reg
ister payable to themselves. For instance, V crooked su
permarket manager might put in a cash register without
the knowledge of his chain, man it himself only at peak
shopping hours, pocket the take.
As industrial pilferage has multiplied, so has the pro
fessional protection business designed to combat it. Just
how bad is the situation? What can be done to eliminate
this needless drain? Here are the views of W. Sherman
Burns, president of the William J. Burns International De
tective Agency, Inc., the world's largest industrial security
organization.
Porter: How is that $1 billion pilferage figure reached?
Burnst It is based on insurance loss statistics. It doesn't
count mysterious losses which we know occur. Many com
Denies can't be specific about a loss because they don't
even know what their inventory is at a given time, and
therefore these losses are not reimbursable by insurance
companies. Statistics also fail to include perhaps far greater
losses through employee waste, malingering, poor super
visory work or outright conflict of interest.
Porteri How do U.S. losses compare with those in other
countries?
Burns: .Our losses are higher because our economy is
so much bigger and the cost of our materials is so much
higher. On a moral basis, though, pilferage is no higher
here than in other parts of the world. Unquestionably,
there is less respect for the rights of private property today
than In the past. It is astounding how many people will
commit petty theft without thinking they are doing anything
wrong.
Porter: Would stiffer laws or greater law enforcement
help to eliminate this huge drain on our economy? -
Burns: Certainly more law enforcement would, but
there's always the question of how much you can spend
on law enforcement. All police departments are under
manned. '.
Some businessmen operate under the philosophy that it
would cost them more to stop pilferage than to absorb the
loss or raise prices to cover it. Others, unfortunately, won't
even turn the matter over to their insurance companies
preferring simply to get rid of a man they suspect of wrong
doing. All businessmen should understand the basic point
that to leave crimes unpunished is to invite more crimes.
Porter: In addition to prosecuting known offenders, how
can company managements protect themselves against light
lingered employees?
Burns: Much crime could be eliminated by one easy
move: checking on the background of prospective em
ployees. Startling as it may seem, many employers don't
even check the references of those they hire. If some let
tors don't come back, they fail to find out why. Companies
we protect ask job applicants to sign a standard employee
record card which states that applicants must' be willing
to have their past record and references checked by our
agency. Among the questions on this card are: "Have you
ever been refused a bond? "Have you ever been com
plained of, indicted for or convicted of any violation of
the law or ordinance? If so, give details." A clear state
ment that a company is being professionally protected
helps to eliminate the temptation to crime.
Porter: How Important is close checking of inventories?
Burns: It's vital, for if companies do not have reliable
systems to check inventory, any employee with a little
larceny In his soul is handed a great temptation. It is far
more economical to try to prevent pilferage than It is to in
vestigate it. v .
