Comment on Knowledge Center: Jeff Stein on The Risky Business of Loss Prevention by Charlotte Wade

I got chills reading your story. I have had many close calls. The closest was in Columbus, Ms…I was a detective working for Sears. I stopped a male as he exited our mens department with two $99 DVD players. I will remember that day for the rest of my life. I stopped the male, even escorted him to the LP office as he muttered something about looking for lay-a-way…outside, right..So I attempted to get information from him as the other detective I worked with went to get a price on the DVD players. Before I even knew what was happening, he pulled a gun out of his shoe. I was shocked and in that instant…I did see my life flash before my eyes. Its amazing when you are looking death in the eye, what goes through your head in just a few seconds. I saw my four kids, two of which were twin girls, about 6 months old…my husband ( I am divorced now because he felt like LP was all I did, I worked all the time) He slammed me against the wall with the gun at my head and demanded me unlock the door…I did just that…thankfully, the police were on the other side. There was a struggle. He was arrested and I went to the police station to sign the papers. I found out that day how close I had come to getting killed. He was considered armed and dangerous, released just a few months prior. He had a rap sheet two miles long…shoplifting, armed robbery, assault….just to name a few. I almost quit that day. My love for my job kept me going. It took something out of me for a little while. At the time I was one of the top detectives, out performing most bigger stores. Since then, I have come close to getting ran over…I have had knives pulled on me, been in tons of fights. I love my job, I do. I come to work every day not knowing what the day may hold. I know that what I do is dangerous. I know that my detectives put their life on the line every single day that they step through these doors. I respect everyone that does this job. So for all those that do what I do..hats off to you. Good luck and God bless!!!!!!!!!!

I disagree with you. Indeed, I’m not giving a ringing disagreement, but just sayin’ what I think. I have my opinion, you have yours.

Tax increase is is okay as long as the government will use the money wisely not for corruption.

Title III of the USAP has to be amended. Sec 326 (CIP) and Sec 352 (KYC program) have to be amended to banks and broker-dealers are told the identity of the beneficial owner of an account at account opening. Right now, that’s not required.

Comment on When Technology Turns Tradition on its Head by Steve DelBianco

Frankly, I am amazed that the CEO of a technology company would see Rep. Borodkin’s bill as anything but what it is – an attempt to stop competition from online auctions. Online marketplaces have operated successfully with this so-called anonymity factor, to the satisfaction of millions of buyers! That’s because market forces are at work – such as buyer and seller ratings and the ability for buyers to read detailed seller evaluations written by other buyers. Add the fact that great deals are done every day in online auctions, and that makes for some powerful competition. No wonder the retailers are afraid!

How did Mr. Lewis think he was going to get away with that kind of insurance scam? I presume he was expecting the insurance claim to clear relatively quickly - well it’d have to, would it not, for that kind of check fraud to work normally?

Not too clever!

Comment on Retail Loss Prevention’s Biggest Concern: Internal Theft by Joe

Joe — Sun, 13 Jan 2008 00:52:10 +0000

Great article. I just recently began a blog called Joe’s Bunker, that focuses on retail theft and loss prevention issues. I am currently writing a series about maintaining consistently low shrink numbers. My next article will review tools and technology, and I’d love to cite some of your work here. Please visit me, if you like and let me know what you think.
I, too, believe that the first line of defense from internal theft is the hiring process, and that employee screening is an extremely important tool to help reduce internal theft.
Great site, too, btw. I’m definitely a new fan/subscriber.
