Show 10 October 11. 1973 STANDARD The Chamber Maid Roosevelt Chamber of Commerce Ieule (). Bell CAUGHT! It is estimated that shoplifting natioto losses of up to nally amounts $6,000,000 a day. The State of Illinois alone has losses of $8,000,000 a year due to shoplifting. You may have heard that no one is punished for shoplifting. This is not true. Today more and more stores are proseruling thieves. More thieves are the customer going to jail. The store-an- d evenlually-mus- l pay for this stolen merchandise. The thief must pay for his crime. Have you ever wondered why prices re so high? (silly question, haven't we all) Well, you and I pay the price for shoplifters because merchants have to raise prices to compensate for losses due to shoplifting. With merchandise mark-up- s of 1.5 to 7 per cent to cover the cost of theft, the nation's shoplifting problem is no longer of interest to merchants only. Everyone must become involved in putting a stop to this expensive problem. In reading a report pul out by the FBI shoplifters, commonly referred to as boosters, fall into several categories. The most common and well known of these are the professional, the amateur, the narcotirs addict and the kleptomaniac. They may be male or female, adult or child, employee or customer all with one idea-l- o steal. The Professional booster's motivation for his action e is largely for profit. With little income or means of support, he (or she) makes it his vocation, primarily working in department stores and specialty shops. The amateurs, the casual offender, the housrwifc. persons with meager income, and juveniles of both sexes comprise the amateur group. They steal for several reasons; real or imaginary hardship, personal needs, an opportunity presenting itself, inability to resist temptation, with juveniles-f- or the thrill involved. The amateur's loot is largely taken from counters displaying lingerie, hose, costume jewelry and various and sundry small articles. Juveniles-youthful shoplifters, for the most part, take things they do not need. They do not try to profit by their act of shoplifting, and, more than not, do it as a sort of adventure. Also, some young people sent to the store by their parents with the money to make certain purchases will steal the items and keep the money for their own use. The narcotics addict shoplifts for merchandise with high resale value. This is necessary because of his expensive habit. He sells his loot to a fence for anything he can gel for it. often receiving less than half the value of the merchandise. The kleptomaniac is defined as an irresis table desire to steal. The kleptomaniac usually comes from the upper middle class families and from wealthy or financially stable homes The articles stolen are desired not because of their values but may have act itself hasome hidden meaning-th- c ving satisfied some inner tension or compulsion. True kleptomaniacs represent less than 1 percent of the total number of individuals who steal from stores. ?

At this clinic he will show methods used by shoplifters, how to detect shoplifters snd how clerks esn help to prevent shoplifting in their stores. He will also cover clerk ethics in this clinic, so we hope all the local clerks will attend. In discussing the problem with some of the merchants on main street shoplifting is a real problem and getting worse. It is definitely a serious problem among young people and one which merits tremendous attention if we are to reduce this crime. A good way to begin to help fight this crime is to be sure you all attend our next Chamber of Commerce meeting on Thursday, October 18, at the new Union high school lunch room. Every merchant in town should be in attendance as well as his help attend. If make it mandatory-tha- t everyone in a store is working together and know the things to look for in shoplifting techniques then it will be an easier job to eliminate the problem. This program is being carried over into the schools. Mr. Lowe will be presenting the prosecution side of shoplifting, what happens to the shoplifter when he or she is caught. The program will be at 1:00 at the Jr. High school and at 2:40 at Union high school on October 17. We appreciate the cooperation of the schools in letting us bring this program to their students. We hope that by presenting the technique side of shoplifting to the merchants, clerks and parents and the prosecution side to the students that we are at least putting the needed information into the hands of those who can benefit by it most and then we can go from there. The local police department will be cooperating with us in presenting these programs and will possibly make us aware of some of the problems which exist here in our City.
