I can foresee this sort of problem increasing, bearing in mind the lack of police, soft courts, and greedy defence lawyers.

Solutions?  Well, there are a couple of options I can think of immediately:
- Shops in 'certain areas' are likely to close down.  What will the locals do then?
- Shops will consider not having goods immediately available, but images on display with details and costs.  Customers would then make a list of what they want, hand it to a checkout operator, the requested goods will be brought out from the stock room, and will then be handed over after payment.

Any other bright ideas?

One day when Ned  had got the hump
His door bell rang and made him jump
But when he opened the door...🚪 
Guess what he saw . .

Although I agree with what  Peter Bleksley was saying about these stores employing properly trained security staff,  Muddy,   but  I don't suppose the smaller local shops and corner shops could afford such people,  but they suffer with theft too.  
I think his idea  would only be of help to the big concerns, so I don't know what would help others..

Holiday Monday, now what will you do ?
Just the usual, or something new ?
Nothing new here, it's all the same
Trip to the Co-op and back again 
And then straight up to the loo!    :grin:

I've had a lovely day.
My son and DIL came over late morning,  and helped in the garden until mid afternoon.
Gary did some pruning of shrubs which I haven't been about to do with this dodgy shoulder/arm still,  and also cut my grass for me,  while  Jean did loads of weeding then helped me re-pot a lovely big Camelia.

No one has ever helped me before,  I have always done it myself as I love my little garden,  but I have been a bit crotchety of late,  and with everything starting to grow again it was quickly getting out of hand.

I have still got more hoeing to do, and the seed sowing for this year,  but at least we've made a start. 
It was also glorious warm sunshine all day too,  a beautiful day, with lots of Ladybirds and Butterflies everywhere.

I don't think Waitrose will have heard the end of this, somehow. 

In a way I can see why shops don't want staff to get involved,  because it cost them a fortune in compensation if an employee got badly injured at work -  or even killed by some nutter.  

I really don't know the answer though.  
Modern shoplifters must be laughing their socks off.

I'm a bit geeky about facts, some were necessary research when I worked in Local government.
