 The
New Sensormatic Global Retail Shrink Index Revisited
Tyco CCO Tony D'Onofrio shares two key findings
With the USA NRF Loss Prevention Trade Event taking place this week,
it is time to revisit the new
Sensormatic Global Retail Shrink Index published earlier
this year. Covering 14 countries representing 73% of global GDP and
80% of global retail sales, it is the authoritative document on
worldwide loss prevention trends.
In 2017-2018, the cost of retail shrinkage was $99.56 billion for
the countries surveyed. This post focuses on my two favorite charts
from the entire study.
Highest Shrink Rates Across
Verticals and Countries 2017-2018
Below chart summarizes the highest shrink by verticals by
country. The gold medal goes to China in Drugstores, silver to
Mexico in Office Equipment, and bronze to Italy in Home & Gardens
stores.
Top LP Raw Data Cited by
Respondents for Data Mining to Reduce Shrink
Below is a very important chart of the raw data that current loss
preventions programs leverage to reduce shrink.
Point of sale being number one was not a surprise. Lots of advanced
solutions are already in the market deployed by most retailers. Most
of the others were not revolutionary in nature. Almost all look like
basics and reflect extensive potential upside in developing raw data
for retailers to leverage to reduce shrink. A few new technologies
that will eventually be on this list include social media, video
analytics, and GPS tracking solutions.
North America individuals can download the
2018 Sensormatic Retail Shrink Index here.

More racial bias in Philly?
Lowe's checks receipts in 'inner city' but not in nearby 'white,
suburban' town
One day after Will Mega was told at a West Philadelphia Lowe's on May 27
that attendants check the receipts of all exiting customers from stores
in high crime areas, Mega asked a cashier why he was not similarly
checked while leaving a store in mostly white, suburban Havertown.
"'No, I just waited on you,'" Mega, the Dean of Students at the Sankofa
Freedom Academy in Kensington, recalled her saying. "'This is the
'white hood,' and we don't do that here.'"
One day earlier, while leaving the store located in the 1500 block of N.
50th Street, Mega used the camera on his phone to record that store's
manager say to him, after being told to produce a receipt, that this
does not happen in all stores, and that he was being stopped in the West
Philadelphia store because it was a "Class Six store, sir. It's a high theft
store, essentially."
An African-American employee is seen in the video nodding her head in
agreement with the manager and saying the store is "an inner-city store." Mega, who filed a complaint with the Pennsylvania Human
Relations Commission, is seen on video asking the man identified as the
store manager to show him the policy.
The man then says, "I don't necessarily know if we have a policy. Do we even
have a policy?"

Melon salmonella outbreak affects Walmart, Costco, Kroger and more
Dozens of people sickened, including 30+ hospitalized
Could still be on store shelves in eight states
A salmonella outbreak that sickened dozens of people last month has been
linked to pre-cut melons from a food distributor in Indianapolis,
spurring a recall of products in eight states.
 Packages of fresh-cut watermelon, honeydew melon, cantaloupe and mixed
fruit have been recalled in Georgia, Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky,
Michigan, Missouri, North Carolina and Ohio. An investigation is
underway to see if other products or states were affected.
So far, 60 people have been sickened by the outbreak - 32 were in
Michigan - and at least 31 people have been hospitalized, according
to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the Food and Drug
Administration. No deaths have been reported.
"Because it is possible that products shipped between April 17 and
June 7, 2018, could still be on store shelves, this recall extends
to both retailers and consumers," the company said.
The affected products were in clear plastic containers and distributed
to stores including Walmart, Costco, Kroger, Walgreens and Trader
Joe's.

Indianapolis, IN: Neighbors asking CEO of Dollar General to increase
Security at Indy's northeast side; Employee murdered during robbery in
May
 People
who live near a Dollar General store where an employee was murdered last
month are asking the company's CEO to increase security. Brian Eure, 41,
was shot and killed during a robbery on May 27 at the Dollar General. No
arrests have been made. The neighborhood organization sent a letter to
the CEO of Dollar General. "I'd love to hear back from them and to ask
them what they're gonna do. We'd hate for them to blow us off. I know
we're little and they're big," said Diehr. Among other things, the
letter said, "We would appreciate hearing the actions Dollar General is
planning to implement to increase store safety for employees and our
community."

Whole Foods foot traffic up in each quarter since Amazon acquisition
Competitors ramping up countermoves
 Amazon's
year-old acquisition of Whole Foods is prompting the food industry to
retool how it sells fresh food to consumers. The e-commerce giant agreed
to buy Whole Foods Market Inc. last June for roughly $13.5 billion and
closed the deal in August.
Whole Foods' foot traffic has increased roughly 3% year over year in
each of the quarters since Amazon bought the chain. That came
after two straight years of stagnating sales at the chain before the
deal.
Grocery chains have accelerated planned investments in online delivery
and pickup services, in some cases bumping plans ahead to two- to
three-year timelines instead of five to seven years. Dozens of
supermarkets have struck deals with Instacart Inc., an online
grocery-delivery service that has expanded to more than 200 retailers
from 30 before Amazon's deal.

Does Amazon Have the Solution for Retail's Return Problem?
Fraudulent returns cost retailers an average of $10 billion to $17
billion per year in the U.S. That can be a scary number for anyone,
especially independent retailers who may not have a large safety net to
fall back on when problems arise. Many large retailers such as
Wal-Mart, Target, and Amazon have been tracking the returns that
customers make and a little red flag pops up under their name when they
make frequent returns. Now, Amazon is taking matters into their own
hands and is banning customers over frequent returns.
According to the Wall Street Journal, Amazon has been reportedly
revoking Prime memberships and banning shoppers on its website who
return too many orders or return items for reasons deemed
unacceptable. Returns are expensive for retailers since most of the time
the product comes back damaged or opened and it represents lost
inventory and extra staff time. A line has to be drawn somewhere, and
Amazon is enforcing this new tactic to make it clear to consumers that
there are policies that govern returns to avoid fraudulent activity.

Amazon's convoys reduce highway robbery in Valley of Mexico; Security
strategy employs convoys, escort vehicle
 Trucks
transporting goods for e-commerce giant Amazon used to be a frequent
target for thieves in the greater Mexico City metropolitan area, where
the company has two distribution centers. But thanks to the
implementation of a successful anti-robbery strategy, Amazon hasn't
suffered any holdups on the roads during the past three months.
Since January, trucks leaving the company's warehouses in Cuatitlán
Izcalli, México state, have traveled in convoy, while security vehicles
also accompany the trucks during times when robberies have been shown to
be more frequent. Amazon has also increased its cooperation with
security authorities.
Consequently, robberies gradually became less frequent before
stopping altogether. The Director of Loss Prevention at Amazon
México said that the introduction of the new security strategy
followed a meeting between directors of several other companies that
were also suffering losses due to highway robbery.

More than 5,000 jobs at risk
Poundworld today became the latest retail casualty on the British high

budget retailer has appointed Deloitte to handle an administration after
last-ditch rescue talks with R Capital broke down over the weekend.
Poundworld, which is owned by TPG Capital, has 335 stores. Its collapse
comes after both Toys R Us and Maplin fell into administration earlier
this year. Deloitte will try to find a buyer for the business, and has
said there are no redundancies or store closures at this time.

NRF/University of Florida Survey Says Retail 'Shrink' Decreased to $46.8 Billion
in 2017
 WASHINGTON
- Thefts, fraud and losses from other retail "shrink" decreased to $46.8 billion
in 2017 from $48.9 billion the year before as shoplifting and organized retail
crime continued to be the leading causes, according to the annual National
Retail Security Survey released today by the National Retail Federation and the
University of Florida.
"Retailers are making progress in combating criminal activity, but there are
still many challenges," NRF Vice President of Loss Prevention Bob
 Moraca said.
"Whether the threat is coming from cybersecurity, organized retail crime or
employee theft, the job for retail security teams continues to become more
difficult every day, especially when resources and staff are limited."
According to the report, shrink averaged 1.33 percent of sales, down from 1.44
percent the year before. A total of 59 percent of retailers surveyed said shrink
was flat or decreasing, up from 51 percent. Only 41 percent said shrink was
growing, down from 49 percent. Shoplifting and organized retail crime were the
most frequent causes, accounting for 36 percent of losses, followed by internal
employee theft (33 percent), administrative paperwork errors (19 percent) and
vendor fraud or mistake (6 percent). Download the full study

Cryptocurrency Theft Hits $1.1B in Last 6 Months
A total of $1.1 billion in cryptocurrency was stolen over the past six
months, with criminals increasingly using the dark web to facilitate
theft on a large scale, according to a new report. Cybersecurity
company Carbon Black said data from the FBI's Internet Crime Center
showed the volume of cryptocurrency theft was almost equal to the $1.3
billion in victim losses from internet crime reported for all of 2016.
The report suggests much of the theft is being perpetrated through dark
web marketplaces that offer malware for cybercriminals to use. These
malware offerings have an average listing price of $224 and are geared
toward unsophisticated users.
According to Carbon Black, there are now an estimated 12,000
marketplaces and 34,000 offerings related to cryptotheft for hackers to
choose from, representing a $6.7 million illicit economy.
As
CNBC reports, the price of bitcoin skyrocketed more than 1,300% last year as
new buyers flooded the market. But unlike banks, CNBC noted, "cryptocurrency
is typically not protected or insured by a third party, which
first-time investors might not know." Cryptocurrency exchanges
were the most vulnerable target for cybercriminals, accounting for just
over 27% of attacks.

CIOs ramp up cybersecurity spending, says global survey
Almost a quarter (23%) more CIOs than in 2017 are prioritizing
improvements in cybersecurity as cybercrime threats reach an all-time
high, according to new research.
 The global study, which was conducted between 20 December 2017 and 3
April 2018, also indicated that managing operational risk and compliance
has become an increased priority (up 12%) for IT leaders representing
all industries.
They said that data trust and privacy threats continue to hold the
attention of CIOs, but while measures to improve data security are
underway within companies and through legislation such as GDPR - which was
introduced on 25 May - 38% of those surveyed in April expected
they would not be GDPR compliant at the deadline.
Additionally, 77% of IT leaders are 'most concerned' about the threat
of organised cybercrime, up from 71% last year. Just 22% suggested
they are well prepared for a cyber attack.

Whitepaper: An Inside Look at Online Carding Courses for Cybercriminals
As customers spend more and more money online each year, the opportunities for
fraud increase in parallel; experts project a loss of $24 billion to payment
card fraud by the end of 2018. Payment card fraudsters rely on a sophisticated
ecosystem and support network that provides a wide range of credit card details,
fraud tools and online tutorials.
This whitepaper lifts the lid on e-learning credit card fraud courses. These
programs coach aspiring criminals to make $12,000 in monthly earnings and point
to the increased sophistication of the professional cybercriminal ecosystem as
fraudsters seek to up-skill themselves. Think: High-paying job with a degree in
cybercrime and membership to Bad Actor Fraternity from Fraudster University.

Winners in Traditional Retailing Are Also
Winning Online
Macy's and Kohl's are fighting back against
Amazon, while Sears and J.C. Penney fall farther behind
 When
investors were betting that Amazon would crush every traditional retailer,
it didn't matter how their online sales were doing. Now, a clear gap has
emerged between stores with solid e-commerce operations and those without.
At the far ends of each group are Macy's, which continues to
beat analyst expectations, and Sears, whose tailspin appears to be
accelerating.
Over the last 10 months,
Sears's e-commerce sales were just 17% of
Macy's and Kohl's, according to a
report by Edison Trends, even though
Sears's overall revenue was roughly
two-thirds that of Macy's and about 10% less than Kohl's.
Among a crop of five retailers analyzed by Edison Trends, including Sears,
Kmart, Kohl's, Macy's, and J.C. Penney,
Macy's has seen the strongest online growth
in 2018, climbing 28% in monthly order
volume since January. Meanwhile, Sears's online order volume fell 25% from
January to May.

Survey: Consumer trust may be Amazon's true
competitive advantage
67% of Amazon customers trust the company to protect their privacy and
personal data
According to a newly released
NPR/Marist poll, 92 percent of US online shoppers have used Amazon to
buy something. And nearly 70 percent of Prime subscribers shop Amazon at
least monthly.
But more significantly, Amazon has the confidence of almost 70 percent (67
percent) of its customers, who say they trust the company to protect their
personal data. The survey of just over 1,000 adults was conducted in late
April and early May through telephone interviews.

Amazon still dominates e-commerce, but others
have room to grow
E-commerce is taking a bigger share of retail sales - about 13% last year -
but Amazon continues to take a larger cut of that share for itself,
accounting for almost 42% of U.S. online sales last year, according to data
discussed by Internet Retailer Editor-at-large Don Davis Wednesday at IRCE.
Still, four "bricks-and-clicks" retailers reported stronger online sales
increases than Amazon last year, with Walmart at 61.5% growth (though much
of it via acquisition), Lowe's at 34.3%, Best Buy at 27.2% and Target with
24%, according to Davis' data.

Nassau County, NY: 2nd Brooklyn man charged in
$17,000 return merchandise scam at The Home Depot
A second man has been charged in connection with a scam last year in which
merchandise stolen from several Home Depot stores was returned for money, Nassau
police said Friday. Michel Duckens, 46, was arraigned in in Hempstead on Friday
on charges of third-degree grand larceny, third-degree criminal possession of
stolen property and 10 counts of first-degree falsifying business records.
Police said he and Guery Roy, 40, scammed more than $17,000 out of seven Home
Depot stores in Nassau between April 17 and Sept. 13 of last year. They would,
for example, pay for a relatively inexpensive item while hiding expensive
merchandise, then return the pricier merchandise for a refund, police said.

Dunwoody, GA: Best Buy Roof top Burglary may
be linked to incidents
in other States
 On
Friday, June 8, 2018, at approximately 3:15pm, an unknown number of suspects
gained entry into store in Dunwoody,GA. The suspects gained entry into the store
by cutting a hole in the roof, placing scaffolding in the rafters and then
cutting a hole in the wall by the Apple Cages. Suspects cut 2 holes in wall to
gain access to each cage on opposite side of wall, then proceeded to cut cages.
Suspects targeted Apple products such as MacBooks and Ipads. Store Leadership
opened the building and found the holes in the wall and roof. Store leadership
immediately contacted Dunwoody Police. Police responded and made their way to
the roof where they found multiple holes. This burglary is most likely linked to
the burglaries from stores in Estero,FL on 4/2/18 and Garland,TX on 3/12/18,
based on product stolen and method of entry. Thank you to the Best Buy
Asset Protection Team for submitting this case!

A lot of articles talk about "How to impress your boss" and give you tips on how
to accomplish this. But at the end of the day, it's all about supporting them,
helping them reach their objectives, and not trying to merely impress them.
Impressing a person is great, but usually short lived. Supporting and helping
them reach their goals requires a long-term effort that, at times can truly test
your resolve and stamina.
The thought has always been that if your boss gets promoted, then you might as
well -- as long as you are the one helping them get ahead.
Just a Thought,
Gus
