The U.S. Crime Surge
The Retail Impact
Top Targeted Store Type?
Grocery Stores Are Easiest to Steal From: Survey
Lending Tree finds that 90% of recent
shoplifters steal due to inflation and the current economy
Twenty-three
percent of Americans have shoplifted, according to the survey from Charlotte,
N.C.-based online lending marketplace LendingTree of 2,000 U.S. consumers - and
90% of recent shoplifters said that they were motivated to do so because of
inflation and the current economy. More than a third (34%) said that they
rely on five-finger discounts because prices have become unaffordable, while
30% said that it helps make ends meet.
Shoplifters are more likely to take from chain stores (52%) than local stores
(28%). They admitted that their thievery is easiest
in the grocery channel (46%). The most common items that shoplifters
target are food and nonalcoholic drinks (45%).
As American steal daily essentials amid continual economic uncertainty, the U.S.
Federal Trade Commission recently revealed a probe into why grocery prices
remain high. Major grocery chains would be ordered to provide information on
their costs and prices on common products.
According to the LendingTree survey, shoplifters are most likely to hide the
items on their bodies (55%) or in purses or bags (36%), while 25% are bold
enough to walk out with their loot in plain sight.
Barely more than half (52%) of shoplifters said that
they got away with it, while 48% revealed that they were caught
red-handed. Of those caught, 33% were warned, 24% were arrested and 22% were
banned from the store.
Overall, 18% of Americans confided that today's antitheft technology doesn't
deter them from shoplifting.

The Latest Hot Topic: How Theft is Pushing
Shoppers From Store to Internet
Consumers may feel as though they are being treated
as potential thieves
Shoppers' Frustrations With Locked-Up Pharmacy Items Drives eCommerce Adoption
The rise in concerns about
shoplifting and
organized retail crime has compelled retailers to adopt more stringent
security measures. Products ranging from high-end cosmetics to everyday
essentials are now often encased in plastic or metal enclosures, accessible only
with the assistance of store personnel. While this approach may reduce shrink,
it also introduces a layer of friction into the shopping journey that can erode
customer loyalty.
Consumers may feel as though they are being treated as
potential thieves, leading to frustration and resentment. Moreover,
the need to locate a store associate to unlock items can be time-consuming and
disruptive. Shoppers accustomed to quick and convenient access to products now
face the inconvenience of locating store associates to unlock cases. This added
step can be frustrating, especially in stores with understaffed floors, leading
to longer wait times and potential abandonment of purchases.
For instance, a shopper needing a simple item like shaving cream might have to
wait several minutes for an employee to retrieve it. This delay not only
disrupts the shopping flow but also diminishes the overall customer experience.
In an era where convenience is paramount, such impediments can significantly
affect shopper satisfaction.
The long-term impact of locked cases on customer loyalty is a pressing
concern for retailers. Frictionless shopping experiences are critical
components of customer loyalty. PYMNTS Intelligence's report last year "Consumer
Inflation Sentiment: The False Appeal of Deal-Chasing Consumers" revealed
that, when buying non-grocery retail products, more two-thirds of shoppers cited
ease and convenience as key factors influencing their choice of merchant.

California's New Bill to Authorize Warrantless
Shoplifting Arrests
Bill to Make it Easier to Arrest Suspected Shoplifters Passes Assembly
Several weeks ago, the California State Assembly voted for a new bill that aims
at making the streets a little bit safer for everyone. Assembly Bill 1990 would
give police officers greater power in making arrests to prevent shoplifting
of property that exceeds $950.
This bill would authorize a peace officer to make a warrantless arrest for a
misdemeanor shoplifting offense not committed in the officers presence, if
the officer has probable cause to believe the crime occurred, per Digital
Democracy CA Matters.
Concerns have been raised within the last few years due to a recent spike in
crime and shoplifting that has occurred throughout the state of California,
primarily after the tumultuous years of the BLM riots and early onset of COVID.
Many locals have since been displeased with recent actions of the state
government and have called on more diligent efforts to curb the recent crime
wave, which has had a 6.1% increase in reported violent
crimes and 6.2% increase in property crime from 2021 to 2024, Safe
and Sound Security.
Shoplifting has been on the rise since a change in state law made it no
longer a felony to steal merchandise worth less than $1,000. In cities such
as El Cajon, rising homelessness and drug addiction
have also contributed to an increase in theft, often with suspects
picked up for misdemeanor shoplifting released shortly after their arrests.
Recent societal trends in the last several years have had unintended
consequences, such as an increase in crime in some major cities, and other
issues such as an unmitigated homeless epidemic have all contributed to
the desperation that many residents share.
Currently, Assembly Bill 1990 has passed the full Assembly and is heading to
a Senate committee for review.

Riots & Violence Hitting UK Retailers
UK: Store staff 'fearing for their safety' due to riots, says Retail Trust boss
The Retail Trust has seen a spike in calls
from retail staff "fearing for their safety following looting and vandalism in
shops across the country", according to the charity's chief executive Chris
Brook-Carter.
Brook-Carter said the trust has
set up a 24-hour
helpline for retail staff in the wake of a week's worth of far-right riots
and violence that have spread across England and Northern Ireland, in the
wake of the murder of three girls in Southport on July 29.
Since then, several high street retail stores have been targeted in the
violence including a Shoe Zone, Greggs, Lush and Specsavers in Hull, and a
Sainsbury's Local store in Manchester over the weekend.
"The Retail Trust is seeing a rise in calls from retail
staff fearing for their safety following looting and vandalism in shops across
the country and we are working closely with affected retailers to
ensure their colleagues are getting the support they need to deal with any
difficult experiences," Brook-Carter told Retail Week.
"We know there will be many more retail workers out there with worries and
concerns so we'd encourage anyone to call the Retail Trust's 24-hour
helpline on 0808 801 0808 if they need in-the-moment wellbeing support or
specialist help from our counselling team following incidents of in-store
violence, criminal damage or theft."
Lush said on Tuesday that its staff were "devasted" after the retailer's
store in Hull was attacked by looters.
"We are devastated at what has happened to our beautiful shop in Hull and how
our fellow retailers have also been treated," a spokesman said.

Fighting Crime is a Priority for Both
Political Parties
New Dems are laser-focused on fighting crime
The House of Representatives has a slate of
15 bills from the New Dems to fight crime & keep Americans safe
There's one group in Congress fighting hard to fund law enforcement, prevent
violent crimes, improve public safety and crack down on illicit drugs, but
it might not be who you think it is - it's the New Dems.
Who are the New Dems?
In the House of Representatives, there is a group of 100 center-left House
Democrats dedicated to breaking through partisanship to solve America's
most-pressing problems, including fighting crime and keeping our communities
safe. We're part of the New Democrat Coalition, or the New Dems.
How Congress is handling crime
Congress has failed to act, and we need solutions. That's why New Dems are
pushing for action on a slate of 15 bills that will strengthen law enforcement's
ability to both respond and address root causes of crimes, including
mental health disorders, illicit firearms and drugs, and empower people to make
their communities safer.
Addressing real issues Americans are facing
1. Law enforcement recruitment and retention
2. Supporting law enforcement with community
involvement
3. Combatting auto thefts
4. Commonsense gun reform

Organized Retail Theft Bills in California
California lawmakers are back in Sacramento for final month of legislative
session. Here's what we're watching
Democratic legislative leaders promised to pass a set of bills that attempt
to crack down on organized retail theft before they broke for summer recess,
but that didn't happen and those proposals now appear to be up in the air.
Newsom and lawmakers were trying to use those bills as bargaining chips to
prevent an initiative from landing on the ballot that broadly increases
penalties for drug and theft crimes. That initiative has qualified for the
ballot and voters will see it as Proposition 36 in November. Some Democrats have
warned the bills stacked with the initiative could result in too many people
being put behind bars.

Department Stores Being 'Outmaneuvered' &
'Left Behind'
Left Behind in the Retail Real-Estate Comeback: Department Stores
Rise of discounters and specialty stores are
forcing more of these shopping-mall anchors to close
Department stores are bleeding customers, and landlords no longer view
them as magnets for shoppers. Discounters are
underpricing them. Specialty stores are outmaneuvering them. And
luxury brands are sometimes bypassing department stores to open their own shops.
The surviving operators are making big moves in hopes of turning things
around. Saks Fifth Avenue's parent company is buying rival Neiman Marcus.
Nordstrom executives are exploring taking the company private. Macy's new chief
executive is closing stores while trying to improve the shopping experience at
its leaner fleet.
But department stores' long-term decline will be difficult to reverse.
Their sales peaked just before the turn of the century and have been on a
downward trajectory ever since, according to U.S. census data.
Department-store sales bounced back somewhat in 2021 and 2022 after plunging
at the start of the pandemic, but never recovered to 2019 levels. The
sector's sales fell last year and were basically flat in the first five months
of 2024.
Major department stores now occupy less than half of all anchor spaces at
enclosed shopping malls, real-estate firm Green Street said. There are
roughly 500 vacant department-store spaces nationwide, with more closures on the
way as
Macy's shutters 150 underperforming stores over the next three years.
Department stores' decline is a primary reason why regional malls-originally
designed to lure department stores out of America's urban downtowns-continue
to struggle even as other types of retail real estate
are reporting record-low vacancy rates.

Will Grocery Retailers Be the Next Target of
the FTC?
FTC chair presses for investigation into high grocery prices
Lina Khan said an inquiry would "shed light"
on why food prices and grocers' profits have stayed elevated even as inflation
has come down.
The
Federal Trade Commission's Chair Lina Khan has requested permission to launch
an inquiry into grocery prices, which have remained consistently high since
the COVID-19 pandemic.
Khan spoke Thursday at the first public meeting of the Strike Force on Unfair
and Illegal Pricing, which the FTC cohosted with the Department of Justice.
President Joe Biden announced the launch of the Strike Force back in March
to "strengthen interagency efforts to root out and stop illegal corporate
behavior" impacting consumers in the U.S.
Khan's inquiry request would "shed light" on why grocery prices and grocers'
profits remain so high when costs have appeared to come down, she said. The
FTC would be investigating to ensure "major businesses are not exploiting their
power" to keep prices elevated, "expose and crack down on any underhanded
tactics" potentially carried out by large companies and "stop any corporate
law-breaking that inflates costs for American families," Khan said.
"Many large grocery chains are still raking in enormous profits. The FTC is
determined to understand why," Khan said.

Malls Seeing Gains in Occupancy, Traffic &
Sales
Simon malls notch Q2 gains in occupancy, traffic and retail sales
But net operating income at the REIT's
retailer portfolio, which includes J.C. Penney, Gilt Groupe and the entity that
runs Forever 21, declined again.
Simon
Property Group on Monday reported increases in leasing volumes, occupancy,
shopper traffic and retail sales volumes, resulting in the highest level of Q2
real estate net operating income in its history.
The mall REIT in the period signed more than 1,400 leases, and 30% of its
leasing activity was new deal volume, CFO Brian McDade told analysts. Traffic
rose 5%, and total sales volumes rose about 2%.
Net operating income at its properties in North America rose 5.2% year over year
to $1.3 billion, according to a Q2 earnings supplement.
"Continued leasing momentum, resilient consumer spending, and operational
excellence delivered results exceeding our plan for the quarter," McDade said.

'Military-Grade Cybersecurity'
Why the market's most-regulated companies need military-grade cybersecurity
As cyberthreats become increasingly
sophisticated, regulated industries need to look at whether they're doing enough
to elevate their cybersecurity standards.
As organizations scramble to patch vulnerabilities caused by CrowdStrike's
massive IT outage on July 19, hackers are exploiting the situation by
impersonating CrowdStrike in phishing campaigns, posing as legitimate support
sources for affected businesses to gain unauthorized access to corporate
networks.
The CrowdStrike incident - which disrupted health care, airlines and financial
services, among others, and cost Delta Air Lines alone an estimated $500 million
- is a stark reminder that despite the advanced capabilities of leading
cybersecurity firms, vulnerabilities can and do occur, prompting an urgent
reassessment of current defenses, especially in regulated industries where
the stakes are exceptionally high and the threats ever evolving.
This brings a crucial question to the forefront: In an era where cyber threats
are becoming increasingly sophisticated and relentless,
are regulated industries doing enough to elevate their cybersecurity
standards?
Abed defines military-grade cyber defense as heavily proactive, emphasizing
prevention over detection through advanced threat intelligence, real-time data
analytics, machine learning, and predictive modeling. He says it also uses
the highest encryption standards and sophisticated access control systems, often
incorporating biometric verification and smart cards.
The implementation of military-grade cybersecurity is not without challenges.
High costs, the need for specialized personnel, and potential compatibility
issues with existing systems are significant hurdles that organizations must
consider.
The solution? A hybrid model, he says, makes the most sense.

2,750+ Ransomware Attacks in First Half of
2024
Ransomware swells despite collective push to curb attacks
Rapid7 researchers observed more than 2,570
ransomware attacks in the first half of 2024. That's the equivalent of 14
publicly claimed attacks per day, on average.
Ransomware groups initiated more than 2,570 attacks on organizations in the
first half of 2024, Rapid7 said in a
Tuesday report. This breaks down to 14 publicly claimed ransomware
attacks per day, according to Rapid7.
More
groups are conducting ransomware attacks and ramping up pressure on alleged
victims, as the number of ransomware groups posting to data leak sites
increased 67% during the six-month period ending in June. Rapid7 tracked an
average of 40 ransomware groups posting to data leak sites per month, a
jump from the 24 groups seen in the same period last year.
The number of posts on data leak sites grew too, reaching a total of 2,611
posts by 68 ransomware groups in the first half of the year, a 23% increase
over last year, according to Rapid7.
As the number of attacks continues to rise, the industry and law enforcement's
collective efforts to curb ransomware attacks are falling flat.
"While law enforcement efforts are making an impact (we see a drop in
LockBit activity in June related to this), the carrot still appears to be much
larger than the stick," Rapid7 researchers wrote in the report.

CrowdStrike rebukes Delta's negligence claims in fiery letter
After the airline said it was considering
legal action, CrowdStrike said Delta's contract capped the cybersecurity
provider's liability to "single-digit millions."
CrowdStrike struck back forcefully against Delta Air Lines' claims of
negligence and misconduct in a letter sent Sunday to the firm representing Delta,
signed by attorney Michael Carlinsky. It's the latest in what has become a
public dispute following recovery from the global CrowdStrike outage, which was
caused by a faulty software update pushed to Windows servers on July 19.
Delta was the hardest hit major airline carrier - its disruption lasted
longer and reached further than what United Airlines, American Airlines and
others experienced. As the airline grappled with the scale and length of the
outage, it moved to shift some of the blame publicly against the cybersecurity
provider.

Update on the Feds Effort to Rein in Amazon
After Google Antitrust Ruling, Here's Where Other Big Tech Cases Stand
The federal government has more lawsuits in
the pipeline trying to rein in the tech giants, including another antitrust case
against Google that goes to trial next month.
In September, the F.T.C. and 17 states sued Amazon, accusing it of protecting
a monopoly by squeezing sellers on its vast marketplace and favoring its own
services. The practices also harmed consumers, the F.T.C. argued, and
resulted in some cases of "artificially higher prices" because Amazon prevented
those selling goods on its site from offering the same products on other online
sites for less.
A judge in U.S. District Court for the Western District of Washington set the
trial for October 2026.
Amazon has asked the judge to dismiss the case and has argued that it
often offers low prices to consumers and doesn't hurt sellers on its
marketplace. The lawsuit shows a "fundamental misunderstanding of retail," the
company has argued.
The chair of the F.T.C., Lina Khan, who is famous in certain circles for
a 2017 Yale Law Journal antitrust paper on how to rein in Amazon, has vowed to
take on tech monopolies.
Amazon has described the lawsuit as "misguided" and warned that if the
F.T.C. prevailed, it would "force Amazon to engage in practices that actually
harm consumers and the many businesses that sell in our store."

It Pays for Retailers to Invest in Mobile Apps
What retailers are getting from investments in mobile apps
Retailers with mobile apps grew sales at a
significantly faster rate than those who didn't, according to data and analysis
in the 2024 Top 1000 Report.
Retailers continue to invest in their mobile app experiences, and the reasons
are clear. Mobile commerce spending in the U.S. reached $448 billion in 2023,
according to a Comscore report from earlier this year.
Still, not all retailers - even in the Top 1000, Digital Commerce 360's
database of retailers in North America ranked by annual web sales - sell
through their own mobile apps. This year, the 2024 Top 1000 Report broke
down what share of the highest-performing online merchants do use mobile apps,
plus how well those companies performed compared with those that had no apps.
How important are mobile apps for retailers?
First, it was clear that mobile presence was important for traffic. In
fact, 69.2% of web visits to the Top 1000 retailers' websites came from mobile
phones and tablets in 2023, based on Digital Commerce 360's analysis of
Similarweb data. That shows that accessibility on these devices is vital for
serving shoppers.
For retailers who had their own mobile apps, their median rank in the Top
1000 Database was 209. Compare that with the median rank of retailers
without apps, which was 584. In other words, retailers with their own mobile
apps sold more online - on average - which in turn helped them rank higher in
the database.

Tucson, AZ: 2 arrested in $2.3M, years-long retail theft operation
A years-long, $2.3 million retail theft operation has been cracked by a
multi-agency investigation, and two Northwest-side residents have been arrested,
according to a July 31 release from the Oro Valley Police Department. Nicholas
Miller, 42, of Marana, and alleged co-conspirator, Allison Hunt, 50, of Pima
County, have been booked into the Pima County Adult Detention Center. The
investigation is ongoing, and more arrests are expected, the release said.
Pending indictments may result in nearly 40 charges, among them fraud, money
laundering, organized retail theft, trafficking in stolen property and operating
an illegal enterprise, according to Darren Wright, spokesperson for Oro Valley
Police.
OVPD was notified in October 2023 that a local man was selling stolen
merchandise, obtained through retail thefts, to a company based in Connecticut.
Because stolen items were sold and transported across state lines, OVPD
conducted the investigation with federal Homeland Security Investigations and
U.S. Postal Inspectors. The probe was done in conjunction with the Arizona
Attorney General's Office. "These agencies worked in partnership with some of
the involved retailers to gather evidence of the operation believed to have been
occurring for over three years," the release said.
Trading cards, the memory supplement Prevagen, the allergy relief medication
Flonase, the stop-smoking aid Nicorette, Crest tooth-whitening strips, and Oral
B toothbrush replacement heads are examples of products stolen from retailers in
Oro Valley, as well as in Pima, Pinal and Maricopa counties, Wright said. In Oro
Valley, Walmart, Target, CVS, and Fry's were hit, and Safeway may have been
impacted, too. On Wednesday, July 24, search warrants were executed on two
residences, one in Marana, the other in Pima County, as well as a storage unit
and three vehicles. More than $9,000 worth of stolen merchandise was recovered,
along with tens of thousands of dollars' worth of collectible items. Miller and
other co-conspirators are suspected of stealing more than $2.3 million in
merchandise, the release said. Authorities believe Miller pocketed more than
$475,000 personally from the operation.

Nassau County, FL: Detective's errand leads to arrests in coordinated CVS theft
A routine trip for headache medication turned into a significant bust for one of
Nassau County Sheriff's Office detectives. On the afternoon of July 30, a
detective inadvertently thwarted a coordinated theft at a CVS Pharmacy on US
Highway 1 in Callahan. According to NCSO, the detective was drawn to a
suspicious Nissan Altima parked strategically for a quick getaway. His instincts
proved correct when he observed one of the four suspects entering the store with
an empty bag. Following the group inside, the detective watched the suspects
gather around the diabetic test strip aisle. Three of the individuals concealed
merchandise before all four exited the store. The detective then intercepted the
group in the parking lot. He blocked their vehicle with his unmarked car and
identified himself as law enforcement. Two suspects, Tide Hayward, 27, and
Eurando Jones, 41, initially resisted, prompting the detective to draw his
firearm as a precaution until backup arrived. With the arrival of additional
deputies, all four suspects were taken into custody without further incident.
The other two suspects were identified as Tieranie Daniels, 28, and Carlese
Mitchell, 29. All four individuals, residents of Jacksonville, have been charged
with felony retail theft.

handgun, fired and struck one of the individuals who then collapsed on scene,"
Vizcarra said. The suspect who was struck by gunfire was taken to the hospital,
where he later died. The shop owner was not injured.

Staten Island, NY: Man faces robbery charge in alleged attack on worker at Stop
& Shop on Staten Island
A 41-year-old man from Graniteville assaulted a worker and fled from police
officers last month at a store in his neighborhood, police allege. Isa Martin of
Lamberts Lane stands accused in the incident on July 18 around 3:40 p.m. at the
Stop & Shop located at 1441 Richmond Ave. near Akron Street, according to the
criminal complaint and police. According to cops, Martin removed dog food
without paying. The complaint alleges that Martin struck a 45-year-old male
store employee with a cell phone on the hand when the worker attempted to stop
him. As a result of the strike, the complaint alleges that the employee suffered
pain and bruising. When uniformed police officers tried to arrest Martin, the
suspect sent police on a foot pursuit through the woods and moved his body while
kicking his feet out in order to prevent officers from placing him under arrest,
the complaint alleges.

While progress is a slow process comprised of small intentional steps it
requires a deep focus and an unwavering commitment towards always accomplishing
the basics and integrating the change or evolution methodically. While your eyes
remain locked on your end result one must always look inward and be able to see
or realize the miss-steps or the mistakes along the way or else you'll never
reach the goal. Without the ability or willingness to admit self-failure
progress will always be elusive. For it is through failure that we learn how to
win and both play their equal parts in progress.
