The Retail Impact
Shoplifting Surges 45% in Chicago
Illinois retailers, communities suffer from shoplifting and robbery spikes
Business owners and taxpayers are paying a big price for retail theft. According
to
CWBChicago, shoplifting reports have soared 45%
this year, making 2024 the worst year for retail theft in the city
since at least 2003. Illinois Retail Merchants Association President and CEO Rob
Karr told The Center Square that the burglaries and thefts are troubling.
"It continues to create significant financial and psychological harm not
only to the people who own and manage the businesses, but to the people who work
there. It is a clear factor in hiring difficulties, particularly within
the city of Chicago, as people are worried about their own safety," Karr said.
Capital One Shopping estimated that Illinois lost nearly $3 billion in
revenue to theft in 2022. The retail thefts cost Illinois an estimated $185
million in tax revenue. Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker signed legislation in 2022
that gave the Illinois Attorney General and other law enforcement agencies
more tools against organized retail theft.
Karr and the Illinois Retail Merchants Association supported House Bill 1091,
which was also known as the INFORM Act. The law took effect on January 1,
2023.
Despite rising numbers of reported thefts, Karr said there may not be any need
for new laws.
"In terms of policy, I think the policies are in place to do this. Could
there be tweaks? Maybe, but let's give the opportunities for the changes
that were made to fully take effect," Karr explained.
Illinois Restaurant Association President and CEO Sam Toia provided The Center
Square with a statement, saying, "Crime is an issue here in Chicago and in
all urban areas throughout the United States. We
would love to see more presence of officers and security guards
throughout our 77 communities. Officer presence serves as a strong deterrent."
CWBChicago suggested that increased crime reporting may be contributing to
the surge of shoplifting cases in Chicago. In addition, CWB data and police
records show that proximity to migrant shelters may be
contributing to increases at some stores.

The Theft-Fueled Shopper Exodus
Locking up items to deter shoplifting is pushing shoppers online
Locking up merchandise at drugstores and discount retailers hasn't curbed
retail theft but is driving frustrated consumers to shop online more, retail
experts tell Axios.
Why it matters: Retail crime is eating into
retailers' profits and high theft rates are also leading to a rise in store
closures. Secured cases can cause sales to drop 15% to 25%, Joe Budano,
CEO of anti-theft technology company Indyme, previously told Axios.
The big picture: Aisles full of locked
plexiglass cases are common at many CVS and Walgreens stores where consumers
have to wait for an employee to unlock them. Target, Walmart, Dollar General
and other retailers have also pulled back on self-checkout to deter
shoplifting.
Amazon CEO Andy Jassy spoke of the "speed and ease" of ordering online versus
walking into pharmacies on a call with investors last week. "It's a pretty
tough experience with how much is locked behind cabinets, where you have to
press a button to get somebody to come out and open the cabinets for you," Jassy
said.
CVS spokesperson Amy Thibault told Axios that the chain uses "a variety of
different measures to deter or prevent theft and locking a product is a
measure of last resort." "Different products experience different theft
rates, depending on store location and other factors, and our product protection
decisions are data driven," Thibault said.
But there is some debate about how deep the problem is and if retailers are
using theft as a scapegoat for other challenges.

Retail Theft Bills Finally Advance After Month
of Stalling
California lawmakers move forward with stalled set of retail theft bills
The bills had been stalled for more than a month after Democratic leaders
unsuccessfully tried to use it as a bargaining chip to
negotiate the crime-related initiative off of the November ballot.
Lawmakers from both sides of the aisle seemed relieved the bills were making
progress again.
"I have met with many groups in my community from police chiefs, small
business owners who really need us to step up on this issue and I'm so proud
we're pushing this package forward," said State Sen. Susan Rubio, D- West
Covina.
In the state senate, debate was brief. Some Democrats were divided over
one of the bills that creates a new crime for organized
retail thieves.
"This measure and others like it are making our communities unsafe because these
measures deepen mass incarceration," said State Sen. Lola
Smallwood-Cuevas, D- Los Angeles.
"I firmly believe that our communities no matter if you live in the Humboldt
coast or down in Temecula- your community will be safer based off of the
action that was taken by the legislature," said Senate Pro Tem Mike McGuire
after the votes.
Republicans are bracing for Democrats to use the bills to campaign against
the ballot initiative now known as Proposition 36. The initiative asks
Californians to raise penalties for repeat thieves
and fentanyl dealers.
Lawmakers are expected to send the bills to the governor's desk on Monday.

Retail Security Tax Credit Hopes to Push
Stores to Invest in Security
What Retailers Need to Know About Using New York's Retail Security Tax Credit
On
April 20, 2024, the New York State legislature passed its annual budget measure
for fiscal year 2025, which addresses multiple priorities and enacts key
proposals from Governor Kathy Hochul. Of significance to New York business
owners, workers and consumers, the measure includes a
new Retail Security Tax Credit, which for tax years 2024 and 2025
will provide assistance to businesses for investing in necessary equipment to
protect their employees and merchandise.
The introduction of the Retail Security Tax Credit is a significant step
toward addressing the growing issue of retail theft in New York State. Each
year, retailers throughout the state of New York lose around $4.4 billion from
various kinds of thefts. The financial burden of theft on retailers is
substantial, and this tax credit aims to alleviate some of that pressure by
incentivizing businesses to invest in robust security measures. By doing so,
it not only helps protect the merchandise but also ensures the safety of
employees and customers.
Moreover, the comprehensive approach taken by Gov. Hochul's administration,
which includes increased penalties for offenders and enhanced support for law
enforcement, underscores the seriousness with which the state is tackling
organized retail crime. The budget agreement includes the new tax credit among
Gov. Hochul's five-point policy plan aimed at creating more secure
environments for both businesses and consumers.
To be eligible for this tax credit, a business must meet these requirements:

Here's why thieves are stealing Lego sets
Legos are popular among thieves because of
their street value. The toys are easy to sell and hard to trace.
Police say Legos are being targeted by both organized crime rings and
individual shoplifters. Often, thieves steal to feed a drug habit. "They
need to get cash every day to get their next fix," said Chief Andrew Shearer of
the Springfield Police Department. "You have to turn
and burn and steal things to make cash to buy the drugs."
Legos are popular among thieves because of their street value. The toys are
easy to sell and hard to trace. Police reports showed stolen Lego sets
listed on Facebook Marketplace and other online platforms. Often, they can be
resold at close to the retail price, if in mint condition and unopened.
Some were sophisticated operations involving criminals who swapped out bar
codes, while other criminals just walked out the front door.
Many large retailers lock up their Lego sets or use anti-theft devices,
such as spider wrap. Spider wrap prevents thieves from opening Lego sets and
removing the pieces. It also contains a device that can be detected by monitors
located near the store entrance or exit in the event someone tries to steal the
box of Legos.
Consumers can help too. Deeply discounted or suspicious-looking Lego sets
found online or elsewhere are probably stolen, so don't buy them.

Big Lots is on the Brink - 315 Closures
Possible
Is Bargain Hunting Enough To Keep Big Lots Afloat?
Big Lots is celebrating National Bargain Hunting Week from Aug. 12-18,
2024, with daily "Bargain of the Day" offers featuring discounts of 20% to 75%
on items like furniture, pet accessories, and personal care products. The event
coincides with National Smile Week, a connection inspired by Debbie Keri-Brown,
who created National Bargain Hunting Week to reflect the joy of finding deals.
Big Lots aims to attract savvy shoppers with new closeouts, overstocks, and
liquidations.
Holding this promotion will hopefully prove valuable to Big Lots' branding
and relevance and help bring it back to the forefront of consumers' minds as
a premiere discount retailer.
But Big Lots is on the verge of bankruptcy. The retailer is struggling
financially and originally planned to close 35 to 40 stores this year amid
concerns about a potential bankruptcy filing. Now, according to a regulatory
filing, the company has increased this number to as
many as 315 stores across the country.
"While the majority of our stores are profitable, we have made the difficult
decision to close certain underperforming stores," a company spokesperson
said, as reported by CBS News.

Another Business Facing Political Backlash
With the election only a few months away, tensions
are high
Dunkin' Donuts boycott launched by MAGA influencers. Here's what to know
The boycott started after Chris Pavlovski, CEO of Rumble Video, posted to the
social media site X on Wednesday what he claimed were emails from Inspire
Brands/Dunkin' Donuts. Inspire Brands acquired Dunkin' Donuts in December
2020.
Pavolovski wrote on X that "Inspire Brands / Dunkin Donuts didn't want to
advertise on Rumble because of "right-wing culture." He said his response
was, "No, we don't discriminate. All cultures are welcome on Rumble."
The alleged response from Inspire Brands/Dunkin' Donuts states, "We are open to
continuing discussion as the site evolves! I am sorry to share that because I
want to help."

The End of the Fast Food Era?
Fast Food and Restaurant Price Wars Continue On
The fast-food price wars are continuing to rise as "restaurant CEOs have
become obsessed with the word "value" in explaining to investors why their
sales lagged this quarter while sharing plans to revive traffic in the coming
months," according to CNBC.
The
dining out landscape is shifting as fast food's dominance diminishes. In
New York City, the cost of fast food meals has surged to nearly $14, prompting
chain restaurants to offer more attractive promotions. For example, Chili's has
introduced a "3 for Me" combo for $10.99, and other chains like Applebee's, Red
Lobster, and Outback Steakhouse are promoting value-driven deals to compete with
rising fast-food prices.

Theft & Fraud Top Challenges for Food
Retailers
Study reveals theft and fraud remain top challenges for food retailers
As food retailers continue to grapple with challenges that impact the bottom
line, a study conducted by Coresight Research found that theft and fraud
remain top concerns for food retailers.
Coresight Research said that, according to the Food Industry Association,
85% of food retailers report theft or fraud (shrink) as
the top threat that negatively impacted their businesses last year.
Consumers have also noticed an uptick in theft. Coresight Research found that
27% of consumers report they have personally witnessed shoplifting as of May
2024, compared with just 18% in July 2023.
However, extra security measures could lead to shoppers taking their business
to another store, the report says.
The Coresight Research study indicated that a significant portion of U.S.
shoppers are deterred by aggressive security measures, such as locked
items, which can push them toward alternative shopping locations or channels -
with 23% saying they would shop at another store and 25% saying
they would just shop online if a retailer
put in security measures like locking up products or moving them into cases.
The report says that retail shrink through theft continues to be a persistent
and intensifying headwind for retailers globally. Shoplifting and organized
crime negatively impact retail margins and, as such, have become a growing focus
for the sector.

Was Neiman Marcus Negligent with
Cybersecurity?
Neiman Marcus class action lawsuit claims retailer failed to protect customers
from data breach
Reichbart claims the company was negligent
with its cybersecurity, leading to a data breach.
Neiman Marcus and Snowflake have been hit with a class action lawsuit
claiming they mishandled customer information, leading
to a major data breach.
Plaintiff Marc Reichbart filed the class action complaint against Neiman Marcus
Group LLC and its cloud storage vendor, Snowflake Inc., on Aug. 1 in a Florida
federal court, alleging violations of state and federal consumer protection
laws.
Reichbart alleges the companies failed to secure and protect the personally
identifiable information (PII) of millions of customers, including names,
emails, addresses, phone numbers, dates of birth, Social Security numbers,
credit card details, transaction data, and employee identification numbers.
Neiman Marcus Group, which is known for its luxury retail brands Neiman Marcus
and Bergdorf Goodman, had entrusted Snowflake Inc. with its data storage,
the lawsuit states.
The breach was part of a larger hacking campaign affecting hundreds of
Snowflake's clients, and exposing the PII of approximately 31 million
customers, Reichbart says.
He claims that Neiman Marcus required customers to provide their data during
transactions, with the promise of safeguarding this sensitive information.
The breach was discovered on May 20, 2024. topclassactions.com
The Massive Financial Impact of the
CrowdStrike Outage
Delta expects $380M revenue hit due to CrowdStrike outage
The company said it canceled 7,000 flights
in five days due to the IT outage, according to a Thursday filing with the
Securities and Exchange Commission.
Delta
Air Lines expects the CrowdStrike outage to cost it $380 million in revenue
for its September quarter, driven by customer refunds and compensation
through cash and SkyMiles, the company said in a Thursday securities filing.
The airline canceled 7,000 flights in five days in the aftermath of a
sweeping IT outage caused by a faulty CrowdStrike update last month,
disrupting the travel plans of 1.3 million customers. "We are pursuing legal
claims against CrowdStrike and Microsoft to recover damages caused by the
outage, which total at least $500 million," Delta said in the filing.
Delta expects roughly $170 million tied to customer expense reimbursements
and crew-related costs, though it did report saving $50 million in fuel expenses.
"An operational disruption of this length and magnitude is unacceptable, and our
customers and employees deserve better," CEO Ed Bastian said in the filing.

Password Managers Continue to Face Attacks
Critical 1Password flaws may allow hackers to snatch your passwords
Two vulnerabilities (CVE-2024-42219, CVE-2024-42218) affecting the macOS version
of the popular 1Password password manager could allow malware to steal
secrets stored in the software's vaults and obtain the account unlock key,
AgileBits has confirmed.
"An attacker is able to misuse missing macOS specific inter-process validations
to hijack or impersonate a trusted 1Password integration such as the 1Password
browser extension or CLI," the company says. CVE-2024-42218 may allow
attackers to bypass macOS-specific security mechanisms by using outdated
versions of the 1Password for Mac app.
"To exploit the issue, an attacker must run malicious software on a computer
specifically targeting 1Password for Mac. If an attacker is able to load an
old version of 1Password on a user's computer, they could then access 1Password
associated secrets stored in the macOS Keychain," the advisory notes.

Chicago, IL: Brazen Smash-and-Grab Strikes Prada Amid Chicago DNC Preparations
The dramatic streets of Chicago turned chaotic early Saturday morning when a
group of thieves executed a brazen smash-and-grab heist at the iconic Prada
store located on the city's lavish Gold Coast. This audacious theft happened
just days before the city gears up as the host for the 2024 Democratic National
Convention (DNC), set to take place from August 19 to 22. The smash-and-grab
incident raises not only alarm bells for local law enforcement but also
significant concerns about security and crime as the city prepares for the
influx of thousands of visitors. According to the Chicago Police Department, the
strike occurred at approximately 5:30 AM, with three to four masked individuals
smashing through the front glass door of the luxury retailer. Eyewitness reports
highlighted the rapidity of the incident, with thieves shaking off security
measures, shattering display windows, and quickly absconding with merchandise
worth thousands of dollars.

Los Angeles, CA: $100,000 in Sneakers and Apparel Stolen from South LA Store,
Police Probe Possible Link to Encino Burglary
Early Friday morning, a South Los Angeles sneaker store fell victim to a
high-stakes burglary, with thieves making off with an estimated $100,000 in
merchandise and cash. According to CBS News Los Angeles, the affluent sneaker
outpost known as Rich LA, stationed in the 2100 block of West Century Boulevard,
was breached by at least five masked suspects around 3:25 a.m. The coordinated
theft involved cutting through the store's metal security gate, shattering the
glass window, and quickly absconding with high-end shoes and clothes. Reports
suggest the culprits managed to swiftly load up a white Mercedes-Benz, a silver
Camaro, and a white Corvette with the stolen goods-all devoid of license plates.
This recent affront marks the seventh instance Rich LA has been robbed since its
opening a mere two months prior. "They just broke in here and took a lot of
stuff, shoes, clothes - high-end clothes," an employee named Kate told CBS.

Los Angeles County, CA: Attempted robber fatally shot by Norwalk store owner
identified as Oakland resident
An armed would-be robber who was shot to death by the owner of a Norwalk tobacco
shop has been identified Saturday as an Oakland resident. The attempted robbery
occurred at about 9 a.m. Tuesday in the 10900 block of East Firestone Boulevard,
near the San Gabriel River Freeway, according to the Los Angeles County
Sheriff's Department. The man who was fatally shot in the torso was identified
by the Sheriff's Information Bureau as 25-year-old Rodney Gaston. Homicide
investigators determined that Classic Tobacco was opening a business for the day
when Gaston entered armed with a handgun, along with two others, then
pepper-sprayed the owner, prompting him to fire once from his own handgun,
striking Gaston. The three suspects fled, but Gaston collapsed to the ground a
short distance away from the store. Los Angeles County Fire Department personnel
found him and transported him to a hospital, where he was later pronounced dead.
The other two suspects fled into a residential area northeast of the shopping
center, where Norwalk Station deputies later located and arrested them. They
were identified as 22-year-old Lamont Neal of Stockton and 26-year-old Dashaunte
Woods of Oakland. SIB confirmed the three men were acting in collaboration.

Centennial, CO: 2 sought for stabbing, robbery at Centennial Walmart
The
Arapahoe County Sheriff's Office is searching for a pair of alleged shoplifters
after a stabbing and robbery at a Walmart in Centennial. The sheriff's office
said the incident occurred at about 5:30 p.m. at the Walmart in the 16700 block
of East Smoky Hill Road. The agency said a male employee confronted a woman
who was reportedly shoplifting, following her out to her car in an attempt to
get the alleged stolen items back. A man got out of the vehicle the woman was
going to and stabbed the male employee in the arm. The couple then left in
an early 2000s silver Toyota sedan with no license plates, according to the
Arapahoe County Sheriff's Office. Deputies searched the area but did not locate
the vehicle. Both suspects were described as white and in their 30s, and a
surveillance image of the woman was provided. She reportedly has purple hair.

Listening and hearing what your internal customers are saying is critical if you
expect to be successful with any program or project. Oftentimes, the speed of
delivery negatively impacts the process of success and keeps us from hearing
exactly what we need to hear when we so passionately roll out our programs and
projects. After testing and reviewing our plans and being so committed to our
beliefs, we oftentimes don't hear our retail partners once we've committed
ourselves to a specific path. And sometimes it's not what they say that's
important as much as what they don't say or as much as what they quietly say
beneath their breath or maybe even how they react. Whenever you're rolling out a
new program or project, use those interrogative skills, in a positive way, and
read the reactions of your internal customers because they will determine the
success regardless of how good it is.
