The U.S. Crime Surge
The Retail Impact
CORCA Awaits Senate Action
Retail Industry Renews Push for
CORCA as ORC Bill Awaits Senate Action
Months after overwhelmingly clearing
the House, the Combating Organized Retail Crime Act remains unfinished
business in Congress
 By
the D&D Daily staff
The retail industry is renewing its push for federal organized retail
crime legislation as the Combating Organized Retail Crime Act (CORCA)
remains awaiting action in the U.S. Senate.
The National Retail Federation sent a new letter to senators on Sept. 23
encouraging a vote on H.R. 2853, the latest effort by industry groups
to move the long-debated legislation across the finish line.
The House approved CORCA in May by a bipartisan 348-60 vote,
sending the measure to the Senate, where it was referred to the
Judiciary Committee. A Senate companion, S. 1404, has also attracted
bipartisan support.
CORCA is designed to strengthen the federal response to organized
retail and supply chain crime, particularly criminal operations that
cross state and jurisdictional lines.
 Among
its central provisions is the creation of a Supply Chain Crime
Coordination Center within the Department of Homeland Security,
intended to improve information sharing and coordination among federal,
state and local law enforcement agencies and private-sector partners.
The legislation would also strengthen tools for investigating and
prosecuting interstate theft, cargo crime and the movement and sale of
stolen merchandise.
Supporters have spent much of the summer searching for a path to Senate
passage, including efforts to advance CORCA through the Fiscal Year 2027
National Defense Authorization Act.
The legislation has also drawn opposition from civil liberties and
immigration advocacy organizations, which have raised concerns about
expanded information sharing and the role of Homeland Security
Investigations, an investigative arm of ICE. Supporters maintain that
CORCA is focused on organized retail and supply chain crime and does not
expand immigration-enforcement authority.
For retailers, the renewed September push comes as the legislative
calendar grows increasingly tight. CORCA has cleared the House, but
Senate action remains the key hurdle before the legislation can reach
the president’s desk.
Cargo Theft Costs Hit Millions
40% of loss prevention professionals report annual cargo theft losses
topping $1M
SmartSense survey finds fraudulent
pickups and carrier impersonation lead concerns as cargo theft grows
more organized
Cargo theft losses now reach at least $1 million annually for 40% of
leaders surveyed by SmartSense. Another 28% report yearly costs
exceeding $2 million from stolen freight. The study polled 150
U.S.-based loss prevention and organized retail crime professionals.
Results also show growing concern about criminals using coordinated
tactics against supply chains.
SmartSense by Digi released its Cargo Theft Report on Thursday. Coleman
Parkes conducted the research during August 2026. Participants
represented companies ranging from under $10 million to more than $10
billion in annual revenue. Their responsibilities included security,
logistics, risk management, distribution and organized retail crime
prevention.
The survey found 79% feel more concerned about cargo theft today than
ever before. Another 81% believe these crimes have become
increasingly organized during recent years. 63% report incidents
increased compared with last year. 80% indicate theft events caused lost
sales within their organizations.
Fraudulent pickups lead list of concerns
Criminal tactics extend beyond physically stealing a parked trailer,
according to the findings. Fraudulent pickups and carrier
impersonation ranked highest, drawing concern from 78% of participants.
GPS jamming or spoofing followed at 71%, while trailer theft reached
66%. Double brokering registered at 64% among those questioned.
Scott Glenn, vice president of asset protection
at The Home Depot, highlighted another vulnerability
surrounding freight movement. He pointed toward information criminals
can obtain through transportation or logistics systems. Access could
reveal shipment contents, destinations and expected arrival times. That
intelligence could give thieves details needed to select specific loads.
“Cargo theft is increasingly a cybersecurity issue as much as it is a
physical security issue,” Glenn stated. “If criminals gain access to
transportation or logistics systems, they can potentially identify what
is being shipped.” He added that compromised information could reveal
where cargo travels and when it should arrive. Glenn urged companies to
protect shipment data as seriously as the freight itself.

America’s Crime Rate Keeps Falling
Opinion: What to make of America’s falling crime rate
Experts say it has nothing to do
with politics
 Where
did all the criminals go? And, perhaps more importantly, did you notice
they were missing?
Jeff Asher, a crime statistics guru who co-founded the data firm AH
Datalytics, told the National Council of State Legislatures that
people tend to judge the crime rate by anecdotal evidence — what a
neighbor told them happened to an acquaintance or something they heard
happened nearby. Worse, they listen to politicians or judge that the
political party they oppose has made a practice of either coddling
criminals or abusing them.
And official statistics lag far behind current reality, as if many
people paid attention to official statistics, anyway.
And yes, crime is falling at a historic rate. At least, it is
according to incomplete statistics. And no, this trend can’t be
attributed to any one political party. Are Americans paying attention?
Are police departments learning from each other?
Why are so many crimes down? That’s a question local governments
should be asking, and they should insist on objective data. Crime is
down in cities run by Republicans and Democrats. After a spike during
the pandemic, cities and states tried a lot of things, and some of them
obviously worked.
Or maybe the nation is simply getting older. Crimes tend to be
perpetrated by younger people.
Whatever the reason, many of you probably haven’t been this safe from
murder in your lifetimes.

Shoplifters Go Viral
Drone Video Of Shoplifters Narrated Like It’s National Geographic Goes
Viral
A video on Instagram by Valuetainment has gone viral, showing footage
that was shot by a drone of two women running in a parking lot after
shoplifting from a store, with voiceover narration that parodies
that of a nature documentary.
The video starts with a shot of the two women running away just
outside a Ross store, carrying some bags. The drone is at eye level.
However, soon after, the drone gets higher, filming the two women from
above as they continue to run.
Quickly, a possibly AI-generated David Attenborough-style narration
voiceover begins. "Here we have two North American grabbers, fresh
from a successful hunt," it says, parodying the way animal species
are named and introduced in wildlife documentaries.
"Their bags are full, but their journey has only just begun," it
continues, as the women go further into the parking lot and begin to run
between cars.

Turning LP Into Margin Opportunity
CFOs have a margin opportunity in loss prevention
In this guest piece, Andrew Weeks,
CFO of Appriss Retail, discusses the opportunity that retail finance
leaders have to turn loss prevention into a measurable source of margin
improvement.
Issues like theft, administrative errors, returns and more have
historically been viewed as a cost of doing business in retail, and
many organizations today still choose to live with the losses. For that
reason, loss prevention (LP) teams can often be looked at as more of a
security function, as opposed to a growth driver.
But it’s time for CFOs to stop thinking of shrink as a
department-by-department problem and burden of the LP team alone.
Shrink and returns need to be addressed as part of a holistic, total
retail loss concern that’s impacting the bottom line.
CFOs can foster a new approach to loss prevention that doesn’t
limit shrink and returns to case counts and return rates. It views them
in terms of gross margin, inventory valuation and more. It’s about
turning LP into a margin opportunity.
Viewing shrink and returns as a growth
opportunities
In quarterly reports and on earnings calls, retailers are
increasingly talking about retail losses in the same language they use
for other margin levers. It’s a sign that companies want to address
returns and retail loss and uncover ways to build business.
In the UK, the fishing tackle retailer Angling Direct reported that its
UK gross margin increased 130 basis points to 38% in fiscal 2026. The
company attributed the improvement to factors including its product mix
of own brands, supplier terms and service revenue, while noting that
increased promotional activity and shrinkage partially offset those
gains. Dollar General in the US reported Q4 gross margin expanded 105
basis points, with lower shrink among the primary drivers.
These two examples highlight perfectly why organizations should view
LP as a P&L problem. And they showcase the right language to do it
in, meaning CFOs are playing a significant role in changing how
companies manage retail loss and shrink. They can become internal
leaders, championing how to catch and prevent shrink and returns as a
way to boost margin.

Will NYC's City-Run Grocery Stores Get
Off the Ground?
ICYMI: Mamdani hit with fed lawsuit over city-run grocery stores
New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani's plans to create a chain of
government-run grocery stores are facing another lawsuit claiming the
move is illegal.
In the lawsuit, filed in U.S. District Court on Wednesday, lawyers for
the National Supermarket Association and a group of New York grocery
store owners allege that the administration's plan to roll out five
city-funded stores would undercut local competitors, in violation of
federal antitrust laws.
The plaintiffs ask a federal judge to rule that the government-run
stores violate federal antitrust laws and block Mamdani's plan for the
stores to sell items at discounts of up to 30% off retail prices.
"A tax-supported discount designed to undercut competitors is precisely
the type of predatory pricing scheme prohibited by the Nation's
antitrust laws," the plaintiffs wrote in the complaint.
The association, which represents 450 independent grocery stores in
New York City, filed the complaint with the America First Policy
Institute, a conservative nonprofit chaired by Larry Kudlow,
President Donald Trump’s former senior economic advisor.
The lawsuit comes two weeks after a group of New York City bodega
owners sued the Mamdani administration in state court over his proposed
government-run grocery chains, claiming it would hurt immigrant and
minority-owned businesses.
The Multicultural Business Coalition, a nonprofit group that represents
hundreds of small businesses, filed the lawsuit in state Supreme Court
alleging that the Mamdani administration doesn't have the legal
authority to create the stores. The outcome of that case is still
pending.

Overdoses in the Workplace
OSHA Issues Guidance for Opioid Emergencies
"It is critically important that the
American workforce is familiar with drug overdose recognition and
reversal," said White House Drug Czar Sara Carter.
Last week, OSHA released information to help employers and workers
rapidly respond to opioid-related overdose emergencies in the
workplace.
OSHA’s new guidance, “Opioid Overdose Rescue with Reversal Medications,”
is part of the Great American Recovery Initiative, a government-wide
effort by the Trump Administration prioritizing addiction treatment and
recovery.
“Because fentanyl has infiltrated the illicit drug landscape and acts as
a chemical weapon against our people, it is critically important that
the American workforce is familiar with drug overdose recognition and
reversal," said White House Drug Czar Sara Carter in a statement.
The fact sheet provides practical information that focuses on
empowering workplaces to recognize the signs of an overdose and act
immediately. It highlights key opioid overdose preparedness
strategies, including:
-
Keep lifesaving FDA-approved reversal
medications on hand.
-
Treat overdose
kits like first aid.
-
Educate workers
on how to identify critical symptoms of an overdose.
-
Prepare for
rapid action in an emergency.

Security Leaders Fight Deepfake
Attacks
Deepfakes become a board priority once an executive falls for one
Nearly three-quarters of security leaders have encountered or suspect
a deepfake attack in the past year, while just 10% say their
organizations have purpose-built defenses, according to Pindrop’s 2026
Deepfake Readiness Index.
Real-time communications have become a target for deepfake and AI
impersonation attacks. Phone calls to IT help desks, remote job
interviews, and video meetings give attackers opportunities to pose as
people an organization trusts. Identity controls were not designed to
determine whether the person speaking or appearing in a live interaction
is genuine.
“Attackers have figured out that one of the easiest ways around
sophisticated security controls is to impersonate the human those
controls are designed to trust. Deepfakes turn our most instinctive
signals of identity, a familiar face and voice, into an attack surface.
Enterprises need to bring the same rigor used to secure systems and
devices to the live human interactions where critical decisions are
being made,” said Elie Khoury, SVP of Research at Pindrop.
Despite low adoption of purpose-built defenses, 74% of security
leaders believe defenses will improve faster than attack quality.
Of the organizations that experienced or suspected a deepfake attack,
nearly half reported total costs of $500,000 or more, including direct
losses, remediation, and staff time. About a quarter reported costs
of at least $1 million. Forty-nine percent reported follow-on
cyberattacks, including ransomware. Respondents also reported data
breaches, lost revenue, exposure of sensitive information, and stolen
funds.
Three-quarters of respondents said deepfakes would become a boardroom
priority only after a leader at their organization was personally
fooled or impersonated. Viewing deepfakes primarily as a reputational
risk for public figures and celebrities can delay investment in
enterprise defenses.
Thirty-seven percent of respondents said the damage from a single
deepfake attack could put a company like theirs out of business.
That includes 17% who considered this outcome extremely likely or
certain.

Help Junior Cybersecurity Workers
Cybersecurity hiring practices leave little room for junior talent
Twenty-minute training sessions that fit into the workweek could help
new hires become productive sooner, keep employees’ skills current
and build problem-solving skills they can use across different tools,
according to SkillBit’s The Shift to Continuous Cybersecurity
Micro-Training report.
More than 80% of executives surveyed used their full 2025 training
budgets. Experience requirements can limit the pool of junior
cybersecurity candidates. Seventy percent of organizations have no
junior roles, or very few, that they can fill with candidates who have
less than two years of experience. Thirty percent of leaders said they
were receptive to using interactive labs in place of experience
credentials, while another 49.5% were open to the idea if shown evidence
that it works.
57% of executives reported that new hires take an average of six
months to reach full proficiency. General IT knowledge and
cybersecurity processes were the most cited causes of delays. Shortening
the time to proficiency could reduce costs and improve team readiness.
Seventy-one percent of security leaders said they would prefer
20-minute online or interactive sessions each week to training that
requires 30 to 40 hours once or twice a year.
Urgent daily tasks are a leading reason employees miss
development goals. Respondents also cited too much vendor training, time
away from the office, concerns about wasting time and training they do
not enjoy.

Using ChatGPT to Trick Users
Malicious Custom GPT on chatgpt.com lures users into installing a RAT
Malware peddlers are using sponsored Google results to push a
malicious ChatGPT Custom GPT named “Plus 5.6,” created to lead users
to a fake Cloudflare CAPTCHA check and, ultimately, make them download
and run a remote access trojan (RAT).
“The campaign has impacted dozens of users: the Huntress SOC has
responded to at least 40 incidents stemming from the specific Google
Sites domain involved in this attack, and confirmed that two of these
incidents came through a Custom GPT instance,” Huntress researchers
warned.
This malware delivery campaign was spotted in late September.

AI Shopping Surges
Adobe sees AI-driven retail traffic surging as paid search growth slows
AI-driven traffic to U.S. retail websites is expected to surge 130%
this holiday season, outpacing growth in paid search and signaling a
shift in how shoppers discover products, Adobe forecast on Monday.
Traffic referred by AI tools is expected to rise 159% on
Thanksgiving, 95% on Black Friday and 88% on Cyber Monday, Adobe
said. Paid search traffic, by contrast, is forecast to grow just 4%,
while social media traffic is expected to increase 17%.
The shift comes as shoppers increasingly use AI to research and
compare products. In a July survey of 5,000 consumers, 77% of
respondents who had used AI for online shopping said it increased their
confidence in purchases, while 69% said it made them less likely to
return items.
Adobe forecast U.S. online holiday sales of $275.1 billion from Nov.
1 through Dec. 31, up 6.7% from a year earlier. Cyber Week, covering
Thanksgiving through Cyber Monday, is expected to generate $47.5
billion, up 7.4% and accounting for about 17% of the season’s spending.
Cyber Monday is forecast to remain the biggest online shopping day,
with sales of $15.1 billion, up 6.2%. Black Friday sales are expected to
grow faster, rising 9.2% to $12.9 billion, helped by deeper discounts on
electronics, apparel and appliances.
Thanksgiving online sales are forecast to reach $6.9 billion, up 8.5%,
with mobile devices accounting for a record 63% of spending that day.
Buy Now, Pay Later spending is expected to reach $21.3 billion in
November and December, up 6.6%. Cyber Monday BNPL spending is
forecast at $1.09 billion, marking the second straight year it has
exceeded $1 billion, while Black Friday is expected to generate $807
million.
Mobile devices are expected to account for 57.4% of overall holiday
online spending and 82% of BNPL transactions, highlighting the
growing importance of mobile checkout and financing options for
retailers.

$275B Online Spending Surge
Consumers aren’t just buying gifts this holiday season. They’re stocking
up on essentials.
Total online spend in the U.S. will
top $275 billion, according to Adobe, but many will use the season to
stock up on necessities.
U.S. online sales for the 2026 holiday season, which runs between
Nov. 1 and Dec. 31, are expected to grow 6.7% year over year to
$275.1 billion, according to the latest data from Adobe.
For Cyber Week, which is the five-day period between Thanksgiving and
Cyber Monday, online sales are expected to be up 7.4% year over year
to $47.5 billion, with Cyber Monday projected to set a new U.S.
e-commerce record and bring in more than $15 billion online in a single
day, representing a 6.2% year-over-year uptick.
Black Friday spending is growing more quickly than Cyber Monday,
and is expected to be up 9.2% to $12.9 billion, representing the
second-biggest single day of U.S. holiday spend. It will be buoyed by
hefty discounts on big-ticket items including televisions and
appliances, as well as apparel sales.

Orem, UT: Florida man investigated in multiple Utah Lego thefts is
arrested in Idaho
A 45-year-old Florida man recently arrested in Idaho is suspected of
stealing Lego sets from Walmart stores across Utah. Kenneth Huffstutler,
of Gotha, Florida, was recently charged in southern Utah's 5th District
Court with retail theft, a class A misdemeanor. But according to a
search warrant affidavit filed by Orem police, Huffstutler is suspected
of committing the same crime at Walmart stores in Washington City,
Hurricane, Spanish Fork, Springville, Riverdale, Ogden and Spanish Fork.
On Sept. 4, Orem police were called to a Walmart regarding the theft of
five Lego sets. As Huffstutler was leaving the store, he allegedly
showed a store employee "a fraudulent receipt stating he purchased the
items at the back of the store. The receipt was convincing enough (that
Huffstutler was told) he was free to leave," the affidavit states. But
investigators later reviewed store surveillance video and observed the
man's modus operandi.

Nassau County, FL: Deputies Say He Pushed Carts of High-Priced LEGO Sets
Through Target Fire Exits
An Arrest Affidavit Says He Admitted Reselling Them at Half Price. A
Florida retail-theft investigation that began with repeated thefts of
high-priced LEGO sets from a Target now spans two open felony cases
after deputies arrested a man following a U-Haul pursuit. Ronald Lorne
Tipton Jr., 35, was arrested Sept. 15 after Nassau County Sheriff's
Office investigators linked him to three earlier incidents at the Target
on State Road 200 in Yulee and then encountered him during another
alleged theft at a nearby Walmart. An arrest affidavit filed in Nassau
County court records says Tipton later identified himself in photographs
from the Target surveillance footage and admitted selling stolen LEGO
sets to a man in Jacksonville for 50% of their retail price. The same
affidavit attributes exactly $3,149.87 in Target losses to Tipton's own
alleged thefts.
