This is part 2 of a 2 part series on shoplifting. In this article we will examine some of the more common techniques used to shoplift. Do everything possible to protect yourself and your business when opening a dollar store. Don't delay in preparing. In fact everything possible should be done prior to actually opening for business.

There are a number of ways that customers can and will shoplift. In fact the variety of techniques used is limited only by the creativity of the shoplifter. In many cases the method used depends on the size of the item being taken. Smaller items are either grabbed and then pocketed or placed into a bag, backpack or purse. There is also the method of knocking a number of items off the shelf, seemingly by accident, and then bagging items while replacing them. Often many of these items will end up in a pocket, including in hooded sweatshirt with the pockets in the front for both hands, or in larger purses.

Another method is making use of shopping bags from your store. These previously used shopping bags are used to carry items out without being stopped. This works well since most people just assume that the person has purchased the items that are contained inside the bags. Unless you have a security system with tagging and monitors at the exits, and the security alarms are then triggered, no one is the wiser when this method is used. This technique can be used with completely lifted merchandise. It can also be used when purchased items are combined with items that have not been paid for. In other words, a few unpaid for items are slipped in with the items that are paid for. Opening a dollar store means being vigilant to these commonly used methods and then putting protection in-place.

Another technique is when a customer comes in to your store. Next the customer picks up two items. One they open and place in a store bag. They then take both items to customer service or your cashiers and request an exchange without receipt, for a supposed defective item. They then walk out not only with a receipt but with the item. There are even more complex methods but they usually involve several different people and are not as common. Shoplifting on a small scale is usually done by a single person and involves the more common pocket and leave techniques.

Security tags will not always protect your items. Dressing rooms and out of the way places are perfect for people to open and remove the security tags from inside the items. They then simply place the items, usually minus the cases, into a bag or pocket.

When opening a dollar store business, become informed. It starts with being aware of the more common methods used. Next eliminate dimly lit, out of the way locations where it can most easily occur. Work with your commercial insurance carrier and the local authorities to gain a better education. Examine every option to reduce shoplifting in your store.

To your dollar store business success!

The Sarbanes Oxley Act of 2002 (S-Ox) and the Risks of Non-Compliance Because of Spam.

The Sarbanes Oxley Act was created to combat the rise of corporate fraud in the early part of the 21st century. In a nutshell, the act stipulates retention periods for electronic data (seven years), and mandates that companies must create, publish, and enforce detailed policies governing classification of, access to, and control over electronic data, which includes email messages.

S-Ox does not mention spam, spyware, or any other malware specifically, but it does address compliance issues that can arise because of these things. The intent behind the act is to ensure that companies retain data that may be important in resolving legal issues. Corporate policies must ensure that the data isn't lost or deleted; that security is in place to restrict data access to the parties that legitimately need it; and that the data can be searched and retrieved in meaningful ways when information is needed for an investigation. Spam can impact all of these priorities.

Retention Costs
Without ample spam filters in place, the storage costs of spam alone would be significant for mid-size or larger companies trying to keep every email for seven years, given that up to 90% of all emails coming from the internet are currently junk (Spamhaus).

Security
According to the FBI, 74% of documented cases of Internet and web-based crime used unsolicited email as the primary means to contact the victimized companies and individuals. Spam is the number one means of transmitting malicious viruses, worms, and trojans designed to steal confidential information. Failure to provide adequate protection against these threats, or at least make an earnest and informed effort to do so, would qualify as S-Ox non-compliance.

Access
Archives that are polluted with spam are more difficult to index by keyword, and more costly to search for relevant records in the event of an investigation.

Compliance with S-Ox and related regulations must be a serious concern to corporate policy-makers and IT departments. Penalties for non-compliance range from the loss of exchange listing to multimillion-dollar fines and imprisonment. Dealing effectively with spam should be a key piece of an overall compliance strategy.

Are you in a small or medium business drowning in spam? Are you using an anti spam product that does not eliminate 99.8% of the spam and/or removes legitimate messages that may cost thousands in lost opportunities?

The MX Police spam filter can allow you to deal with your business, not with your spam!

Supplie

In 1906, the residents of San Francisco, California, had an abrupt change of lifestyle. They learned that almost anything can happen without warning. An earthquake killed about 3,000 people and caused over $400 million in property damages. In 1920, the Gansu earthquake in China took about 200,000 lives. Then in 1948, the region around Ashgabat in the Soviet Union suffered a powerful quake that claimed over two-thirds of that city's population (110,000 people died).

About Earthquakes

The most powerful earthquake ever recorded happened in 1960 in Chile. Registering 9.5 on the Moment magnitude scale, it created a tsunami that swept the entire Pacific Ocean. In 1972, 90% of the city of Managua, Nicaragua, was destroyed by a midnight earthquake that killed over 10,000 people. Then in 1985, the Great Mexican Earthquake struck, killing as many as 30,000 people, most of whom were never found. In 1989, San Francisco and surrounding areas experienced the "World Series Quake."

In 2003, the Bam Citadel, the largest adobe structure in the world and built before 500 B.C. was almost completely destroyed, together with 70% of the city of Bam and 70,000 residents.

Most of them happen along what is known as the circum-Pacific seismic belt or the "Pacific Ring of Fire" bounding the Pacific tectonic plate. With high-population cities like Mexico City, Tehran, and Tokyo growing in areas of high risk, it is possible that a future earthquake could take as many as 3 million lives.

It's hard to understand why people insist on living in earthquake-prone areas like San Francisco and the mountains of central and South America. But in fact, earthquakes are a common phenomenon, small ones happening somewhere in the world every day. Characterized by shaking and ruptures in the land, earthquakes also cause dangerous avalanches and landslides, fires like the terrible 1906 San Francisco experience, soil liquefaction where buildings literally sink into the earth, and massive tsunamis. Because the damage they do is enduring, they also leave high risks for disease in their wake as people try to find potable water to drink and dry, safe places to sleep and live.

People who live in high-probability earthquake zones must live each day as it comes, knowing that their fragile lives could be over in an instant. Knowing that tragedy can strike at any time, they prepare for it.

Technology specialist Jason lives near the Marina, the most high-risk area in his city. He accepts graciously the fact that living there is a risk, but he always stores basic supplies for that inevitable crisis. He keeps several gallons of fresh water, portable food packs, extra flashlights and batteries, and several thing-a-magics that would overwhelm the technologically-challenged.

Earthquake Safety Tips

* Duck. Stay off heavy objects that may fall. Find an open area or stand in a doorway.

* If you can't get out of the building, seek protection under a heavy table.

* If you're driving when the earthquake strikes, stay inside your car.

* If you're in a mall or store, move away from shelving and other movable objects.

* In theaters and stadiums, duck under your seat and wait until the mob has largely left the area. Don't get caught up in the panic-filled crowds.

Another Word of Advice

Being well-prepared, having a plan of action, is the best way to prepare to survive an earthquake. Lacking this comfortable knowledge, you are more likely to panic and make deadly mistakes.

Know where strong, stable structures are that may provide shelter. Avoid areas of poor construction or materials. Stay calm. Stay alert. Things change very quickly, and you should be ready to respond.
