A recent Lending Tree shoplifting survey revealed some surprising results:

• The most-shoplifted items are food and, counterintuitively, nonalcoholic drinks.
• Nearly all recent shoplifters (90%) reported stealing due to inflation and economic hardship.
• Shoplifters are more likely to steal from large chain stores (52%) than mom-and-pop shops (28%).
• Nearly half of shoplifters (48%) have been caught in the act.

Target has recently made headlines for changes to its stores throughout the U.S. and Michigan. Some of those changes include updating its policy to address potential return fraud. Target has also reduced the number of self-checkout lanes in favor of more traditional registers to enhance guest experience and prevent theft.
