JEFF'S SHOPLIFTER ALTERCATIONS
THIS PAGE IS MADE UP OF MY GREATEST SHOPLIFTER ALTERCATIONS AND MERCHANDISE RECOVERIES. UNDER THE STORIES DESCRIPTION, IF ***SILENT SHAKEDOWN***IS DISPLAYED, IT MEANS THAT THIS STORY IS A SHOPLIFTER BLUFF.
BLUFFING A SHOPLIFTER (PERFORMING A SILENT SHAKEDOWN) IS A TACTIC THAT IS COMMONLY USED IN THE L.P. INDUSTRY TO STOP A POTENTIAL THIEF FROM STEALING. THIS TACTIC IS GENERALLY USED WHEN THE AGENT IS NOT TOTALLY SURE AS TO WHETHER OR NOT A PERSON HAS ACTUALLY CONCEALED MERCHANDISE. HOWEVER, BUSINESSES ARE STARTING TO USE THIS TACTIC MORE OFTEN TO SAVE MONEY ON COURT/PROSECUTION COSTS.
BLUFFING A SHOPLIFTER IS JUST LIKE BLUFFING SOMEONE IN A GAME OF POKER. THE LP AGENT FOLLOWS THE SUSPECT AND MAKES THEIR PRESENCE KNOWN BY THE WAY THEY MOVE AND ACT. SOME TACTICS MAY INCLUDE FOLLOWING THE SUSPECT OUT OF THE STORE OR SHOWING OFF YOUR WALKIE-TALKIE, HANDCUFFS, ETC. THE SHOPLIFTER DOESN'T KNOW WHAT THE LP AGENT HAS OBSERVED AND THE LP AGENT PLAYS ON THAT. THE SHOPLIFTER KNOWS THAT IF THEY WALK PAST THE LAST POINT OF SALE WITH STOLEN MERCHANDISE THAT THEY RUN THE RISK OF GETTING STOPPED. MOST SHOPLIFTERS WOULD RATHER DUMP THE MERCHANDISE THAN TO RUN THE RISK OF GETTING BUSTED.
