When you go to the store, are there products under lock and key? Where they under lock and key five years ago? Retailers don't want things under lock and key, it slows down business and dissuades customers. If they are locking up merchandise it's because the shrinkage from not doing so far outweighs the negatives of locking up merchandise. Go into your average CVS in Los Angeles and a large percentage of products are locked up. Hell, even at my CVS in Tustin there are products, such as deodorant, behind glass. While certainly this is not hard data it is everyday proof that the numbers on property crime are not accurately conveying the true scale and impact of property crime on our society.
It's funny you bring up CVS specifically. It is their head of loss prevention company-wide that is one of the main figures in the misinformation on this topic.
