It is getting crazy out here. With this season being the height of the thefts, retailers are starting to crack down even more.

How Stores Fighting Against Retail Theft

When you go into stores like Walmart, most of the big-money items are being put behind locked cases.

However, stores are getting even more serious about locking items such as laundry detergent because of the multiple thefts.

Plus, stores have been installing cameras that not only lock in on your face while at self-checkout but also have cameras that watch you from above to see what you scan.

Even with all of these precautions, thefts are still at an all-time high.
