Ever since there have been stuff for sale, there has been stuff to steal.

That's not a proverb or anything, I literally just made it up, just now.

And, though not exactly how true it is, it brings me to talking about shoplifting.

Many stores have things in place to help prevent shoplifting from security at the front of the store to cameras everywhere that will, no doubt, track you down. You may even be asked to show your receipt on the way out as a last form of humiliation when you're just trying to shop like an honest citizen.

But shoplifting is inevitable.

I used to work in retail and would often find empty boxes stashed behind product or open containers where they would just keep the item there, but empty the contents so it would look like it was on the shelf, but items inside of the bottle would be gone.

But what are the most stolen items?

When it comes to Walmart, there are plenty of items that find their way out of the store without the person purchasing them before leaving. It's unfortunately but it happens daily.

Think of the things that you think could be the most stolen items from any store, really, and see if they match this list.

It'll be interesting to see what you thought and maybe even find an item on this list or two that you didn't consider.
