Everyday Common Products Target Thieves Keep Stealing The Most

Target Stores Are Locking More Items Behind Glass

If you've been to Target lately and noticed more items locked behind glass, there's a pretty good reason for it.

Shoplifting.

The Surprising Items Thieves Target at Target Stores

Retail theft continues to be a problem, not just here in Montana, but all across the country.

When most people think about shoplifting, they picture someone walking out with a big-screen TV, video games, or some other expensive item.

While those things definitely get stolen, but they're not usually the biggest targets.

Instead, it's often the smaller everyday items that disappear the most. Some are surprisingly expensive, while others are just small enough to slip into a pocket, purse, or backpack without attracting much attention.
