Security won’t be able to do anything either. I worked Loss Prevention in the past and there are industry standards that need to be followed to the letter in order for you to make a “stop” for shoplifting. Vast majority of companies that have in house LP aren’t allowing them to make stops for external shoplifting anymore, it’s a liability and opens the company up to lawsuits/workers comp injury claims.

The more profitable/damaging losses are from internal theft, those are still pursued by LP, since the company has more control over what can be done and is able to actually hand out punishment to the person stealing.
