Tonight I was reading a post by Kathleen Clausen on shoplifters. Shoplifters hit her neighbor's booth and then proceeded to her booth. The shoplifters were able to get some jewelry from both booths and who knows how many other booths before that. Luckily, Kathleen and her neighbor were able to recover their artwork.
Shoplifters don't take vacations or ask for permission before they strike. It happenes when we least expect it. Plus, we usually realize it long after the perpetrators are gone.
So, what do you do to minimize thefts from your booth? Have you had many thefts? Have you caught anybody red handed? Tell us how you combat this problem. Your experiences may just help another artists to protect themselves and their hard work. It is always good to be prepared.
