What sounded like a good idea to these two shoplifters, didn’t really work out. Security personnel at a Belk store in Nashville who were viewing them on video cameras recently caught two Ohio women in the midst of their heist. Apparently, they had every intention of stealing as they drove from Ohio in a rental car while on a multi-store shopping spree. The two stole anti-theft devices that remove sensors from clothing from another Belk Store by cutting the cable they were attached to at a register. They then took this device with them to their next location. At this Belk store, they spent 15 minutes removing the devices from about $1,100 worth of merchandise. They may not have been caught, but the security officers noticed that they were spending a lot of time looking at what was going on around on them instead of through the racks.

They were taken into custody and spent some time in the county jail. No doubt the judge will also impose restitution, fines, community service work and they could definitely use a 10-hour theft and shoplifting class. This course is designed to teach individuals who have made poor choices why and how they can straighten out their lives. Participants of theft, shoplifting and larceny classes learn how to master their theft impulses and addiction. More specifically, they’ll learn:

• About impulse control disorders
• The psychology of stealing
• Skills in decision making and emotional intelligence
• Victim awareness
• The consequences and risks of stealing
• Stress management skills
• Improved communication skills
• How to redirect the behavior

Here’s one for the books. Last month at a Target store in California, a ring of shoplifters worked together to steal $1,075.95 worth of items. The entire event was caught on tape, but unfortunately the thieves actually got away with a cart full of items! The way the crime unfolded is that 2 men and 2 women entered the Target store together. They got a shopping cart and proceeded to calmly go around the store filling the cart up with dog food, men’s clothing, children’s games and toys and various other household items. After about 40 minutes of shopping, they went to a checkout and proceeded to unload all the items on to the conveyer belt. The employee scanned the items while one woman stood with her checkbook out to pay and the other 3 bagged the items at the end of the counter and reloaded the cart. The woman handed over the check, at which point it was denied. The employee and woman made phone calls to try and resolve the check situation. While doing so, the employee had her back turned to the other three people. They quietly pushed the cart out of the store and loaded their SUV. At this point, the woman stated “My friends left me. They left me. I can’t believe they left me” and she gave a false report to the loss prevention employee of the type of car they were driving. Then another car quickly pulled up, she jumped in and they took off.  The entire scenario has been caught on video surveillance and the cops have good descriptions of the individuals involved.

This was obviously a premeditated plan and will not be looked lightly upon by any California judge. These thieves will surely end up with some jail time, fines, community service work and could definitely use an advanced 16-hour theft and shoplifting class! The only good news for these thieves is that they might have the opportunity to take the class online if the judge approves a distance learning class.

Participants will learn how to understand their desire to steal, victim impact and awareness, empathy training skills and the further consequences and risks of continuing this behavior. Offenders will finish the course with new tools and skills to apply in everyday life. This includes stress management skills, improved communication, and behavioral interventions to redirect the impulse.

We talk a lot about identity theft in this country. According to a study done by Javelin Strategy and Research, identity theft in the U.S. rose to a 3-year high in 2012. Based on a survey of 5,249 people, more than 5% of the adult population or 12.6 million people were victims of this kind of theft. According to the IRS, during the first six months of 2012 there was a 62% increase in the number of identity theft cases that they were able to detect.

With tax season in high gear, it’s important to remember not to just throw important personal information into the recycle bin outside your house, but to shred all your financial documents! Research studies show that many thieves start their illegal behavior by dumpster diving. Furthermore, be cautious about who you are sharing your credit card information with. Make sure you do it through a secure connection and that the web address begins with “https” and shows a locked padlock in the address bar. And, according to Kaspersky, be aware of cybercriminals who are targeting taxpayers on Facebook. Never click on a tax related message in the newsfeed because it often directs the user to a phishing website.

Other big tips for this tax season include don’t ever Email the IRS. This is the most popular way that hackers are getting into the information of potential victims. The agency doesn’t send email to contact taxpayers, so don’t respond! And lastly, don’t save your tax documents on your hard drive. Instead put them on a CD that is stored in a safe place.

These cybercriminals could use a 16-hour theft awareness class! Theft classes teach individuals how to control these illegal impulses and gain empathy for the victims. People who steal often feel a sense of excitement about the execution and become addicted to the “high”. It’s easy to fall into a pattern until the law gets involved. Often these same perpetrators feel a sense of shame and depression after they have committed the crime and are almost hoping to be caught.

Valentine’s Day is over but a number of consumer alert groups are focusing on making people aware to watch out for scammers on online dating websites. Scammers go after unsuspecting victims by setting up fake profiles and then going after your heart strings. They will spend a great deal of time to gain your interest and trust with stories about themselves to build a relationship.

Basically the way it works is that you will meet someone on one of the many legitimate social networking sites. The person will claim to have similar interests with you and have had a similar upbringing. Over a period of several weeks or months, they will start to tell you that they have strong feelings for you and will try to get you to communicate off the website or in-person. After gaining your trust, they will start to tell you a story of why they are in need of financial assistance because of a family crisis, illness or something they feel will get you involved.

No one is saying that it’s not worth a try to find love on these dating websites, but if you do, protect yourself. If someone tries to get you to communicate off the website, consider the idea thoroughly. Don’t ever send money or give personal information about yourself to someone you have met online. Especially watch out for people who say they are Americans but are currently overseas. Regardless of how much you want to believe their story, if they are asking for money it’s most likely not legitimate.
