How They Operate In Crowded Stores
I'm the Busy Season.

This IL the season when shoplifters do
Rost of their work." said private detective
tda STAR reporter; holiday times, when the
stores and streets are crowded. Some Of them
evtn go so far as to pick pocket Strange as il
m}y seem, the most expert shoplifters are
Tbmen. They usually travel in pairs and dur
hg the holiday season, il they escape detection,
hnay make enough to support them for some
months. Only one Of the two does the steal
ing. The other acts as confederate. One en-
tiers store, goes to counter where fine goods
are displayed, and engages the attention Of the
clerk. While thus engaged she will select q
fine piece OF silk or some other
manner that will render il an
easy bundle to conceal. While thus engaged
the confederate enters and attracts the stten-
ton Of the clerk. The first customer is not in
hurry. and she kindly excuses the clerk to
wait on the newcomer. Then. while he is en-
gagged with customer No. 2, customer No.
dom does the clerk discover the theft until too
late. Even should he discover the loss Of an
article he would probably hesitate to charge
his customer with theft The shoplifters usn-
ally dress WELL and would not be taken for
thieves. Even if he should suspect her he
would find il difficult matter to confirm his
suspicious. because the stolen goods are SO
well concealed. The shoplifter usually wears
large false pocket which is fastened around
her waist or to some undergarment. in which
articles can be inserted through slit made in

opening the loop the thief can easily get rid Of
the stolen goods. This is the favorite and
probably the easiest manner of shoplIfting."
