Which items do supermarkets protect with anti-theft devices?

Question

Almost all supermarkets protect some of their items with magnetic sensitive anti-theft strips to prevent shoplifting. However, there are still many items like produce and eggs for example that are not. What other items are not? A jar of yogurt? A can of soup? Magazines?

Answer 1

Usually, clothes, shoes, CD's, electronics, some toys, books and jewelry are protected.  Most of everything else is not.  Why do you want to know?  

Answer 2

One of the things that makes security tags such an effective deterrent is not knowing what items are protected, so they are not going to make that information known.

Answer 3

Tampons, rubber chickens and mouthwash.  Thats it.

Answer 4

Are you trying to see what you can steal and what you cannot?  I'd say your safe with a carton of eggs or a can of soup.  However, I'd stay away from CD's, Movies, expensive bottles of liquor, etc

Answer 5

Their best anti-theft device is the cameras that cover the store. Plus the loss prevention officers many employ.

Answer 6

You never know what they are doing. Thats the way they like it.
