Theft makes all of our prices go up. It gets my blood boiling. And MOST of the time its just stuff, not even needed stuff.  Ok, I'll breathe and you can keep reading.
Here is the list of the top 8:

make up

1.Cosmetics
Ya know, there are some real good drugstore brands out there, but swiping stuff like lipstick, mascara, compacts, and hair dye, isn't the way to go. If I stole make-up I think I would think about my theft every time I put on my stolen mascara.

2. Small Electronics
When it comes to small electronics, from basic watches to fancy smartphones and headphones, folks seem to eye those a lot. Anything cheap enough to not be locked up but small enough to slip into a pocket.

3. Toys
Toys like Hot Wheels or Pokémon, Yu-Gi-Oh cards, and Magic the Gathering cards disappear a lot.

4. Over the Counter Medication
Now, for some reason, people nab pain relievers the most, followed by laxatives and pet meds. You'd think with self check out people wouldn't be so embarrassed to buy laxatives, ooo but there is a camera at self check out. hahahah

5. Food
Interesting fact- packaged meat is reported as the most shoplifted item in America. What?? How? hahaha. Also on the list is baby food, deli stuff, alcohol, and noodle packets.

6. Intimate Items
At the top of the lists mentioning the stolen goods at Walmart are things like pregnancy tests, condoms, and adult toys are apparently top targets. Again, try self check out.

7. Apparel and Accessories
You won't believe it, but underwear gets swiped a lot from Walmart, along with shoes, hats, handbags, and sunglasses.

8. Jewelry
I thought rings would be high on the list but apparently earrings, necklaces and bracelets take the top spots.

 Stealing is dumb and it raises the prices for those that do have some morals left. Petty crime rates are going up. Be honest and don't take things that don't belong to you. If you notice anything suspicious, please report it. Remember to be safe! It's better to tell the store staff or the authorities rather than trying to deal with it on your own.
