Shoplifting has become so rampant nearly 60% of shoppers say they feel safer shopping online than in store

Oscar Arango, former VP of assets protection at Target, said that not only did retail crime make consumers more concerned about their safety, but it also hampered the overall shopping experience.

The article from Fortune, published on March 4, 2025, discusses the increasing prevalence of shoplifting in the U.S., which has led to nearly 60% of shoppers feeling safer shopping online rather than in physical stores. This shift in consumer behavior is attributed to the rampant theft and the resulting chaotic and unsafe in-store environments. Retailers are struggling to manage the situation, with some implementing stringent security measures, while others are closing stores in high-theft areas. The article highlights the economic impact on retailers, with losses from shoplifting contributing to higher prices and reduced in-store shopping experiences. It also notes that the rise in online shopping is further fueled by the convenience and perceived safety it offers, posing long-term challenges for traditional brick-and-mortar retail.
