Although retailers often do not publicize how much is lost to shoplifters every year but according to a September 27, 2019 article by Michael E. Kanell in The Atlanta Journal-Constitution, "...(The) rule of thumb, according to experts, is that thieves walk off with about $750,000 worth of goods for each $1 billion in revenue. That would put the $108 billion-a-year company's losses at about $81 million."
