    Reducing Inventory Shrink With Security Systems

    As a business owner, one of the most important things you can do is ensure the safety of your product and reduce shrinkage. According to The Global Retail Theft Barometer, as published by the Center for Retail Research, North American retailers lose roughly $45 billion in inventory from shrinkage every year.

Between these two sources of daylight product loss, you have a significant reason to implement business security systems for use during business hours. On top of that, daytime retail security technology can protect your business from false insurance claims and other types of liability. So the next time you're ready to upgrade your retail business's security...

However, the Land Rover surprisingly was used in the Mantua robbery after which it was recovered during the investigation.
