A dozen thefts in 2.5 years is what drove them to do this? Unless they are selling diamonds or gold buillion, what are they losing that a dozen thefts in more than 2 years is affecting them so badly? I've worked in stores where theft was a near daily occurrence, not a rarity as it is for these shops. And I'm not saying that that is okay, just noting it's a rather low level of shoplifting (most stores take theft into account when they set prices).
It's practically useless IMHO. Does anyone think some hopped up crackhead looking to steal something to sell to get his/her next fix will give a damn about their photo being displayed? Not likely. I applaud their attempt to deter shoplifters, but this is a waste of time. RFID tags, security scanners and plain clothes security are more effective at stopping shoplifting than this will be.
I see this done most often at liquor stores. The security is low (no anti theft tags), the staff minimal (one, maybe two people), and the margins thin. Someone makes off with a couple bottles of expensive stuff, and you might get hit hard.
