Shoplifter
A shoplifter is a person who steals items from a retail store without paying for them. This act is considered theft and is illegal in most places. Shoplifting can involve taking small items, like candy or clothing, or larger products, depending on the individual's intent and opportunity.
Retailers often implement security measures, such as surveillance cameras and security tags, to deter shoplifting. If caught, shoplifters may face legal consequences, including fines or even imprisonment. The impact of shoplifting can also affect store prices, as businesses may raise prices to cover losses from theft.
