Retail Crime on the Rise in Chicago
A recent survey shows 49% of Chicagoans are seriously concerned about retail crime, and many report changes in shopping behavior due to theft fears (Chicago Business).
For business owners, this means one thing: traditional locks and basic alarms aren’t enough anymore.
