It's happening more and more these days due to britains worst recession since the 1930's. In november 2008 there was a 25% increase in the number of shoplifting cases. Also it's not the usual sort who steal anymore, more and more people are resorting to stealing from shops what they can't afford. Often this is stuff they need but just can't afford because of the recession, such as toiletries. It used to be that teenagers were the ones caught of stealing make-up, but there are more first-timers who aren't young either.
To be honest i can't blame them because it is stuff these days to make your money last. I mean what with thousands of people loosing their jobs each week and not enough jobs for everyone, no wonder people are resorting to desperate measures.
