1 Th« Daily Bannar, Graancaatla, Indiana Thursday, Dacambar 2, 1965 Editorial-Wise To All Law Enforcement Officials: (Federal Bureau of Investigation) The Christmas Season, with its religious significance and spiritual uplift, is often marred by human greed and weakness. One of the more serious problems is caused by the despicable sneak thief—the shoplifter. Each year during the holidays, the "heisters and boosters” step up their forays of theft and pilferage which result in tremendous losses to the public. Their methods are as old as the profession itself. They operate with fake boxes and packages, loose coats and oversize clothing, shopping bags, large purses, and numerous other devices to cover their activities. No merchant, from the corner grocer to the exclusive furrier, is exempt from the shoplifter. This thief comes from any station in life. He may be rich or poor, male or female, young or old, and an amateur or professional. Encouraged and unwittingly abetted by bustling crowds and jammed stores, the shoplifter and two of his lawless allies, the purse snatcher and pickpocket, are bold and aggressive. In 1964 there were some 184,473 shoplifting cases recorded involving stolen goods valued at almost 5 million dollars. Much of this loot, of course, was taken during the height and rush of Christmas shopping. From 1959 through 1964. shoplifting increased 93 per cent, and it is the fastest growing larceny violation. It should also be noted chat purse snatching has increased 82 per cent since 1959 and pocket picking 28 per cent. Record-breaking retail sales are predicted for the preChristmas shopping days. Law enforcement agencies will be overtaxed and enforcement ranks will be thinly spread. The thieves and thugs can be expected to take full advantage of these favorable conditions.
