Anti theft devices on packaged beef in Australia

[crankybuzzard]

An Aussie friend of ours sent me this pic this morning from her local market in Queensland.

According to her, meat theft is a big problem in Australia.

LOL---In the old days they used a Long Rope & a Wide Loop to get their Meat.

Which resulted in a Short Rope & a Long Drop.

So now they wait until they're cut up, before they steal the meat???

It may have not made the Dallas paper, but a few months back a guy here in Tyler shoplifted a bunch of steaks put them in his pants, he was seen, police called and while in hot pursuit the guy started throwing the steaks out the window.

The manager at our Brookshire's said meat theft is a big problem  Who Knew

With the increasing popularity of online classified sites such as Craigslist and social media it is extremely easy for dishonest people to make substantial profits from stolen goods. It is more lucrative and far less dangerous to shoplift, then say rob a liquor store at gunpoint. Shoplifting, particularly ORC (organized retail crime) has exploded as a major problem for retailers across all channels. Just two weeks ago I was pepper sprayed confronting two shoplifters attempting to commit a grab and run in my store. Unfortunately these types of thefts have become very common. Please think twice before purchasing things online such as gift cards, or merchandise whose price seems to good to be true. There is a good chance you could be supporting an ORC organization that increases costs for all consumers.

My butcher has a big meat cleaver and a shot gun next to his meat case! Meat theft is no problem there!
