What I don't understand about retail stores is the big expensive beeper checkpoint exit scanners. Everyone believes that the scanners go off if you don't scan the barcode but I work in retail and you can pull a whole pallette full of unscanned items through the checkpoints and they don't go off. The only things that go off is makeup, clothing with security tags, toys that have security tags stuck on them (you can visually see if they have them), and spider wraps that go over TVs. That's about it. Any other cosmetic stuff usually has a security tag in the box but that's rare. Have only ever seen it in Nair wax strips.

The quality of those cameras are always horrendous. You need an exact time, date, description and then you need to send it to the police for investigation. The big retail stores will never care if you repeat steal small items. But if its organised robbery of numerous items over and over again then yeah. You'll likely get caught.
I also once caught a woman trying to steal a suitcase of neck pillows, which was about $150 worth. She just looked at me and went "fuck" so I took them out and kept scanning the rest of the items. Excluding the neck pillows. I told the manager what happened and he gave me a $30 gift card but he never asked me about her appearance or anything, just what happened.
You also aren't allowed to accuse someone of stealing and you aren't allowed to chase them in or out of the store. You are better off letting them go then risking the store being sued.

Then again I guarantee Australia is a lot different to America
