I have a small business, cell phone store to be exact. But recently I have had folks who keep running out with cell phones and other high priced items. I do have security cameras and tape recordings but police take forever comming to the store and by then the criminal is so long gone. How do i protect myself? With a weapon to scare the criminals? Its a small business and I need every dollar I can save to pay back loans. PLease help!!!!

Answer
how are they stealing the phones/ Do you have them displayed out in the open?

Put your product behind locked glass cases, and only remove them when customers are interested in looking at them. Any demos should be done behind a counter, with a security cable attached to the demo phones.

accessories should be kept behind the counter or in locked display cases as well.

I got some good answers and some not so good. In this case, for those who know or have a small business also know money is hard to come by. Having a security gaurd at all hours is very hard to pay for. That plexi glass sounds good but also expensive. So all i can say is one of those stungun type of devices which disables someone till the police arrives.

Answer
lock the goods in glass cases and if ur local law allows get ur sell a pump action shot gun
