Case Study Of Reinforcing The Bag Check Policies

On the above date and time I responded to Walmart, reference a possible retail theft.

Mike Sadle is the owner of Mike’s Wrecker Service in Huntsville, Alabama. Mike has been providing tow services in the Huntsville and the surrounding areas for the past 20 plus years. During that span, Mike has experienced firsthand the growth and evolution of the towing industry. The purpose of this project was to help Mike identify an area in his business where a significant contribution could be made to increase the overall success of the company. The goal was to present Mike’s Wrecker Service with a telematics solution that will not only bring added value to the company but also provide a significant competitive advantage.

Shoplifting is a prevalent crime within the United States that must be controlled by risk managers. During December of 2009, a Foot Locker in Atlanta, Georgia was robbed when “police arrested two adults and four juveniles in a smash and grab job.” (CBS Atlanta 1) Unlike employee theft, customer theft is limited to the $1,120,000,000 in merchandise inventory (“Balance Sheet”). Although the inventory and cash could potentially be recovered from the employee(s) or customer(s) through a lawsuit, as a risk manager I would need to take preventative action.

This case involves a male and female Hispanic, entering TJ Maxx during business hours, and concealing various items in their bags. The suspects attempted to leave the store without paying for the items. Loss Prevention Agent Sergio Castro made contact with the suspects at the front entrance and retrieved all of the loss except for a black Michael Kors purse, valued at $159.99.

Can you explain why the store did not take pictures of the incident scene and the plaintiffs’ shopping cart? This question would cast doubt on if the store was trying

Since the beginning of aviation, aircraft have been used for other intentions besides carrying passengers and cargo. They have been used as weapons of war dating all the way back to the first world war, and the use of aircraft has enlightened the advancement of the aviation. “Throughout the history of aviation, the greatest progress in flight has been made during time when either war or the threat of war was present” (Millspaugh, et al., 2008, p. 33). However, the war we face today has been triggered by the deliberate use of aircraft to cause death, destruction, and mayhem.

“Customers do have the right to refuse to have their bag searched, but since a customer enters a store under license, the retailer also has the right to ask a person to leave, therefore revoking the license” (law, 2016, pg. 1). Again we are setting up the company for a lawsuit, for an illegal search of a customer. A better course of action would be to wait until the suspect exits the store. I must physically see them conceal the merchandise, watch them the entire time to make sure they don't dump the merchandise, and wait for them to exit the store with the merchandise still concealed on them or on their personal belongings. Typically we must be careful when approaching customers inside the store. It's always best to approach a shoplifter with a fellow teammate at least one other of the same sex as the suspect. Often shoplifters can use the excuse that they're still shopping and intend to pay for the item once at the cashier. Confronting them outside the store we'll take excuses out of the

The crime possible that can apply in this context is larceny, where our book defines it as "taking and carrying away a person's property without the use of force and with the intent to permanently deprive the owners of possession". (Samaha p.403). I don't think that she has committed a crime because of the Acts Rea, in this case, is involuntary where she did not come to the store with the intention to trick the recipient and get a discount. While reading this case it clearly shows that she would pay the full price of the items she purchased.When we look at Mens Rea, it does not meet intention for knowingly, purposefully, recklessly or negligence. Under MPC Doris is not guilty of committing a crime. Looking at Colorado Revised Statues, Doris

The law was applicable for any bag that would be provided to the customers by the covered stores to carry goods including cloth, paper, and plastic bags. Though, it did not include the garment bags, bags provided by the pharmacy for carrying prescription drugs and bags without handles that are normally used for poultry, fish, meat, dry goods and dairy etc (NYC Samitation, 2017). The customers must also be notified by the covered stores about the charged carryout bag fee by posting a sign at the point of sales or at the checkout register.

There are various procedures that could be taken in to account that would, if properly implemented, would have detected the frauds that occurred within the companies. There are many control risks that should have been taking regarding inventory along with preliminary audit strategies for the inventory and substantive test to be done that would have raised many flags during the typical audits as well as in depth ones.

*A change in the project specifications after the freeze date was agreed up on in the contract. These changes created a domino effect of problems. This was in violation of the contract with BAE which stated there would be a number of freeze dates for mechanical design, software design, and permanent power.

Confirm your luggage and passenger information in the kiosk. Upon confirmation, the kiosk then dispenses destination tag. Attach that luggage destination tag to each luggage. Together with the tags, the kiosk will also dispense the boarding pass for the passenger.

What happened: Millions of dollars in losses were split among the 129 stores and put as an expense on each stores balance sheet ->. In order to balance the expenses, management had to boost its assets by inflating inventory -> The auditor Coopers&Lybrant checked only 4 stores out of 129 in order to safe their money. In addition, they told senior management which stores they will check -> Phar-Mor prepared the inventory in accordance with its balance sheet -> The auditing firm was unable to uncover the fraud.

According to the initial plan, the project was to span from 1989 to 1993 and cost $1.7 billion. The opening of the airport was delayed four times due to problems with the baggage handling system. Overall 16 long

One can use false weights while scanning the bag just by placing only a little of amount what he/she has got from the store and later fill up the bag with some more items of same kind. This is a major security exposure where the system cannot check the scanned weight and the weight that is placed in the bag is equal or not. Hence the person who wants to falsify the weights can easily cheat the system with this flaw in the security.
