There’s a lot to be said for private security companies who discourage repeat offending using their own unique persuasion techniques.

when they're 'jonesing' it doesn't matter what names in the window they'll do it anyhow and worry about retribution later

Sunderland's Tin of Sardines counts the cost after fourth break ...https://www.sunderlandecho.com › business › sunderla...
3 hours ago — But, the independent business has been left counting the cost after suffering four break-ins in five months, most recently overnight on Monday, ...



While thieves have only got away with a few bottles of gin and float money in the past, the escalating costs of the damage caused by the break-ins is hitting the business hard. The most recent incident saw a suspect use an axe to access the building.
"As time has gone on, they’ve got away with less and less and last time it was only two bottles of Gordon’s gin, but the sheer volume of cash that has to be taken out of the business for the damage caused is huge. Especially for a business in its first year, when you’re lucky to break even,” said Chris.

He added: “The only saving grace is how well we have been supported by the community and the number of people visiting, otherwise we couldn’t have continued.
"We had only just got our till back in after the last break-in, and had been forced to operate as card only, before the most recent incident.”

It'll keep happening and they'll close, sadly.
