Home Depot Fights Shoplifting With New Technology
Home Depot Fights Shoplifting With New Technology
The outbreak of brazen smash-and-grab robberies and shoplifting is showing no signs of stopping, but some stores are taking extreme measures to stop would-be thieves in their tracks, including Home Depot. Spokesperson Christina Cornell gave Inside Edition an exclusive look at the company’s latest crime-fighting technology, including a shopping cart with wheels that lock if you don’t pay and bluetooth-activated items.
Just let African people to take things for free and raise the price for supremasits to offset the looting of shops.
This says nothing about the Hope and Change of letting criminals go free. Prosecuting criminals is the best deterrent to prevent crime.
Another way to track Americans that don’t steal
Blame the people who feel desperate, and not the greedy corporations who keep raising prices just to get more money.
bluetooth technology if thief don’t pay it won’t work .? LOL as if tech hackers to bypass tech don’t exist . scan reciept to get out makes more sense . 🤣 seems logic have its limit
1:07 "the wheels on the cart would lock" meanwhile a guy pushing a flatbed cart that has wheels that wouldn’t lock lol
I have a better idea…..bigger prisons.
Ashame on the US and its justice system that handed the bad guys many doors to get away from being “real” punishment from jail time to be prosecuted or suffer consequences.
Smart shop
Smh okay they have a budget for this, what about smaller businesses smh we need to prosecute.
Insurance will cover it for the store,they don’t want lawsuits. So you’ll pay 120$ for a 20v battery for you’re tools. Just pass it down to you ,the consumer.
Only 1 demographic 😂
Since they wanna act like animals with no rules and regulations. Break out the bear spray.
What it may come to is a employee to walk around with a customer right to the point they drive away. Then they may start kidnapping the employees and hold for ransom. Just get armed guards w/shoot to kill, yeah hire vets.
But the crooks can still just sell the things that don’t work anyway.
And this will lead to higher prices
FINALLY! 😊
This is what happens when the WOKE take over.
We should go back to mideval times. First offense caught stealing, your finger ges chopped off. Second offense, your hand gets chopped. It is barbaric, but maybe it will be the only way to strike fear into these people.
It’s sad it has to come to this
Sounds like the prices just went UP for ordinary citizens because of thieves
Yeah well that’s all good but now it such an inconvenience for us law-abiding citizens to even get stuff off the shelf let alone go out the exit door which is or was very convenient. So thanks to you fkng scumbags of the earth!!!
If I ever see these scum running out of a HD with goods across a lot they better run fast because my For F250 is faster and heavier !!!
Great idea❤
Treat it like the serious issue it is. Arrest and incarcerate.
The wheels on the cart go lock, lock, lock…
Black people beware 😊
Keep voting liberal and it will only get worse.
this is truly the end of days- when crime goes unpunished – what is next?
Why they don’t hire security guard
To make the power tools to come on all you have to do is take the chip out
BLM on the march.
Sounds like a new challenge for some computer geek to figure a way around the safeguards on the carts. How long will it take?
Carts that lock aren’t anything new.. none of this will detour crime. Hire more security guards and let them use their non lethal and lethal weapons.
Air tags?
I could think of Cheaper methods
People need to get to work and it’s better to work then acting stupid 😡😡😡
how about armed guards?..stop screwing around playing pussyfoot with criminals!!
Only happening because it’s being tolerated, same as the gang problems.
Citizens need to rob the thieves. Give them a taste of their own medicine.
Not only do thieves need to be sent to prison, but if your crime is theft you should be forced to work hard labor for the city on roads or concrete structure to pay back the value of stolen items.
No you just need to be able to pay your lpos more money and get Quality Security and let us have handcuffs and beat the s*** out of Thieves
A lot of these scumbags have something in common……
They could do what gamestop does where they have the fake empty cases displayed then the employees give you the real items behind the counter on in this case the back.
1:07 What if they place the cart onto that platform dolly? 😛
Dang home depot has money on technology, But they ain’t got money for better wages. Maybe a better wage will deter thieves since they can actually afford to have a good life. And no $40,000 a year is not a livable wage.
i like that a piece of equipment won’t work if not paid for but that also creates another "point of failure" while using the tool over its lifetime, which can sometimes be decades.
Today August 23 and the thief favorite store still home depot.people should line out of the store and get trought a window what they already select and pay online.
At the time of 1:01 minutes. Locking wheels can be thwarted by rolling lighter stuff on the back wheels. These stores have no solution.
Need those 7/11 store owners with the long stick.
Good for them and hopefully other stores follow their strategy
The problem is law enforcement is too lazy to do anything about it
