There will always be some amount of shoplifters, and they generally fall into two categories: shoplifters of necessity, and shoplifters of thrill. Shoplifters of necessity tend to only engage in shoplifting for as long as it is the only option.

Thrill seekers tend to think of about shoplifting tactically; they target small, easily concealable products and mask the theft with another purchase.
