My question is, how are they getting away with this?

5.) Duracell batteries - $2,527 stolen

Duracell batteries are compact and easy to pocket.

4.) Centrum women's vitamin gummies - $3,407 stolen

Centrum women's vitamin gummies might seem like an odd choice, but considering their value and small size, they make sense for thieves.

3.) Kirkland premium paper towels - $5,021 stolen

Kirkland premium paper towels are a bit bulkier, which makes me wonder how people manage to swipe them unnoticed.

2.) Gillette men's razors - $6,189 stolen

Gillette men's razors, with their high price, are a prime target for shoplifters

1.) Cordless Dyson vacuum cleaner - $6,210 stolen

Dyson vacuum cleaner at the top of the list is truly astonishing. How do people walk out with such a large item without getting caught? It baffles me.

Honestly, I'm not too surprised by the list.

In my opinion, Costco needs to tighten its security measures. More surveillance cameras, better-trained staff, and perhaps a reevaluation of the self-checkout system might help curb these thefts. While self-checkouts are convenient, they also provide an easy opportunity for those looking to take advantage. It’s a delicate balance between customer convenience and preventing theft, but it's clear that Costco needs to find a better solution.
