When magazines titles shout "steal this aspect!" - some women who take literally.

Active, cosmetic shoplifted items first nation.

"Health and beauty care items" represented 20 per cent of all stolen supermarkets in 2008, according to the latest survey of food marketing Institute.

Vain people are more likely to be criminals? Or criminals only want you look hot in their Cup plans?

Most likely, is that the slippage of beauty in a purse products is more feasible - and useful - as, say, extracting disable a 12-pack of toilet paper.

Only last month, Caroline Giuliani: the girl of 21 years of the former Mayor of New York Rudy Giuliani - City was captured by sweeping $ 100 a Sephora cosmetics Manhattan.La senior Harvard must complete a community service day pay its growing beauty - fly .Et although we do not know what Giuliani stolen shop high range, beauty experts say display is as demanding as consumers when it comes to what they take.

"Loyal consumers to some elements, and to make criminals, says Joseph LaRocca, Senior Advisor to the National Federation of retail sales."Among the main shoplifted items are expensive hair care as Pureology and Bumble Bumble brands according to the group.

Also among the most stolen items: Regenerist line of oil of Olay anti-aging products, LaRocca said. "".Hear us on and much more; it is one of the main elements targeted, LaRocca says.

This is certainly in part due to the attention received Regenerist line after Union of American consumers line pharmacy review has found that it has surpassed many more expensive brands such as La cellular Prairie, which sells a 7-oz 1, anti-ageing cream for nearly $ 580.

Items highly shoplifted as Olay skin care line, oil are increasingly being concealed in locked showcases - discomfort for the client that will follow an employee to unlock the serum of ride $ 24.

"Unfortunately, many of these tools of theft deterrence are incompatible with good shopping, experience and good customer service", Lisa LaBruno, Vice-President of preventing losses and Legal Affairs for the retail industry leaders association.

The lock may make a tooth, cependant.Bucking overall rates dipped in 2009; yet, shoplifting, economic recession retailers still lost last year shoplifting $ 11.7 billion.

Rhett Asher, vice President of industry for the food marketing Institute relations, says that the group is working on a report examines why display amateur ask drag that they font.En terms of cosmetics: why a 15 $ lip gloss and serious risks legal consequences handheld?

"" You look like a sort of specifically self-destructive behavior, a statement of rebellion - it is more on such a declaration, that it's mascara, "says Dr. Gail Saltz, a psychiatrist from New York City, and a regular contributor of TODAY.""I think if you steal stuff, then probably you are not happy, and you may feel that it is on the way you search for".

But for young girls, Pocket nails a pharmacy almost can be a rite of passage - same actress Megan Fox crossed a phase of sticky fingers as a teenager and has been banned, it seems, a Florida Wal-Mart after flight a tube $ 7 glossy lip.(Remember that the tabloid reports feature, and representatives of Fox refused to comment on the application).

"For young girls, often is these makeup items they take, because... it is not on the beauty - it's doing something wrong," says Saltz.

Another theory: maybe some petty theft steal things that they are too embarrassed to make to the registre.Parmi shoplifted items higher depending on the NRF are drug loss weight Alli, pregnancy tests, products Nicorette - and Rogaine.
