It’s here, the most retail time of the year!

On Thanksgiving eve, as turkeys are prepped, cranberries jellied and potatoes mashed, visions of deals, steals and untold bargains will dance in the minds of consumers while retailers prepare in anticipation for the busiest five shopping days of the year. The National Retail Federation predicts an estimated 165.3 million people from Thanksgiving day to Cyber Monday will be in stores snagging promised door buster sales or online nabbing legendary cyber deals. Whether you are consumer or retailer, you need to be aware of another group hoping to score big this holiday shopping season—thieves. It doesn’t matter if you are shopping online or in a brick and mortar store, anywhere there is money exchanged the risk of theft is also present.
