This is all for nothing
phones stolen during looting were easily tracked by Apple. Now if you talking about the $ .50 cables that they charge 30 bucks for, all companies budget for incidental loss through theft(employee or self-employed freelance thief) damage and subsequent replacement, showroom demos etc.
Did this strip search at the end of each shift catch anyone trying to boost any goods? And if so, did they save more money than they spent on security?
