I'm sure it's all sorts - teams, meth heads, kids, desperates, employees whatever. These "loss prevention" units have to figure the best way to deter theft before it happens, detect theft when it happens, trespass / prosecute thieves, and minimize loss of sales all at once. It's a difficult calculus I'm sure.
