SAI Retail Crime Report
Monday 18th May, 2026
SAI, an AI retail security provider, published a consumer survey revealing shoppers view theft in convenience stores and supermarkets as ‘normalised’, highlighting blind spots, rise in organised retail crime, and calling for real-time prevention rather than passive surveillance.
Why it worked: It reframed shoplifting as a consumer-attitude shift, quantified by fresh stats (five witnessed incidents; 70% normalisation), creating urgency and a counter-narrative to “more CCTV.”
The lesson: Consider fielding a quick, statistically tight poll that exposes an unexpected attitude shift undermining standard fixes, then offer a sharper remedy.
