It is known, in the business, as “hoisting”.
But now the hoisting game is not 43 it used to be. Even at the height of the sales, shoplifters today never know 44 they are being watched by one of those evil little balls that hang from the ceilings of so many department stores above the most desirable goods.
As if that was not trouble enough for them, they can now be filmed 45 and obliged to attend a showing of their performance in court.
Selfridges was the first big London store to install closed-circuit videotape equipment to watch its sales floors.

"For a moment she paused, but then she 59 to counter and started putting everything 60 . When she had finished, she opened her bag towards the camera to show it was empty and hurried out of the store."
