Most shoplifters (商店扒手) agree that he January sales offer wonderful opportunities for the hard-working thief. 41 the shops so crowded and the staff so busy, it does not require any extraordinary talent to help you to take one or two little things and escape 42 . 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. In October last year, the store won its first court 46 for shoplifting using an evidence of a videotape clearly showing a couple 47 dresses. It was an important test case which 48 other stores to install similar equipment.
When the balls, called sputniks, first make a(n) 49 in shops, it was widely believed that their only function was to 50 shoplifters. Their 51 ridiculous appearances, the curious holes and red lights going on and off, certainly make the theory believable.

"As she turned to go," Chadwick 56 , "she suddenly looked up at the ‘sputnik’ and stopped. She could not 57 have seen that the camera was trained on her because it is completely hidden, but she 58 have had a feeling that I was looking at her."
"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."
