I knew a grocery store manager who told me that pregnancy test kits are high on the list.

In her memoir, Tina Fey said that baby formula costs $40 a box ($25 is more like it) and they keep it locked behind the counter with the meth supplies, so it's no surprise it gets stolen.

I'm surprised batteries aren't on the list.

I worked retail for 15 years, men are more likely to steal razors, while teenage girls are more likely to steal cosmetics. What surprises me is that condoms aren't on the list. Everyone steals those.

Cap'n Bob is also correct, batteries are also a huge item, along with kids shoes, although those are easier to steal. People switch them out all the time. The lengths people will go to to shoplift is amazing, even using their own kids or grandchildren to hide merchandise on or behind.
