    In Baltimore, USA and I cannot figure out the rationale for what gets locked and what doesn’t. I have seen $50 items out in the open right next to $5 items that are locked up. I guess its just based on what gets lifted the most??

      From my experience in retail it’s usually the products that get stolen the most; they’re often, but not necessarily always the most expensive ones.

      Also some things that have a significantly higher than average return rate.

        It’s often a size vs value vs fence-ability.

        I have not seen Deodorant but commonly see razor blades since a 5 pack is small and like 30 dollars.
