Put all of your retail outlet’s security cameras on the Internet as free webcams. Pay bounties when Internet viewers catch shoplifters, if store security catches the bad guys. Hire fewer store security guys. Get people looking in your stores, even when they’re at home. Surely retail lust will increase?

Sure, the bad guys will figure out where the cameras are this way. But if you drop a couple of security guys, you can afford a whole lot more cameras.
