LendingTree said respondents who reported stealing were often taking necessities rather than discretionary items.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;These findings show how deeply inflation and financial stress continue to affect many households,&#8221; Matt Schulz, LendingTree&#8217;s chief consumer finance analyst, said in a statement. &#8220;When people are willing to risk the consequences of shoplifting for basics like food and personal hygiene products, it&#8217;s an unmistakable sign that many families are struggling mightily just to make ends meet.&#8221;<\/p>\n<h2>What are people stealing?<br \/><\/h2>\n<p>Americans are shoplifting everyday essentials, with food and nonalcoholic drinks ranking as the most popular items to steal, the study found.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Clothing and personal hygiene products were the second- and third-most popular items chosen by shoplifters, according to LendingTree.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Consumers also reported stealing toys, technology and electronics, as well as school supplies.\u00a0<\/p>\n<h2>Where are they stealing from?<\/h2>\n<p>Those who admitted to shoplifting said they were slightly more inclined to steal from a major retailer than from an independent shop.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Chain stores may be targeted more often because they&#8217;re more accessible, offer greater anonymity and tend to attract more shoppers,&#8221; Schulz said. &#8220;Large retailers often have heavy foot traffic, expansive layouts, self-checkout lanes and a wide selection of everyday essentials, making it easier for someone to blend in.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>When asked which retailers were easiest to shoplift from, respondents most frequently identified Walmart, with 47% naming the retailer. Family Dollar was ranked second, followed by Amazon Fresh and Kroger.<\/p>\n<h2>What are the risks?<\/h2>\n<p>To be sure, there are tremendous risks to turning to shoplifting.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Shoplifting may feel like a way to solve an immediate cash-flow problem, but getting caught can create a much bigger one,&#8221; Schulz said. &#8220;It can lead to short-term financial costs, including fines and legal fees, as well as longer-term consequences, such as making it harder to get a job or rent an apartment.&#8221;<\/p>\n<section
