If you owned a store, what would you do to discourage people from stealing from you?

If you owned a store, what would you do to discourage people from stealing from you? I have worked as an auditor for a long time, and see many new and inventive ways for employees to steal. One of the things that make it so easy is not having the right systems in place that help you detect theft. When your employees know that it’s easy to be caught, they are less likely to steal. There are always those few people that don’t really care, and still do it and usually end up fired. I would have security cameras located all around my place of business. The departments that carry the higher priced items will be monitored closely and inventoried frequently. I would also post signs in the business that state that this store is monitored for theft. The more people feel that they are being watched; the less likely they are to steal. There will always be some theft, but with a few precautionary measures in place, it can be less than average. With more profit in my pocket.
