Britons are the most prolific shoplifters in Europe, a survey published Wednesday showed.
They stole 3.58 billion pounds of goods from their nation‘s shops last year, the equivalent of 1.59 percent of British retail turnover.
Razor blades were the most stolen item followed by alcohol and toiletries, according to the British-based Center for Retail Research.
Finland had the second worst shoplifting problem followed by Portugal and Greece while the Swiss were the most disciplined shoppers, the survey showed. Theft accounted for 0.89 percent of Swiss retail turnover.
In all, Europeans stole 30.8 billion euros worth of goods from their stores last year -- 71.5 euros per person.
Customers were blamed for 48 percent of the thefts, staff for 29 percent and suppliers for 7 percent.
The survey covered 423 retailers in 24 countries, accounting for 20 percent of European retail turnover.
英國零售業(yè)研究中心日前公布的一份調(diào)查報(bào)告顯示，英國小偷去年總共從該國各類商店中盜走了價(jià)值35.8億英鎊的各種商品，這個(gè)數(shù)字相當(dāng)于英國當(dāng)年零售業(yè)營業(yè)額的1.59％。
據(jù)路透社日前報(bào)道，在失竊物品中，英國小偷青睞的是剃須刀，其次是酒和化妝品。此項(xiàng)調(diào)查涉及歐洲的24個(gè)國家的423個(gè)零售商，占全歐洲零售業(yè)年?duì)I業(yè)額的20％。
調(diào)查發(fā)現(xiàn)，芬蘭的商店小偷案則在全歐洲排名第二，葡萄牙和希臘緊跟在后，而在瑞士，每年失竊的商品的價(jià)值僅占該國零售業(yè)年?duì)I業(yè)額的0.89％。
總的來看，歐洲小偷去年從本地的各類商店中偷走了價(jià)值308億歐元的商品——分?jǐn)偟矫總€(gè)人頭上則為71.5歐元。在所有偷竊行為中，有48％為消費(fèi)者所為，商店員工監(jiān)守自盜所占比例為29％，另有7％則為供貨商伺機(jī)“作案”。
