Shoplifted is a verb that refers to the act of stealing merchandise from a store without paying for it, typically by hiding the stolen items on one's person or in personal belongings. It is a form of theft that occurs in retail environments and is considered a criminal offense in many countries.
Shoplifting involves the unlawful taking and removing of goods from a store's premises without the knowledge or consent of the retailer. It can be done by a variety of methods, such as concealing items in pockets, bags, or under clothing, swapping price tags to pay a lower price, or intentionally damaging packaging to access the product without purchasing it. The intent behind shoplifting is to wrongfully obtain goods without providing proper payment.

Retailers employ various measures to prevent shoplifting, such as surveillance cameras, security guards, electronic article surveillance systems, and customer assistance. These measures aim to deter potential shoplifters, protect merchandise, and maintain the financial integrity of the business.
