Stores across country lost billions in retail theft last year, according to Capital One Shopping Research
A disorienting and blinding fog connected to a store's alarm is a relatively new security measure to stop would-be thieves as organized retail crime spirals out of control.
The technology, which was created by DensityUSA, is already in use in several countries in the European Union and Australia but is becoming more prevalent in the U.S., said Mike Egel, president of DensityUSA.
"Once it's activated, the DensityUSA system creates a dense fog with near-zero visibility conditions in just seconds," Egel said. "The fog is designed to be dense and disorientating to deter an intruder from following through with their intentions."
In the case of the U.K. jewelry store, the thieves came away empty-handed, he said: "Thieves can’t steal what they can’t see."

Its a good start but the "fog" needs to be lethal.
No more criminal activity from that scenes participants.

Crime-fighting fog hits shoplifters as retail theft spirals out of control
Technology blankets a store with a thick fog in seconds after shoplifters trip an alarm, which forces would-be thieves to run without executing their raid.
Its a good start but the "fog" needs to be lethal.
No more criminal activity from that scenes participants.
