A Fargo theft with losses in the six figures shows the growing incidents of metal theft. Some also lead to loss of electric service to hospitals, neighborhoods and even whole cities.

Found more often at ATMs and gas station checkouts, supermarkets in California discovered skimmers at self-checkout terminals. They delayed notifying customers because they thought they had prevented a security breach but more than a hundred customers reported thefts.

The alleged scam targeted customers who often paid with American Express Black cards and other high-limit credit cards.

As skimming grows, the good news is that two men were arrested November 1 on charges of conspiring to produce, use, or traffic in one or more counterfeit devices, following a lengthy U.S. Secret Service investigation.

Ranchers and farmers are increasingly reporting animals and produce being stolen. In one rare case, the thief was luckily caught.

At least two people have been pictured installing a skimming device at an Orlando ATM days ago. It is the host city for the upcoming ASIS International event soon.

Construction and oil field equipment recovered while copper theft harms utilities.

It happened last year at ASIS, now again this year at ISCW. Theft at a security industry trade show!
