Interesting the SA didn't notice until the next day, they nearly got away!

Wouldn't the watch have had a hang tag of sorts or sticker on it? Seems odd that it would be free of any new watch adornments, which in theory would make it harder to steal.

Sadly, they're somebody's friend and imagine what kind of role model and parents they would make.

The article mentions that they carried out reconnaissance days prior so they knew exactly what to target and would probably have set the ringer watch up for the swap. They tried the watches on so the sales associate could've removed the hang tag.

'When the sales assistant took the other watches and placed them back in the stacks, Mr Para took off the genuine watch he had been trying on and swapped it with a fake.'

This aspect needs to be addressed by the store’s Loss Prevention trainers. At AD’s I notice that they have policies to only present one watch at a time. If that had been done in this case, the opportunity would not have been presented.

Of course a skilled pickpocket would still have the legerdemain to fool an SA.
