Whenever I go to the local shopping centre, I always see 
a security guard. Today, I’m meeting one of them face to face. 
Nice to have you with us, Mark. Could you first tell us a little 
about your working hours. There is always a security guard on 
duty when we go shopping. So, do you ever go home?
That’s a good question. We work in shifts. This means that 
one week I work in the morning; the next in the afternoon. 
One week every two months I have to work at night. I don’t 
mind working at night, but the centre looks strange without 
people in it, and sometimes it’s difficult to stay awake. It’s 
also difficult for my children, who miss their bedtime story 
when I’m on nights.
Whenever I see a guard looking at me, I always feel guilty. 
Do you think everyone is a shoplifter?
There’s no such thing as a typical shoplifter. I remember 
some amazing stories in the newspapers about famous 
Hollywood actors and actresses. They were all millionaires 
but they still went shoplifting! That’s why we have to keep 
an eye on everybody that enters the shop. I’m sorry if it 
makes you feel bad when shopping, but it’s part of our job. 
There are, however, some people that we are more careful of. 
We always keep an eye on groups of young boys. They often 
take something small: sweets, a can of drink or some crisps. 
It’s very easy to see them doing it. If we catch them the first 
time, we tell their parents and hope that will stop them. But if 
it happens again, we inform the police. It’s our duty.
And what kind of people shoplift? Is there one type of shoplifter 
or many different types?
There is a big difference between someone stealing just to 
show off to friends and someone stealing to make money. 
Young people often steal things on impulse. But there are 
also people who come to the shop in order to steal. I once 
caught a man who didn’t want to show me what was in his 
bag. I called the police. And when they searched the man 
they found that the man’s trousers had specially-made 
pockets and both trouser legs were full of stolen stuff. Later 
it turned out that his house was full of stolen things. He stole 
the goods and sold them at lower prices.
Thank you very much for talking to us.
