Help with theft prevention

I work in a store with an opticians, and we had a theft today of £250 worth of glasses. Basically the stands that the glasses are stored on, the small rimmed glasses are easily slid through. I need a solution like this. I'm after something like a straw, but a very thick straw, about 20 to 30mm in diameter, with a core running through it at about 9 or 10mm diameter. It needs to be flexible to bend about 70 degrees, but rigid enough that the glasses cant be squeezed out.



Anyone got an idea of any pipe etc that I could get that would do the job?

It's a little hard to imagine your method of securing them, but would=20 cheap foam pipe lag make it hard / awkward enough to stop them=20 disappearing in a hurry ?

not very clear there - but maybe a flexible water pipe inside another, eg the stuff used for fishtanks & cars

Yes, A pic of the stand would help considerably ie none of us have a crystal ball.

IME the more expensive frames are kept behind glass. The cheaper stuff is on free display much as it would be in specsavers, but your Lindbergs etc. are behind glass and you only get to fondle them if you're actually picking a set of glasses.

You'll need a focus group to solve that problem.

They caught the guy who stole them - he claimed he had been framed.

So they put him in gaol. Finished sentence and let out. Went and did the same again.

Obviously refractory to punishment. :-)

Unless he claimed discrimination as a result of chromatic aberration....

Perhaps somebody will bring him a bokeh.

That's a different sphere altogether.

That's a very short sighted way of looking at it.

Aren't you just distorting the story ?

Or maybe you're the one looking at it through rose coloured glasses

We were somewhere around Barstow, on the edge of the desert, when the drugs began to take hold. I remember Andy Hall saying something like:

Could he live with a stigma?

No - CDDS, chromatic deficient disorder syndrome :-))
