Kyle & Jackie O reveal most stolen item from supermarkets
An undercover security guard has revealed to Kyle and Jackie O the item that is most stolen from supermarket shelves.
Calling in to The Kyle and Jackie O Show on KIISFM, the the woman who works as an undercover loss prevention officer for a major supermarket chain asked the radio hosts to guess what item was often targeted by thieves.
Kyle guessed shoplifters nicked razors the most, while Jackie O suspected tampons were regularly stolen.
They were both incorrect, with the security guard revealing the most stolen item was a hot barbecue chicken.
“That’s what getting stolen? A hot chicken?” Jackie exclaimed.
“Maybe they’re struggling, I don't know. But with the prices these days, everything is going up,” the woman said.
Jackie was intrigued, asking how people can unknowingly smuggle a scalding hot chicken out a supermarket undetected.
The guard responded, "Two of the ones that I stopped, [put the chicken] down their pants."
She went on to say they put the chooks down their "big, big trackies" to get the item out of the shops.
Coles barbecue chooks currently retail between $12-13 per hot barbecue chicken, with Woolworths also usually retailing at the $12 mark.
