Security tape on the box?
Security sticker on the box?
Security stamp on the box?
Serial number on the receipt?
Any of the above barcoded?

"EXCEPTIONAL CUSTOMER SERVICE
This is, far and away, the single most effective thing you can do to 
deter shoplifting. By knowing where your customers are, offering your 
assistance, and anticipating their needs, you will virtually eliminate 
shoplifting. An alert employee is your most effective weapons against 
thieves who thrive on anonymity.
Isn't it strange how virtually everything about successful retailing 
eventually comes around to quality customer service?"
