Any creative ideas to prevent people from stealing a DVD from an opened DVD set?

If you come up with something, my local record store would love to hear it. They dislike the disc-stored-separately game, too.

I simply will not do the ‘disc-stored-separately’ route, @Seek. It’s nearly impossible with multi-disc sets, and the $ isn’t there.

only display a printout of the cover and keep the actual set in the back.

Sadly, this happens all the time in retail; it’s the reason why shrinkwrap and those awful clamshell packages exist.

I once bought a box of large, and extremely pricey, business envelopes such as these: http://www.staples.com/Staples-Tyvek-QuickStrip-Catalog-Envelopes/product_SS950127. When I got home, I learned that someone had switched the tops of two boxes, to steal “my” envelopes by substituting a cheap, paper product. When I went back to the store, I was told that this is common.

Attach a photo of the contents to the outside and then shrink-wrap the whole shebang?

I actually know someone that will let me professionally shrink wrap things. But, man, what a lot of time that will take.

One thing I have learned is that you cannot resell a DVD with a “busty” woman on the cover. I presume the teens steal the discs out of the boxes. They disappear every time.

I have a mall spot with room in the showcase. I guess I can lock a dose of them in there.

Maybe I could band them? Two ½” strips of paper that cross like a “t”, overwrapped with strapping tape. The paper would be to keep the tape from sticking to the box, and the strapping tape would be the security.
I just cut paper and tried it, and I think this will work!
