Paul Huizcnga, who heads Metro's shoplifting detail says the average housewife-shoplifter would be horrified by the thought of stealing anything from her neighbors or even from a stranger.

But she feeis a department store is fair game. Stores Are Fair Game The attitude toward a large store is, "They'll never miss it," Huizenga says. Slate Attorney Richard Gersteio says "a special problem Is that In some instances you are dealing with people who suffer from kleptomania and jail sentences don't help them much. They need psychiatric treatment." In other cases, the women steal for less obvious psychological reasons. But the largest number steal to obtain things they don't have money to buy.

"Sometimes their husbands give them just barely enough money to buy food for the family." Huizenga says. "So they steal clothes and other items for themselves." Teenagers Take Half About half of the shoplifting in Dade County is done by teenagers between 13 and 18. Huizenga says tpen-age shopl fting is contagious. When one shoplifts for the first time he tends to tell his friends and they try it often for "kicks," seldom for need. The longer the youth gets away with it the more likely he is to make it a regular practice.

"In the thousands of teenagers we have contacted, I have yet to come across a parent who wasn't absolutely shocked," Huizenga says. "Sometimes the problem has existed for years and it still romps as a shock. "I have always been amazed how a parent could have a daughter wearing stolen $19 blouses and not become suspicious." Huizenga tells of one young shoplifter whose closet was "loaded with expensive stolen clothing." The mother's dumbfounded reaction was, "I never look in my daughter's closet. I trust her." ceed by entertainer Gene Ray- PW Miss Miami, second, and Beverly Sternberg, Miss Broward County from Fort Lauderdale, first. Miss Egland was honored at a coronation ball last night at Fort Lauderdale's Pier 66.

She was crowned by the reigning Miss U.S.A., Macel Leilani Wilson of Hawaii, after being judged the fairest in the bath- ing suit and evening gown appearances.

I it Huizenga says once a parent is informed of his child's shoplifting he usually is able to straighten out the situation. Ninety per cent of the juveniles who are caught shoplifting never do it again.

From time to time, a ring of professional shoplifters turns up. One ring that operated out of Atlanta sent pros along the east coast of Florida, pilfering department stores along the way and sending back trunkloads of merchandise from each city they hit. Among the "pros" are a large percentage of narcotics addicts who sell what they steal to buy dope. Gerstein says some "pros" even steal "to order," lifting the particular items that "fences" ask them for. The Metro Public Safety Department averages about 75 shoplifting arrests each month.

It is estimated that twice that number are caught by store managers who think they are doing the right thine by recovering the merchandise and letting the offender go without a police report. The security chief in one major department store says: "The manager who releases a shoplifter without filing a police report is merely passing him along to his fellow merchant."
