Judging from the statistics, most probably a lot. Most just got away. Most stores have pictures of suspicious folks in the lost prevention offices, though. I knew someone who used to work in lost prevention and did keep an eye or two on some “frequent shoppers” if you may. He scammed $30k of stuffs and probably got noticed and tagged. Lost prevention people have to catch you on the spot or cops have reasonable suspicion to get a warrant & even a court order for a search. There was a case in the States where a person/team scammed Apple Stores $80k US with fraudulent returns & exchanges, but it is most probably because it involved $80k US of iPhones...
With such a big problem you would think, at least for the bigger chains, invested in things like RFId for checkout which is harder to fool.
