"Unique, Supermarkets in Australia Utilize GPS to Prevent Meat Theft"
Drakes, a supermarket chain in Australia, has installed GPS tracking devices on high-value meat products to reduce losses from theft.

Who would have thought that the position of a piece of meat could be traced using GPS? A supermarket network in South Australia has been greatly disturbed by a series of meat thefts, so they are now testing a new security system. Here is the GPS system implemented to protect the meat from theft, as quoted from odditycentral.com on (16/4).
The innovative security solution involves storing premium meat cuts in a transparent box equipped with a GPS tracker, allowing accurate tracking of the product.
Although polycarbonate boxes are commonly used to prevent theft of valuable items in stores, Drakes has become a pioneer in Australia by applying them to meat. Specifically, high-quality meats such as Wagyu are considered luxury items, providing sufficient reason for Drakes to adopt this security measure.
John-Paul Drake, Director of Drakes, explained to ABC News that the value of each container reaches $35, so every theft means a significant financial loss.
He emphasized that the stolen meat has a price ranging from $50 to $100 per kilogram, indicating that this is their flagship product. Drake revealed that meat theft amounts to a total of $12 million annually from 67 supermarkets in South Australia and Queensland, and they hope that the implementation of this new GPS technology can significantly reduce such losses.
At present, the food supply chain in Australia is undergoing a 13-week trial, with each trial stage lasting for three weeks. If proven effective in dealing with meat theft incidents, they plan to implement it throughout Australia.
Container made of polycarbonate material, although it may not appear sturdy, according to John-Paul Drake's opinion, requires significant pressure to crack or force open.
It is more practical to pay for goods at the cashier rather than risk damaging them. Although the global cost of living has increased cases of theft, according to Drakes, high-quality meat is often the main target for criminals, who then sell it to obtain drugs and other items.
