Theft can destroy a lot more value than the goods themselves: - stolen goods are hard to sell, and like others have mentioned credit cards are re-sold to others who make most of the profit - even if there is a suspicion that a card has been stolen, it is often re-issued, causing a lot of operational cost even if it was not actually among those stolen A lot of other options too like others have mentioned.
