I sort of know why, but having been unable to buy 2 CDs in the last 9
months because the shop had lost the disc, I wonder if there is a
better way. Couldn't they put a security tag on the case?

Yes they can.  Check out Borders bookshop when you are next in Auckland.
I hear they are putting up one in Cuba St soon.

Funnily enough, shoplifters steal the album, for the cd in the case. It only
takes a few seconds to grab the cd out of the case and put the case back on
the shelf.

And security tagging CDs will probably deter theft, but ruin the cd in the
process.

They can easily keep complete spare copies if there are any, somewhere else.
The empty case can then go back on display.

But then kids would nick the CD, and leave the case there!

In my experience that is because the staff have walked out the door with
it...
