  • the average optician in Germany has between 1,000 and 5,000 glasses. In larger stores in e.g. In metropolitan areas, shops can have considerably more glasses. Such stores often offer models in the lower price ranges as well as models in the higher price ranges. These are usually set up in showcases, nitrines or wall brackets where the customer can help himself to find the right fit. Because of the size of the eyeglass frames, it is relatively easy for a shoplifter to hide the eyeglass frames in his pocket.

  • Anti-theft devices for such glasses frames are known from z. B. USP ⁇ r. 5437 172 (Lamy et al.). These work with a detection device at the entrances and exits of a department store to indicate theft. However, such devices do not offer individual identification of the respective glasses and can therefore only be used as part of a general anti-theft system.
