Huge problem with kleptos

So I know there was a previous post in 2019 about the kleptos stealing objects from retail lots. However due to the persistent problem and the old thread closed for replys I thought I'd bring the subject up again....

So I opened a bakery and business is going grt, no problems other than it being annoying that all my customers seem to keep coming in with bags over their head. But onto the main point KLEPTOS 🤬. omg so I open a secondary retail after installing cottage living to sell all my home grown produce and have a lovely wee farm shop and almost every sim (even the customers) are stealing objects from my shop, small object, large object even my bloody till wtf.. so this wouldn't be so bad if it was an odd sim on occasions but I did a run of a few days and it was every day and almost every sim though they would help themselves to my decor. I have virtually no shop left by the time one sim decides to buy something. Also no one seems to see anything happening not even when they steal right next to another sim or even my own sim. This need addressing pronto as it is becoming impossible to have any decent gameplay.
