  1. A correction has been made to estimates in the Additional Tables, Table A39. A data processing error resulted in the double counting of businesses that reported items stolen in the “Other” category. As such we have removed the “Other” row from the table. This has not affected estimates in the specific categories presented in this table, which remain valid.
