Disclosed herein are computer-implemented methods and systems to facilitate prevention or detection of theft of an item in a shopping container. A controller attached to the shopping container receives a first signal from a first transmitter upon entry of the shopping container into a first area within a store. A second signal is received by the controller from a second transmitter upon entry of the shopping container into a second area within the store. After receiving the second signal, the controller receives the first signal again without having received a third signal associated with a third area within the store. In response to receiving the first signal again without having received the third signal after receipt of the second signal, the controller automatically causes switching from a normal mode to an anti-theft mode associated with the controller.
