Our office building has been burglarized twice in the past 10 days. Part of the problem is that the tenants in our building are fairly sparse. The owner failed to maintain the building several years ago and was foreclosed. Now the bank owns the building and the realty/management company as well as bank are lackluster.
They stopped paying for the security system without telling the tenants. The couple security cameras in the entry area, "now they tell me", don't actually record anything. DUH!
These thieves come in late in the day, around or just after closing: 5 to 6 pm when the building is open and don't arouse too much suspicion. They were seen at one point and told the witnesses they were the cleaning crew. They were chased away but only after making off with the computer belonging to the county medical society.
In my own office, I now have had a latch plate installed. My security camera is in a spot where it cannot be approached without the perp being seen. I am going to start having video recorded and sent remotely for storage, as well as bolt down my computer. Luckily, aside from my computer there's not a lot of goodies in my office.
