I was late to work today because of a ribbon cutting, and I walked in on a pow wow in the reception area. The whole staff was there with a police officer, because we had been broken into the night before. I don't keep anything worth stealing in my office, and our laptops are locked to the desks, so I don't think anything major was stolen, just the pop money and some spare change. But a couple of desk drawers that had been locked had been pried open.
We've been stolen from several times before - they only thing we can think of is that it's the cleaning people, because there was no forced entry on any of the doors, so they must have had a key. But it's just a hunch, so we change the locks and hope for the best. The police have worse things to think about. The officer was telling us about some of them, the things we never hear about. And probably don't want to know about. Sometimes a false sense of security is better than worrying about something you can't do anything about.
2 Antiphon:
Enough knowledge to be cautious and take precautions, but enough ignorance not to let it dominate...
We have big glass windows one one side of our office, anyone could break them and nick the computers - which aren't locked to the desk.
I forgot my wallet the other night, but luckily it was hidden under a works order. But it does make you think...
Glad nothing major was taken, anyway :-)
Urg. Still, it's a bugger that the company's been stolen from before and that it might be an inside job.
