Archived We Were Broke Into

[Kartman]

Around 4 am today, a fool tossed a dumbell through the exit's lower plate glass, and in under two minutes made their way to (no shit) electronics and made off with two items totaling 700 bucks.

I thought there were alarms for this shit!?!

Nope, same thing happened to us a while back during one of the holiday closures.
We now have to strip the elec cases & take everything to a lockdown area.

Maroons.

About 4 or 5 years ago, all the stores around us got broken into & they made off with Apple products. Since then we strip our Apple case every night. Luckily we never got broken into.

Not the main entrance doors, which is retarded because those are the only ones that can get broken into, everything else (TSC, receiving, etc.) is alarmed.

We had an armed robbery attempt sometime recently. Someone near them happened to also be stealing something and a spider alarm went off and spooked the armed robber. He rushed out the fire alarm without anything and without hurting anyone.

Just $700? Doesn't seem worth it for that little, what a bum.

The front doors not being alarmed is good information to know

 

[Kartman]

Perhaps corporate will arm them? At least a motion detector?

Lol please like you'd rob the store or lift anything heavy out the doors. It's not your job to do heavy lifting for carry-outs remember?

 

[HardlinesGuy]

I know some stores have those big metal security gates that close down in front of the entrances. I don't know why more don't, it's a smart idea.

 

[anathema]

Yeah, that'll happen sometimes.

All store doors usually have alarms if they are forced open. However if the glass is broken the door itself was never actually opened. Glass break alarms are a thing but usually don't get installed unless a store has previous problems.

Yea the doors themselves have alarms but only with force. Had someone during the star wars release that thought we had the chewbacca raffle at our store (which we didn't) bang on the doors trying to get flows attention and they set off.

I realized there were no motion detecting alarms when I read one of these posts.

Would an alarm really have made a difference? They can still grab whatever they're taking and leave.

I thought there were motion detectors in all of the building. I used to work for a large retailer and the whole building was alarmed.

Howso?

 

[commiecorvus]

Howso?

Mostly that we don't want to get into the details of the security systems of the stores.


I've been watching this thread nervously wondering if it was going to get to a point where someone was going to say something that would get us in trouble.
So, to everybody, please don't give details that would make some would be thug get any ideas to break into a store.
Folks, we've got enough troubles without Spot blaming us for that.

 

[Kartman]

It's so simple!

Motion detectors at the entrance, or everywhere!

A jillion decibels of alarms going off!

Easy peasy... problem solved.

 

[redeye58]

Not really.
As soon as the baddies figure out what it takes to set the alarm to go off, they start doing multiple random alarm trips until law enforcement gets fed up.
A business my sister worked for had so many 'false' alarms LE threatened them with fines but, as soon as they stopped arming, they were hit again.
The roll-down gates would be more effective.
