In a managed building with 24hr security, 3rd floor up, 2 swipe doors to get into the office. And 4 laptops have somehow been swiped

Inside job, or crap security

Oh and no forced entry to the office, one of the cabinets has been ripped open but that's about it

Edit: Bugger just realised the DVD's I borrowed off my colleague have been swiped too, crap.

One of our buildings got robbed...not too sure who it was but the police recovered everything. I suspect it may have been the builders renovating the building...

Bit of both I'd imagine. Internal security is just as important as external but is normally pretty lax.

It's amazing how far you can get into places you shouldn't be just by acting like you should be there and people not challenging who you are.
 
Surely inside job, I can't imagine anybody wasting their time to get into a building with that security to steal 4 laptops.
 
Had a bizzare break in here. Someone broke into my bosses office stole his laptop and the guys office next door to mine.

The weird thing is...my office has IT stamped all over it and they never touched it :confused:
 
Sounds like one of the security gaurds is supplementing his crap wage to me.
 
we have had 4 laptops kniked here aswell, from a room with only 3 keyholders but they couldent be sure who it was (Everyone knew though :( )
 
We had a security guard that stole a safe. He dragged it about 20 meters to his car, then smashed the back window of his Volvo when he closed the hatch lol. He then went to his HQ, quit and handed in his uniform. Then took the safe home and spend 3 hours trying to smash it open (at 3am to the delight of his neighbours) His neighbours called the police who arrived a few hours later.

The funny thing was the safe was full of old paperwork that didnt have any value. The guy was obvisoluy hoping for a big score because he quit etc.

Lol, what a well planned robbery. We were robbed a few months back, and a few cameras etc were stolen. one of the strange things was they had stolen a laptop bag with a laptop inside, however the laptop was found abanoned. Seem like they used the bag to carry the cameras, but surely the laptop is wort far more than the cameras. :confused:

Very true. When I was at college there were two classic robberies.

One involved the delivery of some new Dell laptops. The delivery man was busy moving them inside the building and another was busy loading them into the back of his van.

The next thing to get stolen were 40 brand new TFTs. Some people parked up behind the college and walked into a class room, cut the monitor cables and then carried them all into the back of their van. Both of these happend during the day and no one said anything to them.
 
someone in our place took a whole floor of pcs away in a van. We have 3 security guards who swear they didn't see a thing.

Stupid really as the pcs are ***** I suppose they must have had a buyer in East Europe or something otherwise there's no way to shift them. For me if someone steals on that scale the security guards should get dismissed for gross misconduct.

Don't swear. FF.
 
At my workplace (Secondary School) we have had about 11 laptops stolen / currently missing, one time they broke in a trolley and stole 16, idiots carried it to a mates house and his mum called the police, recovered all but 2 and i don't even think they got suspended.. All good spec P-M 2Ghz with 512 memory and 15" screens, RM Mobile 1, rebranded Asus. Worst one was a brand spanking new 17" Screen Dell with radeon 9700 onboard, 1Gb RAM, 80gb HDD etc.. that lasted like 3 hours, disappeard within 2 periods, lovely teacher prolly left it in an unlocked room.
 
Nothing is safe, a £30k tape machine got stolen from my work, someone managed to walk in, get through security, get past 3 smart card doors, go up a couple of floors, pick up a machine weighing about 30KG and then going back out the way they came and straight out the front door :eek:
