Q&A: How to stop a burglar from striking again?

Question by CracKnuckles: How to stop a burglar from striking again?
I work security at this factory and people have been trying to break in. The actual factory is full of sensors and I’m not so much worried about the inside of the factory. The outside fence area is the most I’m concerned about. I’d say its about 2 football fields in length and 4 in width. Someone cut the fence and stole metal scrap that they have outside the building.

Everytime something bad happened, it was when my fat coworker was on duty. So I doubt she did any patrolling. They changed my schedule and now I’m taking over her graveyard shifts. Honestly, I think the area is a lot for one person to cover. It’s poorly lit and the outside surroundings is just trees and empty fields. So I can’t tell if someone was watching or not.

I always do my patrols and variate my routes. The fence is already fixed but I still have this feeling that they’re going to attempt to break in again. They have cut the fence from the opposite sides before and it’s hard to completely check everything while closing the time window for them to break in. I need effective tips and ideas to keep them at bay.

Oh and, the area has signs that say “security camera” but there’s actually no functional cameras around the place. I’m pretty sure the Bulgars know that at this point. There’s nobody working here but me. No factory workers, no civilian witnesses. Just me.

Is my Toyota’s “security” system not supposed to go off if a door is opened from inside while “armed”?

My 2001 Toyota Solara was broken into the other day. They pried the window out a little, then pulled it up off the track over the bumpers. The safelight guy who repaired my window today told me they probably popped the window out, then reached in and unlocked it, then opened the door. I tried it today. I got in, locked the car with the remote, then unlocked it manually and opened the door and the alarm did not go off. Is that normal with a factory stock “security” system? When does the alarm actually go off? (Without me pressing the panic button on the key-fob) Should I invest in a newer, better security system?

Try your test again. Wait about a minute or two in your car. You probably didn’t give the alarm time to arm itself. Most factory alrms take 30 seconds- some one minute. If you perform the test and it still doesn’t work, something is wrong with your alarm. Heck your alarm should’ve gone off. AAA came out to unlock my Toyota Previa and when the guy unlocked my door the alarm went off. Your security system is enough. It has the ignition disabler and other stuff. If a thief wants your car, they will still get it even if you had four alarms on your car. I think it’s fine, but retry your test to be sure.
