Security Issues: Bikes, Codes, etc.

If you use the bicycle stand in the garage, be sure to lock your bike.
Some strangers have been sighted casing the garage.
A bike was stolen form the other condo building.
This past weekend, I noticed that two bikes were unlocked.
You can purchase a lock at Walmart. Save yourself some heartbreak.

In general, be wary of "unknowns" wandering around the site.
Strangers have been successful distributing pamphlets inside the building.
Our building, really isn't as secure as you may believe.
The numeric codes are easily obtained.
For example, an elementary school student revealed to a resident the code to the front gate recently.

Comanco and the 900 Marshy Board are aware of these problems and are considering options.
One possibility is a card access system or personal PINS.
Both of these require administration. Afterall, People will lose cards and forget PINS.
Perhaps a web administered system where the residents can manage their own PINS is a possible solution.

Get to know the people who belong.
Another resaon to introduce yourself to your neighbors.
Those elevator moments are an opportunity to network.
