Secure my ra$$!!!
It has been an interesting day so far, to say the least. On my first day back at work, I realise they have implemented “tighter” security measures. When you drive into the car park, they now note your name, license plate number and the time you enter. They do the same when you leave the building as well. As I entered the building I was instructed that I had to wear my Identification card at all times. I understand that more security guards have been deployed on the building, including an armed security guard on the Executive floor. I am not sure what prompted all this, but guess what? They have egg in their faces now!
At about 10:00 AM, an unknown man came into my department and burgled several employees desks. One employee was walking with over US$2000 on her to settle an international credit card debt, and unfortunately for her, the man made off with that. Thats over J$100,000.00, can you believe it? Boy, I don’t know what I’d do if it had been me!
But it also calls into question their new security arrangements, doesn’t it? Someone must be embarrassed, nuh true??

Some security…I’d be
That is scary to think that some stranger can come in and rob everyone, so easily. And this was after the big security checks?
So how did this ‘unidentified’ man get into the building???? Speaks very poorly for the ’security’!! And, might I suggest to this lady who was the unfortunate victim of the thief that in the future, if she has an international credit card bill to pay, that she do so using a bank draft! In the event it is stolen, a stop payment order can easily be made. Cash is liquid. Or, she could consider getting a Dual currency creidt card where you can spend in US and pay in the Jamaican equivalent. I know this is futile now, but if it happens again money may not be the only thing that is taken! Secure!? Yeah, right!
Something is very fisher with this story! Even I have a hard time gaining access to the parking lot much less the building.
you mean he came in when everyone was in the department and robbed you, or while everyone was out? if so, where was everyone? could an inside job be possible? like one of the said same security guards?
Exactly Seven, You have been there and you cant just walk in.
We aren’t sure how he got in. Once he was inside, however, he was home free, because there are always people about that you don’t know. As such, people get accustomed to seeing strangers and they aren’t challenged by anyone. Someone saw this guy sitting at an employees desk but didn’t think anything of it. He thought the fellow had a visitor and had left him there to go and get something. Apparently he passed me several times but since I’m accustomed to seeing strangers about, I took no notice. I didn’t even realise someone left the department right behind me, apart from the people I was walking with. We were certainly not very security conscious.
for real!!! this doen’t sound right. too bad that with all of the extra security jps decided to put in, they didn’t include surveillance cameras, that could have been very interesting!
So, when the girl was robbed, did not anyone think that they should have alerted security so that they could at least have tried to accost him before he exited the building??? Something is just not right at all!!
Oh dear. I really have not done a good job in explaining this episode, have I?The woman wasn’t held up and robbed, you know. She left her office and went somewhere. Apparently the man slipped into her office while she was away and snatched her purse out of her handbag. He then made his way into the men’s room and took out the money. He then stuffed the purse into the toilet tank. Later that day, another employee was using the toilet and it wouldn’t flush. Being a fix-it-yourself sort of guy, he lifted the cover off the tank to see if he could correct the problem. He found the purse, and looked inside it for identification info. He foud a picture of the woman’s daughter and so determined that it was her purse. He returned the purse to her and that is the first time that she was aware that she had been robbed. By that time the man was long gone. They know that it was him because he was seen stepping into her office.
seen by whom? if he didn’t work there, how come no-one asked him why he was there? huh?
Well, thanks for the explanation. But, it sounds to me as if you all were a bit too casual about the whole affair! Anyway, I guess that is not going to change the point that security at your office clearly needs some refinement!
