Have you ever received a notice from your apartment management telling you to lock your doors? At all times?

I have just received such a notice, taped to my door, from the building management, telling me to do so for my own safety and security. Contrary to their intent, the notice does NOT make me feel safe or secure, in fact, quite the opposite.

We HAVE security cameras everywhere...and I wonder what the management might have seen.

No, but they really should. We've had a lot of crazy stuff going on in the building, and we wanted to move but the prices have gone up too much.

@purplepen About three years ago they did a survey and asked us if we felt safe, and after we answered all the questions, we had security cameras installed, and for one month we had a security guard who patrolled the building. I spoke to him one night, and he said that homeless people were breaking in to the building, and sleeping on various sofas in the lobbies. He said he actually saw one fellow trying the back door, and when he saw the guard, he ran.

So I figured things had calmed down. I don't what could have happened to set off a security admonishment...again.
