I'd suggest getting some type of security bar that you can place on your door to prevent someone from bypassing your door lock.

@OverTheHill I have two of those door-sticks and use them.

@twiigss They can call for a ladder fire truck and get into a window if need be.
@cherokeepatti that's true

Do you keep a personal weapon on you?

The more people that can get a video cam installed the better. Seems like it’s getting worse everywhere. People on the prowl to take anything that they can these days from homes, vehicles, businesses, vehicles, mailboxes & front porch package areas.
Is your apartment building for Seniors or is it for the general population? If it’s for Seniors seems like the management would be worried about lawsuits if they don’t take precautions to protect the tenants and cooperate in the apprehension of criminals if there is an act of violence later.

@cherokeepatti You are right. It IS getting worse. I am not too worried, because there is a security camera pointed almost directly at my door. AFTER I am murdered in my bed, I can rest assured that the murderer will probably be identified...🤣🤣🤣

@NotMy1stRodeo Naw. After a horrible experience I had with the ex and a shotgun, I am too terrified of guns to have one in my house.

@4meAndyou Mace?

@NotMy1stRodeo Not legal in my state. Pepper spray is legal to use on animals if they are attacking, or in self defense only, but we can't have it shipped or mailed directly to us. I would have to be able to find a store that sells it.

There are video cameras there, right?

@4meAndyou my apartment rent was going to skyrocket 2 and a half years ago and I was able to buy and pay less. Rents are rediculous everywhere. I moved from the Triangle area in NC because it was too expensive. They're building these high rise upscale buildings everywhere and you'd think, older complexes would try and compete by offering better deals but they're chasing the higher rents for the out of state corporate owners. My apartment has a major black mold infestation 3 years ago and it took 2 attempts to fix it. The apartment above me had leaks and they didn't fix any of that.

@JohnnyNoir Which means the black mold will come back. I am SO sorry!

The ring cameras are pretty good although there can be latency issues.
If they report the incident to the police, i think they have to go over the tapes.
I think the management can actually be held liable if something did happen to someone especially if there were complaints.

Ive read your posts about your apt complex before. I wish you could move out of there. Maybe find a secure building instead?

I remember apartment and condo living and life. I feel for you and your neighbors.
I know I am blessed with a rural country farm where my Ring Doorstop comes with fur and teeth backed by me and Mr. Smith & Wesson, and signage.

Apartment robbery seems to be an acceptable crime in sanctuary cities. Few perps gets caught and those that do, are blessed with no bail and small sentences if any.

Please be careful and block your door at night and lock your windows.

@Sojournersoul I can't lock my sliding door...I had to remove the little locking mechanism on the glass so that my air conditioner's panel could fit snugly in the slider window. But I DO live on the 4th floor.

@4meAndyou They would need to be spiderman to crawl up there but make sure your front door is looked.
