Measures you can take to protect your business and personal property:

• Always lock your door(s) when leaving the office, even if it is only momentarily.
• Store personal items away from the office entrance, making sure they are not clearly visible and cannot be easily stolen while you are busy.
• Keep purses and gift packages out of sight and locked in an office safe, cabinet, or desk. Cash and stamps should also be locked up.
• Be alert for solicitors, peddlers, and strangers. An old trick is for a "solicitor" to engage you in conversation while secretly making a survey of your office set-up. Another old trick is a telephone call asking you to go to another location. While you are away, an accomplice enters your office and helps him/herself to whatever can be found. Please call the Management Office to report any suspicious activity.
• If an unknown person comes to your office to do work, please call the Management Office to ensure they are authorized to be in your suite.
• Do not let anyone into the building with your access card.
• When working alone or after-hours, lock the doors to your suite.
• When going to your vehicle, have your car keys ready. As you approach the car, check for any abnormal circumstances. Look inside and under your vehicle before unlocking your door. To avoid break-ins, please keep all personal items stored in your trunk or out of sight. Use common sense and do not keep valuables in your car.
