Offices are normally unlocked during normal business hours and hundreds of delivery people and visitors are in the building throughout the day.  Outlined below are several measures you can take to prevent thefts in your office:

• Keep all doors locked after you leave the office.
• Instruct employees to keep valuables, including purses, in locked desks when unattended.
• Keep calculators and expensive items off desktops when not at the desk.
• Articles of value, including handbags and coats should not be left in unguarded reception areas, even for a few minutes, or on desks in offices.
• Thoroughly mix the combination when closing a vault or safe.
• Do not leave the vault or safe combination on or in a desk
• Notify Building Security when loiterers are observed in corridors or washrooms.  Report peddlers and canvassers to the Management Office
• Special care should be taken during times best suited for pilferage (i.e. thirty minutes after opening), during absence from work areas and office.
• Check wastebaskets at the end of the day to see if any equipment or other valuables may have been stored for later removal.
• Serial numbers should be recorded to aid police in recovering property in the event of loss or theft.
• Do not leave articles of value in automobiles while parked in the garage.
• Lock suite entry door when entry is unattended.
