I'll start the ball rolling, haha.
I'm really upset, yet again, at my work. Four people have had their catalytic converters stolen from their cars in the same employee parking lot I use. Another person had it stolen from their car that was parked on the street by my office. I'm not sure if all those cars happened yesterday, but at least one did.
As usual, a mass e-mail has not gone out to warn people. I'm kind of freaking out about it. What am I supposed to do? I could take the bus for the rest of the week and hope it's a rash of this specific crime for only the next few days. But then that involves my walking for 8 blocks between the bus stop and my work, which is largely through an area that isn't very busy, especially in the morning. A few months back, multiple coworkers had been mugged in that same parking lot over about a 2-week span.
My work even has a security guard!!! They stepped things up after the muggings. But now the security guards are back to hanging out in the parking lot that is under the building, instead of the guard shack that's located in the problematic parking lot and is where dozens of employees park. With their faces glued to their personal cell phones all day. If they were looking, they could see non-employee(s) entering that parking lot and could at least walk across the street for that to have more of a "presence". It's all really frustrating and there isn't a good answer. I could try and find a different job (always easier said than done) but, unless it's WFH, it could be a situation that is just as bad if not worse.
