RE: Disturbing Entry to the Building
 Early Wednesday morning, it was discovered that an attempt to pry the newly relocated fire dept. and city light lock boxes from the wall had been made. These boxes contain keys to the building and the electrical meter room. Fortunately, the attempt was unsuccessful as the boxes are now bolted through 9 inches of concrete.However, there was also evidence that the front (main) door had damage from an effort to pry it open. However, it appears that our new security measures prevented entry, and all other external doors showed no tampering.
On Wednesday, the fire alarm panel near the front door started beeping with the message that the phone lines connecting us directly with our alarm service monitor were not working. The phone company discovered that the phone line was damaged, and they made the necessary repair.
On Thursday, it was reported that the fire department lock box near the main floor elevator was missing. The box was taken by a thief that somehow entered the building. Lock boxes are prized by burglars as the keys they contain often open outside doors as well as allow elevator access codes to be bypassed. In our case the only keys in the missing box were to control the elevator itself. The police have been notified.
