I wish id know there was no security guard. Ive suggested that all building needs is a nightime security guard, 8pm-5am, to deter any theft activity, but obviously been ignored.

Just been told to deal with it most of the time.
My bikes got stolen, got told they cant look into it as they dont know when they were stolen.
Most of the gym equipment was stolen due to poor security and unsecure doors. We were given a temporary security check up which has now gone and most of the doors are all broken and unsecure.
