One of my student jobs involved the 12am-4am shift in the library's 24-hour computer lab (essentially, be a theft deterrent and babysit the printers). Part of my training involved being told to call a central number to confirm if someone tries to take a computer without any official email being sent to us ahead of time. The year before, someone walked in, placed out of order signs on a whole row of Mac Pros, and carted out 10-15 top end Mac Pro towers without anyone saying anything. ... It took over a month before someone who knew better happened to walk through and noticed the missing Macs. Also turns out there were no security cameras either, as the University library and IT department had a years-long fight over which department needed to foot the bill for cameras on that floor (after the theft, they quietly split the cost and put cameras in immediately).
