KAK - I always remember the Seinfield episode when Jerry wouldn't let a man in, as he didn't recognise him - and he lived on the same floor as him!
I think that if you live in a building with security, no matter how inconvient it is, if you need work done, YOU as the owner/landlord should be there to let the people in, and not wedge doors open etc.
I hope your condo units return to safety soon.

Thanks everyone.When I got home tonight and went to mailbox, I saw the flyer about the car that had been stolen with some new info at the bottom of it. The car is a 1992 Honda Prelude and it must be this person's second car. The person found the car in another nearby city and it was reported to have been parked there since Thurs. May 23rd in the evening. Maybe this was the get away car that the burglars used. This morning when I was walking to my car to go to work, I saw a truck with at least one workman going into my building. I didn't notice any doors propped open. The truck said something about Kitchen/Bathroom Remodeling on it so someone must be having work done in their condo. I sure hope that things can get back to normal and that something can be done to help protect our building and units much better.
I'd be very suspicious of the workers. Please be safe, KAK.

DO NOT BUY WHILE SHELTER ANIMALS DIE!!
Do you have dead bolts on your doors? If not, consider adding them. It is quite easy to get in to a door knob lock, using a credit card - I've done it when I've locked myself out, in the apartments I've lived in. Fast, quick, easy, and no one even realizes you are not using a key to open the door.
.
Yes we do and I always make sure to lock my door using a dead bolt. This is one of the things that they were reminding people to do as well as to keep your windows closed when you're gone. I even have a wooden board that I place in the space next to my sliding glass door when I close and lock it. My parents also do this. This makes it very hard for someone to break into your home through the sliding glass door.
Best wishes, Tracey. I sure hope they catch whoever did these things. As long as they're still out there, this could happen again.
Those are good ideas for increasing your security, the dead bolt for the door and the wooden board by the sliding glass door.
Is there a condo association that hired these workers, or was it an individual owner? Could the association put pressure on the owner to be there to let the workers in, not just allow them to prop the door open?
Sending along all our good wishes and positive energies that you and your kitties stay safe, KAK.

KAK, I can't begin to tell you how very sorry I am to hear that your safety and security has been compromised. When we got home from church on Palm Sunday, Mike found that a rock had been thrown through a window of our back door. There is a deadbolt there but it can only be opened from the inside with a key that we remove when the back door is not being used. There is no latch there to unlock the door by reaching inside so whoever did this couldn't get in. Maybe a similar lock might work for you too.
FIND A PURPOSE IN LIFE.....BE A BAD EXAMPLE
Yep...we live in a relatively upscale neighborhood, and lately, there have a few homes burglarized around us.We installed a video surveillance system, hoping knowing they are being watched will keep the thrives away. Thefts have been increasing. Don't know what jerks think they gain by invading the privacy of others and stealing.
I'm not excusing the behavior whatsoever, but with real unemployment in double digits and many jobs paying minimum wage and few benefits, I can think of a few things they could gain:
Food
Rent money
basic living needs
Medicine...
It's the wrong way to do it, but when push comes to shove, thigns happen.
