Three burglars in the server room
I work in a network company as a security guard. I work at night when the building is closed mainly looking on the monitors that are showing different places in the building. We have a regular surveillance system installed in the whole building, mainly the surveillance cameras. In the main server room we have also some movement detectors. I have been working in the company for over twenty years now and I must say that till last week it was a very peaceful work. It was Friday, about midnight. I was as usually sitting in front of the monitors from time to time looking at them and reading a newspaper. I had a coffee. As I said it was just another day or rather night at a dull job. So I was reading a newspaper and looking at the monitors. I do not even remember when I fell asleep but when I woke up a moment later I saw a flash of a red lamp that was signalizing that there is some movement in the main server room. When I looked at the proper monitor I saw three silhouettes of people and I quickly alarmed the police. As I did not want to scare the burglars away I decided not to move from the place where I was. After all I was there alone with only a bat and a flashlight. The police arrived very quickly and they managed to catch the burglars. Later on the policeman said to me that three young people wanted to steal the computer equipment. They broke in through the window and they did not know that the building was secured. And I must say that when I am at work nowadays I no longer read newspapers. I just sit and look carefully what is happening in the building.
