    So a person (or people) have been tailgating residents in my building to get in and steal mail. They have also been ringing random doorbells to convince residents to buzz open the front door.

    When one of our “doorbells” goes off it’s stupid loud, as in I can hear other neighbours bells. Anyway, one of the randoms came back and was just spam ringing. So I walked over to my intercom and told them to “give it a fucking rest bro” lol

    It’s stopped, so I’m happy.

    Fucking grubs.

      Does your building not have a security number you could call for that kind of thing?

        Nope, it’s a smaller apartment building; no security people. Just doors that require a keyring pass thingy to scan, unlocks the doors. Or residents can use their intercoms to open the buildings front door.

        We use the FB group page for alerts, as it’s a conbinations of the owner-occupiers (who have access to the security camera’s footage), and resident renters like myself.

        The police are already aware of the thefts and also have access to our camera footage. It’s just bothersome that they got in once via social engineering + spam ringing our intercoms, that they keep coming back and trying again. I’m hoping me having a lil yell at them has deterred them somewhat, though I doubt it.
