SGs Posing A Security Risk
Re: SGs Posing A Security Risk
First, I agree that people put way too much trust when they leave stuff unattended in strollers. All too often at the Stroller Shop I would hear people whine that someone stole their $800+ video camera, or their food, or hundreds of dollars worth of Disney merchandise, you name it. My take is, if it means that much to you, don't leave it lying around! Lockers only cost a few dollars, why risk losing an $800+ video camera to save $5? And don't get me started on the people who lose their $300+ strollers....the reason why I never bring my $100+ stroller to Disneyland.
As for calling in Security, I once called them for a guy wheeling around a strange looking device on a dolly around the DLH lobby. He looked like he was in the hotel for work reasons, but he wasn't a CM, nor did he have a visitor sticker. I called Security and reported that there was a guy wheeling a strange looking device around the DLH lobby and gave the guy's description. 10 minutes later one overweight security guard saunters in with a smile on his face like he had just been flirting with one of the young female lifeguards. I point the guy out to him and he saunters over to the guy to talk to him.
A couple of weeks later I had reason to believe someone paid for their purchase with stolen Disney Dollars. I called Security and reported someone may have just passed me stolen/counterfeit Disney Dollars. Within 3 minutes I had 2 uniformed Security CMs and a Security manager in the area actively looking for the person. I pointed the group out when they came out of Coffee House, and Security started tailing them.
Moral of the story: Disney Security cares more about people stealing from them. Both of these cases turned out to be false alarms, but with all the notices Security sends out with the message "Report all suspicious activity," I would have expected both these cases to get a similar Security response.

My opinions are mine and mine only. If my opinions are the opinion of others who happen to share whatever my crazy views may be, then fine, but it's not because I represent them in having my opinions. Got it?

Don't be fooled by appearances. In Hawaii, some of the most powerful people look like bums and stuntmen.

Speaking of leaving important things in unsecure places, why would you carry around your marriage license in the first place, let alone leave it in a fake bobsled seat? :shrug:
Worst thing is when someone has the genius idea to lock up a stroller. In a really inconvenient spot. That just happens to block the most critical bottleneck of a 3000 person queue. Yes, it was a cheap and empty stroller too.

Yup, it's always the $20 umbrella strollers that get locked to a fence. Good thing, too, as the bolt cutters are too old and dull to cut a lock, or even a fence....AlpineDL wrote:Worst thing is when someone has the genius idea to lock up a stroller.

Yes we do! And we leave the lock there so they *know* the stroller is missing. Always great fun! :hysteria:
