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.
