So far, it seems our potential thief took nothing. He broke a window in the lower level, and there is very little to steal there. The children's library, meeting room, and storage are there--children's books, an empty room, and detritus shouldn't appeal to a thief. We're thinking that the potential thief heard a signal trip (we have a system that alerts clerks to patrons wandering off to restricted areas) and that frightened him into leaving before he had time to go upstairs where the computer lab is located. What he didn't know is that we have a silent alarm that automatically called the police, so he was fortunate to hear the audible signal to the clerks, or he would be sitting in jail.
Sadly, though nothing was stolen that we can tell, this is going to force us to spend valuable dollars on installing a better security system. We have a wonderful technology center and learning lab, and it is imperative we protect that investment.
