What can he do to get better employee parking lot security at a UPS facility?

[UpstateNYUPSer(Ret)]

In some states the employer is required to have available parking for all employees on duty.

Is the employer also responsible for the security of the vehicles parked therein?

Seriuosly, though, 2 or 4 mil Security Window film makes it substantially more diffcult to break into a car by way of a window.
I know folks in Houston, though it is not cheap.
If you were to PM me, i could provide info for Houston installers.

Limo tint is illegal in many states.

I can park right in front of our glass entrance doorway immediately in front of the shop.

Glass front so outsiders can watch you laying down on the job?

UPS is not responsible to even provide parking, much less security for it.
I kept my car clean of any items to steal and did not lock the doors.
I never was broken into while others were.
UPS tends to build in the not so nicest locations.

Wouldn't of mattered in St. Louis missouri.

They were cutting out the catylic converters in vehicles for the scrap metal.

Unless it is a police car.

Unless it is a police car.

Cops can also use their cell phones while driving.

Enjoy the show. I'll be here all night.

 

[BigUnionGuy]

Anyone have any advise for him?

Theres not much you can do per se, but see if a manger or supervisor can talk to the city or police department directly. With a few complaints you can often get at least a few more police patrols around your area.

Most thefts like this are druggies looking for quick sale items. Hide everything.

Don't leave valuables in your vehicle. Seems like a no-brainer but worth mentioning

Who mentioned tint? Security film is a different animal.

Unless it is a police car.

Our sheriff has some Explorers with tint so dark it's opaque.

An Explorer with dark tinted windows means either Feds or drug dealers.

Wow! I leave my keys in the truck. We haven't had any problem in my 26 plus yrs

Same here. I swing thru the lot, drop my lunchbox, start my vehicle and it's nice and warm when I get in.

At my building LP has a cow if you drive a package car through the employee parking lot and stop at your car. Could be stealing packages.

Not referring to limo tint, Security film which is still legal % just stronger than no tint, or even window tint itself.
Get all the folks who have had their cars broken into to go to the Cops as a group and ask what they will be doing to make the parking lot safer.
Cars today, people getting beaten up and robbed next.

 

[toonertoo]

But, they could steal the dog......

And that would be very awful
