I think what happen to apartment car breaking is..
people always in a rush to leave the parking lot and don't wait for the gate to shut.

That you have to ask the residents of the building. You scrafice convenience to protection. Protection in like an onion, the more layers you have, the better protection you have. You can install 2 gates. All ENTRY as well as EXIT must be authorized (by human or electronics devices.)

But do you want to scrafice convenience while the insurance covers most of your property loss.  The company that I worked got broke into twice, police came and asked anybody hurted. They gave us case  # and left. What does it tell you.

之前我個棟野MULTIPLE 車BREAKIN， 連STORAGE LOCKER都爆埋。所以一定有內鬼，因為入STORAGE ROOM係要你有買LOCKER先有鑰匙。

for my building. i think the security measure is way better when i first moved in. we did have some car break-ins and some townhouse units got broken into as well.
but since the installation of the security cameras, more signage on the gates  and extra speed bumps. we got less of the instants.
our on-site caretaker was able to catch a guy who attempted to break-in twice and handed him to the police.
stopping after the gate is a must and getting to know your neighbors helps as well.

As usual, most people here have no clue.

At least they admit property crimes do happen around them in Vancouver.  The best part is, some of you deserve to be victims of crime.

Thanks Canada :victory ...

你真是一個可憐人。

I'm not sure about the high raise part as I live in the town house unit.

Our side only have one gate and high rise building have two if I didn't remember wrong.  The first gate is for visitor parking then the second gate is for resident.

When I first moved into this complex, it was pretty quiet and peaceful.
The past years, the original buyers slowly move out... and more younger couple or family move in... and troubles start raising... which quite annoying...

Our back door of  parking lot was broken in December 2008.
And storage unit was broken as well last year.  Our whole complex is line up with electronic lock.  However, people still manage to use tool to break the solid lock outside and cut all locks in the storage.

For all town house units, I think all units are equip with security alarm as well.  Honestly, I don't think it help much....

our building actually upgraded all the outside locks (from the default ones put in by the developer) so that they are harder to cut/break.
i am so far pretty happy w/ the strata and property management.

..
Which management company you guys are using?

We switch to a different company now since the management company we used was appointed by the developer.  And they done pretty much NOTHING at all..except collecting our $$$ monthly.... and... we never seen the building manager in person... The only way we can communicate with him is via e-mail ONLY.
