This was likely worse, the intent was explicitly to block the emergency exit. That was the point of the request.

Oh, trust me, you are not alone. Our 2 biggest offenders are also "highly religious, pious men", so there's that, too.

It was an “extra security” procedure put in place because at the time a gang had been targeting our stores by breaking in through the emergency exit, grabbing expensive electronics, and getting out in under 2 minutes. The machinery was meant to only be in place while the building was empty, with the intent of them opening the door and deciding that it would take too long to maneuver around it and instead just leave.

They could have just improved the security in their door.

Probably for less than the cost of a single attack.

They were almost certainly targeting your stores because it was easy. Probably because they were extremely vulnerable locks. (You’d be surprised how easy it is.)

I don’t know the logistics behind why they went that route. Eventually they upped the physical security on the electronics they were stealing, and then things just went quiet. 🤷🏻‍♂️
