Mesa Business Owner is Victim of Embezzlement
One of my clients, who owns several restaurants in the Phoenix valley, phoned ASAP Lock & Security the other evening. He needed a rekey at his newer Mesa Arizona location right away. He was in a really tense situation too. He informed us that his manager had just absconded with $50k stolen from the safe. We rekeyed his place stat. Then, when I inspected the office and saw his safe, I couldn’t believe my eyes. This tiny little rickety old thing that it is, I could literally pick up off the floor with one hand. Now, a forced entry wasn’t the reason for this crime. It was a crime of fraud really as the manager had full access to the safe, but my gosh if ANYONE broke into this place they could just lift that safe out of the office, throw it in the back of a truck, and be gone before the alarm company would have a chance to phone anyone. Wow. Now for restaurant owners, you have to spend some money for a safe. Costco or Walmart specials will do you zero good. You have to have options for cash drops and dependant on your needs, it doesn’t matter how many options you’d like…you are looking at an investment of at least $1500. So you have to think…Is it worth it? This locksmith in Mesa, AZ says…HECK YES. I informed my client of his options for a new safe based on his needs. To this time, my client has still not purchased a new safe and, quite frankly, I just don’t understand it. I’ve seen this so many times in this brutal economy, the penny wise pound foolish thinking. My clients always come back to me and say…should have listened. Moral of this short is please, business clients, if you have an outdated cheapo safe that is NOT professionally bolted to the floor, call the trusted Phoenix locksmith at ASAP Lock & Security and we will consult with you and deliver and install a proper safe for your needs. I guarantee it will be worth every penny.

Scottsdale Crime of Pools
The Scottsdale police informed the public a few days ago about the recent rash of pool equipment theft from residential properties. As the foreclosure wave is still with us, so does is the aftermath of the break. There have been few arrests, but Scottsdale police believe that pool equipment is disappearing from properties because of unpaid bills and the fact that the secondary market for used parts is fairly healthy. It is suspect that the pool guys who get stiffed from unpaid bills from their previous customers calling in bankruptcy might even take the pool equipment to help pay for revenue lost? Hmmm? Whatever the cause for theft is really with this pool parts ring rash, the fact is, that you should consult with your locksmith to make sure there is a good way to lock your side gates. This crime wave is happening via unlocked side gates and low walls. This we know. Pool pumps and such are expensive to replace, so lock em up and have your locksmith show you a good way to control access for your yard.

Identity Theft
A few days ago, this Scottsdale locksmith went to a service call for a woman who had her purse stolen from a store. Ladies, do not get distracted in a store and leave your purse in a shopping cart or dressing room! Well, that’s what this woman did because let’s face it, we are all so busy! We just want to shop and hurry on to our next “to do” item for the day! Well, misplaced purse ended up being a stolen purse, and she needed to rekey her house and we also changed the programing for her vehicle as well so her keys would not work for her car.
The police officer suggested she rekey her house, but unfortunately, the police officer that took her report forgot to mention to her to call credit bureaus as well. So this locksmith reminded her of that.
Remember, if you are a victim of identity theft, here is a handy list of the credit bureau numbers: Experian 888-397-3742, Trans Union 800-888-4213, Equifax 800-685-1111. Now it is my understanding that you just have to phone one and the other two will also receive the information, but if this happened to me? I’d contact all three companies and put a freeze on your credit immediately.
