The same thing happened at work over a long, three-day weekend, but they did manage to get away with some valuable equipment. This building has large overhead doors at each end and one heavy pedestrian door. The trouble is....if they get in (they cut a hole in the wall), they can open the overheads from inside and drive the stolen eguipment out. In addition to the usual motion lights, we did three things to see that it didn't happen again.
1. Chained the overhead doors from inside with hardened chains and padlocks.
2. Designed and installed a 6 volt alarm circuit on the doors that uses the momentary contact principle (using hidden limit sw. on the doors). It has a battery backup in case they get cute and shut off the power). We can disable it using a well-hidden switch when we enter. If the door is opened, even a little, the siren, which is located outside under the eaves in a cage....literally SCREAMS ...can be heard for 3/4 mile, easily. Everything for this alarm circuit was less than $150. Remember, the battery backup needs to have a charging feature to the circuit.
3. I can't tell you what the third thing is. It's a secret....but legal.
I know the frustration associated with this type of breakin and I wish you luck in solving it.
