Summary
I discovered two (2) cars in the staff parking.
Details of the Incident
By 9pm, all vendors should be packed up or almost packed up. Since the main gate is locked at 8:30pm, everyone inside the facility should be checking in with security and giving them an EDT. During my first tour of the lot, I discovered two (2) cars in the staff parking of the Stafford Building. One was a beige 4-door Impala license plate 237-XEJ. The other was a silver 2-door Lexus vanity license plate GOTITON.
The Notification Process
After writing down the information, I walkied Kipling and informed him of the vehicles. He did not know the Impala, but was familiar with the Lexus. It belonged to Mr. Cole. He assumed that they were working late, but would take a tour and get back to me.
Evans --> Kipling
Technical Details / Fix Actions
License plates and descriptions were written down.
Conclusion
Waiting for a response from Kipling and keeping an eye out for wanderers on the lot or anyone outside the gates wanting to get in.

Summary
Motor vehicle accident discovered – no witnesses.
Details of the Incident
Due to the power outage, both Kipling and myself were casting a wider tour than usual during our shifts. Kipling reports not being able to see three feet in front of his face inside the Stafford building, and due to the lack of power in the security room there is nothing he can do inside. With Kipling touring the outside of the building, I am free to travel further more regularly than usual. In the far corner of the lot where it borders Insite Manufacturing, I discovered a motor vehicle accident. Specifically, a van had slammed into one of the trees that borders the property. The trunk of the tree had snapped and it collapsed on the fence. One of the city’s electrical boxes in on the other side of the fence. I cannot see clearly from our side, but it seems likely from all the damage that the box has been struck by either a limb of the tree or the van. In any case, it seems to have contributed to the power outage. The fence of our property is bent and the links snapped in some places. I am unwilling to get too close due to the electrical box and possible conduction hazards. It is unlikely that anyone will be able to climb over the fence from here, but will not ignore the obvious weak spot. Van is a white ford, license plate 672RHT.
The Notification Process
I walkied with Kipling to inform him of the issue and then contacted the city from the contact card.
Evans --> Kipling
Evans --> Dispatch, City Works Yard
Technical Details / Fix Actions
License plates and descriptions were written down. A rough sketch of the site is appended.
Conclusion
Unknown individual(s) crashed into the tree, which fell and damaged both the fence and the transformer. Fled scene, or had previously been taken for medical treatment. I lean towards fled since any emergency services would have contacted us.
Notes:
(Am not sure why no one noticed the accident. Surely the transformer would have sparked? The corner is out of the direct line of sight of the main building, but can easily be seen by the Insite people.)

Summary
Vandalism (property damage).
Details of the Incident
Regards to walkie call from Kipling at 2245. Became increasingly disturbed by the security system being out. Other than personal cell phones, it is our lifeline to the outside and should anything serious occur we would be effectively cut off. The whole point of a backup generator is that it provides a backup, yes? With this in mind, I called Johnson from the Malloy Building to my post at the gates. Yes, I know this is a violation of rotation and left a building unguarded, but no one is going to try and steal an auditorium in the middle of a blackout. I accept full responsibility should I prove wrong.
I left my usual route and went around the back of the property by the school. We had talked earlier with their security and all was dark and quiet there too. But the generator for the entire site is at the rear of their building behind the garbage dumpsters. I drive over and took a look around. I did not see the school security at all. But I did discover that the doors to the area had been forced. Garbage was all over the place and the doors into the utility room were open. The room was a shambles and several pieces of equipment have clearly been damaged. I got the camera from the car and took a few pictures. Driving around to the front, I got ahold of the school security and told them about it.
A copy of this report will be sent to Vicky to follow up. I took over from Johnson and he returned to his post. Got an all clear from him after he checked it out. Nothing seems to have happened in his absence.
The Notification Process
Evans --> Vicky Smathers
Technical Details / Fix Actions
School security was informed. A copy of this report has been sent to Maintenance.
Conclusion
Doubtful it was drunks, vagrants, or kids. Chances are it was scrap metal scroungers.

Summary
Suspicious person.
Details of the Incident
While driving around on a tour of the lot, I noticed a suspicious person walking on the other side of the fence near the Norman Annex. The individual was walking very close to the fence – which is a fair distance from the sidewalk – and towards the direction of the river, where there is nothing but pylons and blockades. When I drove up and got out in an attempt to make contact with the individual, they fled into the field beyond the road. I lost sight of them in the brush. Individual was an unknown male, wearing black pants and black hooded sweatshirt with the hood covering up their face. It is unknown whether the individual was perhaps the owner of the Impala attempting to regain possession before lot opening time.

Technical Details / Fix Actions

Conclusion
Individual was up to something. There is no good reason to be at that portion of the property and certainly not heading in the direction he was. There is no seawalk there and nothing provided for entertainment.
