Small-Premises Haunting

Guard the few rooms thieves actually want.

A pharmacy’s refrigerator. A restaurant’s liquor cabinet and cash drawer. A school’s computer lab and supply closet. One specialist learns every door, every route, and every weak spot in those rooms, and makes the intruder reconsider.

Each of these is a standing member of the night shift, with a price you can read out loud.

Restaurants & bars

The Spirits Cabinet Patrol

Guards the liquor and the cash drawer, the two things thieves actually want.

A cold spot beside the medication fridge, exactly as cold as the fridge and no colder.

The Summer Break Pass

Coverage for exactly the ten empty weeks of summer, so you pay only for the exposure you have.

What customers say

A pharmacy, a school, and a bar and grill

Small rooms, specific valuables, and one specialist who knows every door.

Customer

The back door has not been tried since the draft arrived. The refrigerator log has never been better.

Gus LindqvistOwner, Main Street Pharmacy
Customer

I have cleaned this building for thirty-four years. For the first time, I come in at six and the hall is already quiet. Somebody had my back all night.

Dorothea WhitcombeHead Custodian, Westmarsh Middle School
Customer

The grease thieves stopped. I did not know people stole grease. Apparently they did. They do not now.

Beverly CastellanOwner, The Copper Kettle Bar and Grill
From the team

Matching the cold spot to the refrigerator log was my idea. The Proprietor said it sounded like a lot of effort for a draft. He signed off the next morning.

Cold Spot DaveIT and Monitoring

How a small-premises night works

I ride your closing routine in reverse: back door, stockroom, the room with the cash or the medication, and the front. Then I stay where the risk is. A late-closing restaurant gets a different night than an empty school, and a pharmacy gets a cold spot exactly as cold as its refrigerator, and no colder.

Every night ends the same way: a plain written report on your desk by morning, even when nothing happened. Especially then.

A restaurant night · Delivered at first light

The cellar is quiet now.

A wine cellar, a thief with two empty crates, and a wall that was not there when he came in.
