The Spirits Cabinet Patrol
Guards the liquor and the cash drawer, the two things 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.
Guards the liquor and the cash drawer, the two things thieves actually want.
Watches the used cooking oil bin all night. Stolen oil is a real crime, and almost nobody guards against it.
A cold spot beside the medication fridge, exactly as cold as the fridge and no colder.
Asks every intruder for a hall pass. Most adults still freeze when asked where they are supposed to be.
Coverage for exactly the ten empty weeks of summer, so you pay only for the exposure you have.
Small rooms, specific valuables, and one specialist who knows every door.
The back door has not been tried since the draft arrived. The refrigerator log has never been better.
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.
The grease thieves stopped. I did not know people stole grease. Apparently they did. They do not now.
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
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 wine cellar, a thief with two empty crates, and a wall that was not there when he came in.
1 soul = 12 doubloons = 4 favors. A favor is a small kindness, delivered once a quarter. Dollars accepted, reluctantly, at whatever rate Ezekiel quotes in writing.
If an intruder fails to run off empty-handed and frightened, the way they always do in haunted houses, the night shall be forgiven. Claims within 30 days.
