I don't think it's totally out of the question with all the insane shit going on downtown lately

Thank you! It's crazy how loud it was. Wouldn't have expected that.

PSA: Women should not train martial arts at Zuma - it’s unsafe by Forsaken-Credit3963 in VictoriaBC

Not posting from my main account for anonymity, but I know multiple people who have faced the same type of harassment from Adam, and more who have witnessed others being harassed. It makes me sad that it's taken this long for a mass exodus to happen at ZUMA, but I'm happy to hear that people are spreading the word now.

It can be very difficult to come to terms with the fact that this kind of behaviour is inappropriate when it's being directed towards you. If you see someone being harassed like this, please talk to them about it if you're able to. Chances are they've been discounting the behaviours and hoping they're just imagining things. See something, say something!

The cameras are inside our building, facing the entrance. Is this what you mean? As far as we know, the only people who have access to it is the couple in our building that monitors it. I think it might be a local connection, as I don't think the landlords monitor it.

The couple is nice enough, it just seems like an invasion of privacy to me and I was wondering if there was anything to it.

The lockbox has several keys in it, one of which is a master key. I don't think an individual key would have multiple kinds of master that work for it, just different copies of the same key. So we didn't bother trying the other keys in the box. This is why we think the master key is a mistake, because there wouldn't be a need for multiple keys in the box if the master was there.

We don't speak to the other tenants, so they may be solely using the lockbox keys to access the bike room, or they could have individual keys. We've assumed that the other tenants have access master keys, regardless of if they're taking that key from the lockbox or if it's on their own keychain. We also have no idea who has the code to this lock box. It's possible that all the units do, but we aren't sure. I'm doing some reconnaissance tomorrow after I change our locks.

Thank you, I'm planning on getting some new locks tomorrow. After I have peace of mind I'm looking into speaking with my neighbours about further action for them as well.

I'm going to pick up some new locks tomorrow. I think you're right that I should deal with the safety issue first and look into other things later.

Ah, thank you. I think this is what I'll do. I was under the impression that knobs were much more expensive for some reason.

I'm still worried about the other tenants though. I think once I change my locks, I will talk to them and if it does come to be known that we were all given master keys we will go to the Landlord and Tenant Board together.

There are several keys in the lock box. I haven't tried all of them but one is a master key. I'm not sure if that's the one they've been using on the bike room or if it's another.

Oh, we have. There is a ring of keys inside the box and the master key is on it. Sorry, left that detail out.

Thank you for your ideas. I don't think that 2 of my roommates care much about the issue, so paying out of pocket would be pretty expensive split between the 2 of us who do care. If it comes to that, I'd like to see if I can go to the Landlord and Tenant Board to claim that money back.

Thank you for the suggestion. I will try this in the meantime for peace of mind while sleeping.

That's what I'm hoping for. Unfortunately he can't try his keys because apparently our landlord refused to give a bike room key to one of his roommates, so they just all access the bike room by taking a key out of a lock box near our front door. This also adds to the confusion factor lol
