What year was that? I was at a startup from 2010 onward and I'm pretty sure we had physical keys until about twelve people and after that it was straight to badges. There was never a time where you could just walk in.

Late 2010s. We actually did have badges but the doors were only locked outside work hours, so nobody carried them.

The thief had to walk past a security desk in the lobby, take the elevator up to our floor, walk past a front desk to the kitchen, then open a door to get to the office area. Probably sounded like enough layers for whoever was in charge of security at the time, but both desks were frequently unoccupied during lunch.

I know we had cameras too, but I never got updates on the investigation. I suspect it was an employee at one of the other companies in our building.
