No pictures but there's an airport near me that has a fence along one side but it just stops. It wasn't until a few years ago that they actually finished it. And there's always the good ol' fence that some redneck drove over with his truck.

I wish I had a pic for it, but never took one, and sadly, the site has been demo'd.
After exploring a local hospital last summer, I saw a small building across the street that was an abandoned doctor's office. The front doors were wooden, with plate glass windows that had been broken out; and to hold them shut was a realtor's lawn sign hung upside down over the knobs. It looked...kinda secure, from a distance, but it was still not a very good deterrent, especially with the broken out glass.
The hospital was pretty sweet, but this office was rather mundane, though I did find a vulture inside, consuming one of his fallen brothers!

I have a rather funny story, so my bud and I wear hardhats when we urban explore, most citizens see a few roughnecks in a hard hat and they think we work for the city. Now I never thought this would happen. A couple of days ago we were exiting an old steel mill and right, as we did 2 police officers, drove by us, looked and waved and continued on. Most people said "well maybe they just don't care" I have been caught there before they do care ALOT. I truly believe that a white hardhat holds some power.

You could just slide the fence over.

Preparations for Hurricane Dorian.

I'm interested in seeing how this works out for them.

Although I don't have any pictures, I do like this story. A few months ago I was staying at a hotel right outside DC for a friend's wedding. We arrived at the hotel a few hours early, so I decided to go look around. I went to check out the basement, which was really just the bottom floor of the parking garage, only to find the elevator machine room, the old communications room, and a closet that was being used as an archive were all unlocked. In the archive room I found a butter knife on the floor. I came back that night after the wedding and used that butter knife to open every non keycard locked door from the basement to the elevator machine room on the roof. I had a fantastic time, and I re-locked every door I could, but I seriously considered writing a note the hotel to buy better locks. I doubt they would take my advice if I did, though.

Add a hi-vis vest and a clipboard and you're basically untouchable.

There's a gate at the jail by my house that's chained shut and wide enough to squeeze through. I also see the inmate walking around outside seemingly unsupervised. Seems like a pretty cool place.

Japan and Korea have some of the most pathetic security measures. In locations in both countries, I have seen dinky chains stretch over the access point. All you need to do is step over, and you are in the place. In Korea, you have a lot of brown tarps or pastel-colored blankets used to cover-up demolition areas. It's super easy to find a gap in those. These minimal security measures say something about those societies as a whole. Most people in Japan and Korea would never think about going into those places. I would say they mostly tune them out. I never get in trouble exploring in Asia. Most security people are puzzled why someone would want to check out an abandoned place.

Who "seals" a fence like this? LOL

Ive seen similar signs in Texas ghost towns.
Even though they left the place unlocked... I won't go in.
Poor devils
People who breakdown on I-20 and can't recover their car that day roll a window otherwise the thieves will break glass to get in.
They're pretty stupid here; sometimes they don't see the rolled down window and still break out glass.
Break down in this shithole you need to stay with your ride especially after dark.

. . . preferably with a weapon nearby. Some of those places are just blatantly *fucked* up beyond recall - in some ways even more so than most of the "worst" urban neighborhoods I've visited. It's difficult to describe the kind of fucked up it is, it just is. I think that it has a lot to do with alcohol, meth, and boredom, but that's just a guess.

_{*For the record, there is no way to accurately describe these types of places without using the word, "fucked" in the sentence...*
I tried.}
