the basic restrictions are:
No overnight or long term storage, day use first come first serve only
everyone has to use work supplied locks that security has the master key for.
Security actively checks that the lockers are empty at night and cuts off non company supplied locks and removes contents on a regular basis.
and my company is not a super high security military supplied or anything like that..... just your basic PLD semi company.

I have heard this argument about lockers, and to be honest it puzzles me. One area where I heard the argument was at the airport - where I can easily park a van with no visability into what is inside a space far larger than a bike locker.
Also, there are plenty of lockers which have screen or mesh doors or sides so that you can easily see what is inside.
I would have no problem with having security actively checking lockers at night, as to removing contents, I assume that they would also tow cars left in the parking lot beyond normal work hours....
