And it was a pretty dry, inflexible, "i don't give a ***** about your stupid bike" no. I tried to sneak it by the guys in the loading dock, but they said they'd have to clear it with the Bldg Mgr. No dice again. They're afraid of retribution, I guess. I'd have no problem bringing it in the freight up to my office & stashing it there, but the no-freight excuse is some BS liability reason. "If your bike was damaged, we wouldn't be liable". It made so little sense, I didn't even have a response to it. .
This is basically the problem I encountered as well, and none of my highly honed lawyer skills were capable of convincing the maintenance/security nimrods that I was making sense. Also, it's hard to argue convincingly while wearing a bike helmet.
