I tried one of the warehouse doors and one of the idiots left it unlocked and un-alarmed.

I walked through to the office which was never locked (the warehouse to office interior door) but on a separate zone and the alarm goes of. I go outside and wait for the police. I explain what happened, showed them my access card and how it was recognized but restricted. Showed them my business card, the GM's business card and explained how I had to come in early because of the blizzard if I wanted in at all and that I was supposed to have unrestricted access.

Out came the guns -- one stayed on me while the other cop scoured the place with his drawn.

It all ended peacefully with some phone calls from the alarm company to the GM.
