I have been to a Lowe's store in Virginia that had a dirty little wood shack in the back of the lumber area with the door completely unsecured. Guess what was in it...the core router and switches and firewall for the entire store. I had to get a bunch of lumber from the bin next to the shack and that is how I discovered it. I told management and they were like "Well we will have someone check on it..." two months later it was still in the same condition. Lowes, get a clue.
