I know the lights are on a timer. Perhaps the hours of leaving the light
on should be lengthened, to accommodate the ever changing daylight lengths
of our latitude. The first timer setting I'd try would be to have it on
from 4pm to 8am, with no changes for daylight savings time.

My opinion on this is that our mailroom thief is at it again. For
deterrence, the cost to add video cameras to the mailroom is somewhat
steep, so the board would likely want to have some feedback from owners
supporting the expenditure.
