It sounds like a good idea, but I have a feeling being able to store locked away stuff in a public place can lead to some serious problems.<br>Also, there are hackers who seem to unlock anything locked just because it's locked..<br>

This is something that we've floated around before, but I wanted to<br>
bring it up again in light of the thefts around Noisebridge. I'd like<br>
to buy some metal lockers for Noisebridge so that people can lock up<br>
their things (like the member shelves, but more secure). The cost is<br>
significant (a bay of metal lockers costs at least $500 and more), but<br>
I'll front the money for this. I'll recoup the cost by charging<br>
something small like $5 a month to members, and after I get the cost<br>
of the lockers back we could start putting this money to Noisebridge<br>
for revenue. The number of lockers would probably be lower than<br>
demand, so preference would have to go to members over nonmembers (or<br>
charging nonmembers a higher rate).<br>
<br>
It would also need somewhat regular enforcement to make sure people<br>
aren't using the lockers without paying their fair share, but that can<br>
be handled by just posting notices and eventually cutting off the<br>
locks. The lockers could go near the member shelves, we have plenty of<br>
space for them.<br>
<br>
What do people think? Are people up for lending money for buying lockers?<br>
