I wouldn't read too much into the wiki. There weren't people who were
against lockers in my memory, it just didn't have much support. And I think
there were some people against Noisebridge using it's own money to pay for
them.

Some people at NB are against involving the police in the space, other
people have actually called the police into the space. But yeah, I think
even when stealing is caught people don't file a police report. (Which I
think that's irresponsible.)

I've put up "no sleeping" signs at the space before. People anonymously
vandalize them or rip them down. There's been a small one on the pole above
the couches for a while though.

Currently I wanted to make the lockers available to everyone, but we can
bring this up for discussion at a meeting or in a separate mailing list
thread.
