> Your office got off lucky.

I disagree. Sleeper guy wanted to crash & didn't want their hardware. There wasn't meaningful risk.

I think we make the mistake that perceiving risk makes it real. It's reality that determines our actual risk tho.

They got lucky in the sense that their exit door was unlocked, and anyone (not just the sleeper guy) could have discovered it.
This is reasonable.
right, thats why they were lucky
Did you ask the women in your office how they felt about that incident?
We had a drunk homeless woman sleeping in the ladies room at our office, during work hours. After that event we got a faulty intercom which creates countless problems with the delivery guys, but also a lot less interruptions from random people doing fundraising for random causes.
