At the Bike Church in Santa Cruz, we "86" (ban) individuals who either steal or otherwise abuse the space. If the situation warrants it, we call the cops.
Generally, we say "your behavior is not working for the shop, and you are no longer welcome at our facility. If you would like to discuss the situation and attempt to make ammends, you can come to our collective meeting." Until they come to work things out, they are not welcome. The tough thing is, for us, keeping track of who has been banned. It is important to keep a list and make sure all the mechanics are on the same page. We have different mechanics working all the time so this can be tough. Photos of people help, but that can be tough.

Police + we've banned people when they've clearly escalated beyond the scope of our control. We've taken away keys and permanent banishment with board approval.

Here at Broke Spoke we have had an individual who has been stealing on a regular basis and who is more self-fulfilling than actually contributing to the mission of the space. It is to the point where we think we need to ask him to leave the shop and to not return.****
Anyone have any experience with situations like this? Any retaliation? ** **
