I have lots of fun building management stories. A gate wouldn't necessarily stop anyone from getting in. Depending on how many people live there and are coming and going, that gate would be open enough for the thieves to get in anyway. All I've ever seen a gate do was stop the benign homeless just looking for a place to sleep, which is good, but they aren't the ones who smash car windows. Those guys have a plan and are really hard to stop. On-site security and cameras to see and chase them out right away is all I've seen work.

Not to say Anadad shouldn't put up a gate, I just wouldn't expect it alone to help against break-ins.

I mean, this is like arguing that you shouldnt lock your door because determined thieves can break in anyway.

I think you are seriously underestimating how many low effort crimes of opportunity can be prevented just by having a gate. In any case, that is obviously the first, absolute minimum effort step that should be taken, and the unwillingness to do even that much speaks volumes about his attitude, if nothing else.
