Before I retired in 2016 my home base was Sebastian, Florida (at Velocity). Badges had been required for years. Passcodes at the gates. Pilot were expected to report anything suspicious.
I was in a T-hanger when an unknown car and person drive up to the gate, went to his trunk and removed an old stop sign with a tether road, tossed it under the gate to trigger the exit-open and drove through.
I called the local police and did not approach the guy. Police first spoke to me, then to him. Later they told me he had a pilot license and with 15 minutes of search was able to find and show them his badge.
I supposed throwing a stop sign must have been more convenient than remembering his passcode.
