This is exactly what my gym has (about 6 autos). The routes mostly all have top ropes (with #'s) and if there is an auto belay there is no TR. They switch the location of the TR and Auto's as well.
If the top isn't cliped it should be laying flat on the ground to let you know there is someone climbing above...if no one is climbing it is clipped to the top of the triangle and covers the start of the route...
if you don't clip it properly obviously the biner gets taken to the top and staff has to recover it.
to me this has to be the safest way to climb since you don't even tie a knot and just clip in...of course you have to remember to do so.
I guess that's why pieces of equipment and signs are posted on walls stating "CLIMBING IS DANGEROUS"
