Theft Prevention Did You Know? In most cases of personal property thefts commonly reported to Campus Safety, the items that were taken were left unattended - often for a very short period of time! You can greatly reduce the likelihood of falling victim to a personal property theft by removing the opportunity and taking/keeping your belongings with you - even if you intend to step away briefly. ​ Consider employing some of these theft prevention strategies to keep yourself safe on or off campus! Theft of Electronics Don't leave your personal electronics unattended - keep them in sight and within reach. ​ Pack lightly for the day and keep your valuables at home unless you need them. ​ Pay attention to your surroundings when taking out and using your electronic devices. ​ Consider purchasing a STOP Plate for your laptop or tablet to help increase chances of recovery in the event of a theft. ​ Keep a record of your device's information (e.g. serial #, make and model) somewhere safe to help increase the chance of recovery. Theft from Lockers Invest in a high-quality lock for your locker and use it! ​ Check your lock on a regular basis and replace it if it showing signs of wear. ​ Keep your locker combination or your key to yourself. ​ Consider leaving valuables that you don't need for the day at home. ​ Pay attention to your surroundings when accessing your locker, especially when depositing items into your locker. Report any suspicious activity to Campus Police or Building Patrollers. ​ Always double check your lock before leaving the area to ensure it is secure. Theft from Vehicles Ensure all doors are locked and secured prior to leaving the area. ​ Check to ensure all windows (including sunroofs) are closed entirely. ​ Don't leave valuables in your car - if you must leave them, hide them from view prior to parking. ​ Be mindful that charging cords, GPS mounts and other accessories left in plain view can signal the presence of valuable items in the vehicle. Keep them hidden. ​ Don't leave your registration or insurance paperwork in the vehicle - these documents have your home address listed. ​ Don't leave your home car garage openers in the vehicle - take it with you.
