Most thefts are crimes of opportunity. There were 15 cases of burglary reported at UCO in 1998. There are very few reported cases of auto theft on campus one in 1997 and four in 1998. Most cars that are stolen turn up sooner or later. The ones that aren't are at the bottom of some lake, or shipped off to Mexico to be sold as parts, Harp said.
Crime prevention is the key.
Harp stresses that people should just be careful to lock their doors, roll up their windows and keep their things with them.
