There are several services available to aid in theft prevention. We encourage you to see us about these programs. Often, the best protection you can provide is to not leave valuables unattended and to secure them when they are not in use. The University prohibits weapons of any kind on campus. There were 301 petty theft reports in 1999.
Crimes of opportunity are the most common crimes committed on campuses across the nation.
These crimes involve the theft of property left unattended. Lock your room doors and never leave items like your bookbag, jacket, wallet or purse unattended. Bicycles are a popular mode of transportation on campus. There were 42 reported stolen bicycles in 1999. Lock your bike to a bike rack, not a handicap ramp, tree or signpost.
