Bike theft fell dramatically after the campus joined with the city to register bicycles on campus. Thefts of wallets, purses, and backpacks are common.
Most thefts occur from vehicles and unlocked or unattended rooms.
A thief needs only seconds to steal what it takes you hours to earn. If this has not been your habit in the past, it is one you should adopt. A room that is unlocked for even a few minutes is all the invitation a thief needs. Several thefts have taken place in unlocked rooms while the occupant was inside sleeping. Remember, for your own personal safety as well as the security of your property, lock your room door when you go to sleep at night.
