It was in these two lots that police say Delpierre committed his crimes. Lots 59 west of the Lesar Law Building and Lot 23 at South Oakland Avenue and Douglas Drive are also frequent targets. All the lots have one thing in common - they are overnight lots. Sigler said students can help by reporting suspicious people that appear to be just standing around in the parking lots. Sigler said most people are picked up outside of their residence halls.
People normally walk to their cars and drive away, or park their cars and leave the lot.
Anyone who seen loitering in the lots should be viewed with suspicion, and reported to the police. Locked doors will not guarantee the safety of a vehicle's contents. Thieves in the past have shown little hesitation to break windows to gain access to a vehicle. Sigler recommends recording the serial numbers of such accessories as stereos and radar detectors. Items that can be removed should be locked in the trunk or taken to the owner's room to make the vehicle less attractive to thieves.
