Book buy backs at the University Book Store go on year-round, but from now until finals are over is the best time to sell them back to get the best rate available. It is a shame that people can't trust anyone anymore. Give me a break, said Marce Terry, speech and language pathology graduate student. Theft of property is the most frequent crime anywhere, and UCO isn't excluded, Harp said. Harp went on to say that larceny is simply people taking advantage of others.
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.
