Do not overburden yourself with packages and groceries that make it hard to react. Carry emergency change for cab fare or telephone calls. If you suspect you are being followed by someone on foot, cross the street and head for the nearest well-lighted, populated area. Off-Campus Home Security Crime is a concern everywhere, and South Bend is no exception. Nationally, each day thousands of dollars in property is stolen from homes.
Student houses are no exception.
Indeed, student houses are frequently lucrative targets for burglars. It may be a question of when the burglar comes rather than whether the burglar comes. Students may contact Notre Dame Security and arrange to have a representative of the department come to their home to discuss security. The representative will be experienced in crime prevention and can help evaluate the student's present level of home security. Together, students and security can develop a plan to improve home security.
