Bicycle Registration Allison encourages students to register their bicycles with Public Safety. He'll hand out the registration forms in the residence halls, but he points out that any Public Safety officer will register bicycles on the spot if a student asks. We can return a stolen bike to its owner when it's recovered. If they don't know because the bike isn't registered, they'll cut the lock and impound the bike for this infraction. Allison thinks they work together.
Someone living or visiting a friend in a residence hall sees a wallet on a desk in a room.
They need money, perhaps for a night on the town, and they take it. It's done quickly, before they think through the consequences. The biggest deterrent to potential thieves, he says, is for students to lock their doors when they're not in their rooms.
