[Students] Thefts

[Joan Lawrence]

Recently, an above average amount of thefts have been reported to the
University Police Department.  These thefts stem from "crimes of
opportunity". 

 

Purses, laptop computers, book bags, wallets, cell phones, and other items
of value are being left unattended in classrooms, on public benches, in
cafeterias, our library, or in other public places, readily available to be
stolen by any passerby just because they lay unguarded.

 

It is recommended that everyone take just a few seconds to verify that all
valuable property is accounted for before leaving an area. 

 

The University Police Department recommends that anyone finding unattended
property call UPD immediately, and stay with the property until an officer
arrives or otherwise instructed.
