50-80% of all crime on campus each month involves the theft of unattended or unsecured property. The simple solution: your property must be securely locked or kept under your watchful eye at all times. Most victims of theft cite that they just left their property for “one minute” in a public area. This creates the opportunity for thieves to easily steal property.
While police and security departments are responsible for ensuring that our campuses are as safe as possible, the primary responsibility for crime prevention and personal safety rests with each individual.
