What are criminals looking for in University buildings?
Most cases of theft on campus are opportunistic. Students leave bags with valuables in plain view and faculty tend to leave their offices unlocked, providing criminals an opportunity to discover valuables, identification, credit cards and cash in purses and wallets. Locking office doors when leaving, even for a short period of time, can prevent opportunistic thefts. Do not lose sight of your book bags and purses when you are in public spaces. Never keep Social Security cards or numbers inside wallets and purses. These numbers can be used in conjunction with other identification to apply for future credit in your name.
