<p>I’m a student who has had numerous items stolen and I’m tired of this BS.
I have attempted to speak with the public safety department at my college and they are not exactly interested in my suggestion. It would be nice if parents knew what other colleges are doing about dorm thefts and police.</p>

<p>These are some links to these colleges and the program I’m talking about.</p>

<p>Yes, dorm thefts and apartment thefts increase during winter and spring break periods. All students should make sure that they lock up or bring home valuables and certainly do what they can to secure their apartment or dorm room. Apartment dwellers should also make sure that their windows are locked. It’s wise also to put lights on a timer and to leave a radio running.</p>

<p>The same goes for faculty. Twice when I was a college newspaper advisor, someone broke into the newspaper office during winter break and stole our best computers even though the doors had deadbolts.</p>
