Tip of the Week

Protect Your Property

More crimes of larceny are committed on the Gustavus Adolphus College than any other crime. Larcenies are crimes of opportunity and occur primarily when property is left in unlocked or in unattended areas. In an attempt to alleviate this problem, the Campus Safety Department makes the following suggestions:

Residence halls and private residences

  • Keep the door(s) and window(s) in your room or residence locked at all times.
  • Report defective campus locks on windows and doors immediately to the Physical Plant Office at 7504.
  • Never sleep in an unlocked room or house.
  • Do not put your name or address on key rings.
  • Do not keep your room or residence and vehicle keys on the same ring.
  • If you lose the keys to your residence, have the lock(s) changed. On campus residents should notify Residential Life immediately.

Athletic facilities

  • Avoid bringing cash, wallets, watches, or other valuables to the athletic facilities.
  • Avoid storing valuable sports equipment in your locker.
  • Keep your locker locked whenever unattended. This includes those times when you leave briefly to shower, visit the trainer’s office or the equipment room, etc. Most of the thefts at the athletic facilities are from unlocked lockers.
  • Report suspicious persons and incidents of theft to the Campus Safety Department immediately.
