Tip of the Week:

Protect Your Property

More crimes of theft are committed on the Gustavus Adolphus College than any other crime. Thefts 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) to your room or residence and windows locked at all times.
  • Report defective campus locks on windows and doors IMMEDIATELY to the Physical Plant Office at 7504.
  • Do not put your name or address on key rings.
  • If you lose the keys to your residence, have the lock(s) changed. On-campus residents should notify Residential Life immediately.
  • If you see a suspicious person or vehicle on campus or in your neighborhood, IMMEDIATELY contact the Campus Safety Department or the Saint Peter Police Department. Try to get the license plate number.

Bicycles

  • Invest in a good U-Bar bicycle lock. Locks are available in the Book Mark.
  • Always lock your bicycle. Bicycles should be locked around the frames to an object such as a telephone pole, sign or lamppost, bicycle rack, etc.

Vehicles

  • Keep windows rolled up and locked when unattended.
  • Keep vehicles cleaned out.  Items left in vehicles are inviting to thieves.
  • Remove anything that may advertise expensive electronic equipment in the vehicle.
