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:

1. 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.

2. Never sleep in an unlocked room or house.

3. Do not put your name or address on key rings.

4. Do not keep your room or residence and vehicle keys on the same ring.

5. If you lose the keys to your residence, have the lock(s) changed. On campus residents should notify Residential Life immediately.

6. Do not study in poorly lit or secluded areas.

7. Require callers to identify themselves before opening your door. Campus and non-campus residents should require official identification from all repair or service personnel.

8. If you receive obscene or harassing telephone calls, or several calls with no one on the other end, immediately notify the Campus Safety Department or the Saint Peter Police Department (private residence).

9. If you find that your room has been entered, DO NOT GO INSIDE. Go to a neighbor and call the Campus Safety Department. If you are already inside, DO NOT TOUCH ANYTHING. You may disturb evidence that is important to the police investigation.

10. If an intruder awakens you in your room, do not try to apprehend him. He may be armed or may easily arm himself with something inside the room. If he poses an immediate threat, get out of the room.

11. 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.

12. Students in private residences should consider installing “peep holes” and intruder chains on outside doors. Also, if returning after dark, leave a light on at the entrance to your residence.

13. Students living in campus housing are not allowed to block open doors to dormitories or other buildings or use of fire exit doors is in violation of fire code.

14. Do not allow strangers to follow you into your residence hall.
