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) 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.
•    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.
•    If you find that your room has been entered, DO NOT GO INSIDE. Go to a neighbor and call Campus Safety. If you are already inside, DO NOT TOUCH ANYTHING. You may disturb evidence that is important to the police investigation.
•    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.
•    Students living in campus housing are not allowed to block open doors to dormitories or other buildings. Use of fire exit doors is in violation of fire code.
•    Do not allow strangers to follow you into your residence hall.
