• Keep your car doors locked during the day, and place all belongings out of view or in your trunk.

• Do not pick up people in the parking garages who say they will give you their parking space in exchange for a ride. Not everyone on campus belongs here.

• Know the contents of your purse or wallet. If it is lost or stolen, you will need to act quickly to notify the appropriate companies.
