Lock It or Lose It: Staying One Step Ahead of Thieves
Campus life is buzzing with activity, but it is also a prime target for opportunistic thieves. Every year, students lose laptops, phones and even bikes to theft—but it doesn’t have to happen to you. Check out these three tips from Campus Safety Services to secure your belongings on campus:
Lock it up. Whether it’s your residence room, your backpack in the library or your locker at athletics, a secure lock can make all the difference. Most thefts are crimes of opportunity. If it’s locked or attended, it’s less likely to be stolen.
Snap it and save it. Take photos of your valuables and jot down their serial numbers. This simple step can help recover stolen items or file an insurance claim if the worst happens.
Don’t let your guard down. Even a quick trip to grab coffee can be long enough for someone to swipe an unattended laptop or other belongings. Remember: Stay alert, lock your stuff and don’t leave it behind.
Your university years should be about learning and fun, not dealing with theft. Visit the Campus Safety Services website for more resources and services to stay safe this season.
Preparing for a Successful End of Term
Exam season can be stressful, and it is important we care for ourselves and our mental health while pursuing our academic goals. Carleton has many academic and wellness services and resources in place to support you—from study sessions with the Centre for Student Academic Support to the Wellness Services Navigator and the Wellness Desk.
