On an average morning, most students charge right into their respective parking locations with only one thought in mind.
Get to class on time!
We lock our doors and head off to class, never once thinking back on the prospect that said car we drove to school in might not be there when we return. According to a recent article in the Daily 49er, such a prospect is becoming more of a reality than most students are aware of. Within a 14-day period alone, five vehicle thefts have been reported on campus, with only three of the vehicles reported missing recovered since then. Two other vehicle theft attempts were also reported by campus police, one of which was thwarted by the owner of the car herself after she managed to catch the suspects in the act.
With an unusual high rate of vehicles suddenly going missing on campus, it brings up the question of just how secure our little campus really is from crimes such as these.
"I think we're fairly safe, we just have to make sure we don't leave anything expensive out in the open where someone might see it and want to break in." said Israel Valencia, a Sophomore Computer Science major.
Well, whatever the common opinion may be on the subject, one thing remains certain...
lock up your cars before you head out to class!
