8. Preventing a theft is easier than catching a thief
Protecting your personal property begins before you arrive at ARCC. Here is a list of things that you can do prior to arriving on campus that will help you better protect your property:
Make a list of your property
The list should include make, model, color, and serial numbers
Make sure to bring your list with you, and leave a copy with your parents or another relative
Check on your insurance coverage

9. Have your insurance agent’s telephone number
Register your computer with a technology tracking service (if affordable)
Ex: find my Iphone
Have an adequate number of quality locks to secure your property, if applicable

10. Personal property, especially electronic property, should never be left unattended. Take these items with you or secure them before leaving
Never leave cash or jewelry in plain sight
Be sure your wallet, purse, or money it is out of sight and in a secured location
People look in your car

11. Keep track of your blank checks
Keep track of your blank checks. Never leave them in an unsecured location. The theft of a single check can go undetected until your next bank statement reveals a forgery.
If you have a bicycle, always lock it with a hardened lock and park it where you can keep an eye on it.
Do not leave your bicycle unmoved for extended periods of time.

12. Your computer is one of your major college investments…be sure to take the time to protect that investment! If your computer is stolen, so are your saved files, term papers, homework, and notes - Backup your important files - Safeguard those drives as well The loss of some of these documents will create more hardship than the loss of the computer itself

13. Another major investment that needs to be protected is your automobile…and protecting it is easier than you think.
Park your car, when possible, in a well lit area that is not secluded from public view.
Never leave your keys in your car
Always lock your doors

14. Never leave property in plain view in the car
Take it with you, or put it in the trunk
Be aware of people loitering in the area, and report your suspicions to 911
Contact Public Safety with other security concerns that are non-emergency
Do not hide a spare key on the outside of the car

15. Above all else, BE INVOLVED IN YOUR CAMPUS COMMUNITY!
Public Safety at ARCC will do all that it possibly can to protect you and your property…but we cannot do it alone. Local law enforcement departments have proven that community watch programs can be effective when citizens become involved. You and your fellow students are not only the minds and hearts of ARCC…you are also the eyes and ears.
IF YOU SEE IT, REPORT IT
