There are also people here with nefarious intentions. MIT is a world class institution with all sorts’ of equipment to include – laptops, I-phones, cameras, and bicycles, and lots of them! Because of these opportunities, those with less than desirable intentions, prey at places like MIT. Between July 1 and 27<sup>th</sup> there have been 9 laptops, and one I-phone, stolen across campus – even a laptop was taken from the chest of someone asleep in the student center! There is no specific day of the week or weekend, nor time of day for these thefts. The trend is unlocked, or only locked with a cable, not STOP tagged, and mostly taken from the main group area of campus. There are no helpful descriptions of suspects to pass along at this time. <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>During this same time frame there have been 11 bicycles reported stolen. All but a $400 bike was locked with a cable lock. The $400 bike was left unlocked in a hallway! None of the bikes were registered with the Parking and Transportation Office. The value of bikes range from $200 up to $4,000, yes a $4,000 bike.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=style2><strong><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>SUGGESTIONS:</span></strong><b><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"'><br></span></b><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"'>Keep your doors, laptops, wallets, pocketbooks etc. <strong>locked at all times</strong>. <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=style2><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"'>Please report suspicious activity immediately – <i>you</i> are the eyes and ears of the campus. <br><b><span style='color:red'>See Something Say Something - call the MIT Police at 617-253-1212</span></b><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=style2><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"'>Safety Starts with YOU!<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=style2><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"'>Register your laptop computers at the next Laptop registration session (no date set as of this bulletin).
