[Cp-bulletin] Holiday Informational ALert

Please distribute!

INFORMATIONAL ALERT
Issued: December 19, 2006

On the first day of the holiday break
the thieves took a look around and
were happy with the wallet they found.

On the second day of break
the characters came around, again.
As they looked for more wallets they
found two MP3 players and an unlocked door.

On the third day of break they came
back to MIT. This time they brought along more
characters to help with the loot...one wallet,
two MP3 players and three laptops is what
they stole for their true love today!

On the forth day of the holiday break someone called the
MIT Police at *100* to say 'there appears to be
someone stealing a flatscreen TV today'. The MIT Police responded
to find that yes indeed there was someone who didn't
belong and was soon placed under arrest.

So please don't let the holiday break
be an opportunity for the thieves. As you can see this is just a play on 
words but is a reminder of how easy it might be for 'characters' to 
steal your personal and MIT belongings.

Before you leave for the holiday break, take a minute to lock
your valuables in a locked file cabinet and a locked office or dorm 
room. Lock the doors and windows, too!
If you're staying here you're not alone. The MIT Police are always here 
- just call us at 617-253-1212 to report suspicious activity or 
suspicious people. Or, if your working late and want us to check on you 
just give us a call and we'll check on you, too.

The MIT Police are here 24 hours a day and 365 days a year. Please call 
us at 617-253-1212, utilize a blue light emergency telephone or dial 100 
in an emergency.

Wishing you all a happy holiday break.
