Crime Alerts
Avoid becoming a victim of auto burglary:
Burglary of automobiles is usually a crime of opportunity. This means to reduce the possibility of becoming a victim you need to always do the following:
*Never leave anything inside your vehicle that has value to you or to anyone else. For example: text books, CD's, laptop computers, clothing, gym bags, purses, etc.
*Always park in well lighted and well traveled areas. Burglars are less likely to brave the exposure.
*Park your vehicle on campus and not on the adjacent side streets to campus.
Of course, no one can guarantee that following all of these suggestions will prevent you from becoming a victim. However, your chances are reduced dramatically by following these suggestions.
It is important to be aware of your surroundings at all times. If you see anyone suspicious or broken glass around other vehicles, report it to the Baylor University Police Department immediately.
If you discover your vehicle has been broken into, don't touch anything or move it and call the Police Department at 710-2222 immediately.
