 Subject: Theft Alert

The University Police Department would like to inform our community about
eight reports of laptop computers being stolen from campus buildings since
April 27, 2007.  In each instance, the owner of the computer has left their
possessions unattended for brief periods of time.  Computers have been
taken from study areas, unlocked offices, classrooms and the Illini Union.
Thefts have occurred between the hours of 11:00 a.m. and 9:00 p.m. 
Additionally, purses and wallets have been taken under similar circumstances.

We realize many are studying for final exams and it is easy to become
complacent about securing items.  It is imperative that everyone secure
their possessions or ask a trusted friend to watch them even for brief
trips to vending areas or restrooms.  University of Illinois Police
officers are conducting additional walking patrols throughout campus.   We
seek your assistance in preventing the thefts and encourage everyone to
report suspicious individuals to the police.
