Picture this: you and your buddies head over to the Student Union to grab a quick bite in between classes.

The food lines are packed and seats are minimal, so instead of waiting in line you grab a booth in the back before it’s too late.

By this time, your shoulder is knotted up from hauling that bookbag full of heavy school supplies, so you leave it be and head over to Subway. Afterall, you’ll only be gone a few minutes.

When you get back, you notice something’s missing and it’s not the extra mayo on your sub. Guess that bookbag had more in it than just school books. Are you really surprised?

Given the recent increase in student enrollment, it seems more than likely that theft will increase.

Not only will it happen to students, but professors and surrounding businesses as well.

UAPD is suggesting people lock up their things, even if you are only leaving them for a few minutes.

But no one should have to tell us that.

It only takes a split second to be a victim of theft, so take lots of precautions in order to prevent it.

Keep your wallets close and try to avoid carrying your social security card around.

How hard could it possibly be to memorize a nine digit number?

Your backpack doesn’t have to have anything valuable in it for it to be snatched.

Just the possibility that it might is enough incentive for any criminal, so keep that in mind.

Make sure you lock up your house or dorm room, even if you are just going down the hall to the vending machine.

Your intruder probably wants something to eat too, and he’s willing to go to much larger measures to get it.
