Theft ‘biggest’ problem on campus j Bicycles are the favorite target of campus crooks By Marlin Fisher Emerald Editorial Ediior __ it’s your first day on campus, you hove just chocked into your dorm room, mot your now roommate and all seems right with the world. You stop out of your room for just a moment to meet your neighbors and when you return, your stereo is gone. Or your CD's Or some clothes Welcome to college Crime is prevalent throughout society, and the University is no exception Many students fail to recognize this fact, belioving the University pro vides a more protective environment and that they can trust their follow students to look out for them "That's not the case," said Can-y Drayton, di rector of the Office of Public Safety at the Univer sity Drayton points out dial < ampus is open to the public., and not everyone on i ampus is a stu dent Drayton urges students to consider their University residence as their home, and to treat it as such “You wouldn't prop the front door of your home open so the pizza guy i .in get in," said Drayton, vet many dorm residents would not think twice about propping open the outside doors of their dome Doing so is simply an invita tion to criminals. There were 635 reported thefts on campus last year, as opposed to 20 reported crimes against people. “Theft is the biggest problem we have on cam pus," Drayton said. Bicycles are n common target for thieves Many students who leave their bikes unlocked and un attended for even a few minutes often return to find them gone. Bicycle thefts have increased by 35 percent since 1989, with mountain bikes increasingly be coming the target of choice. Mountain bikes typi cally cost between $300 and $1,000, und when not locked properly, the bikes provide irresistible targets to many thieves. Last your, there wore 167 bicycles reported sto len, yet less than 5 percent (eight bicycles) were recovered. Citywide, only 9 percent of all report ed stolen hikes were recovered. School break periods give thieves a better op portunity to steal because most residences are va cant during those times, said Tim Birr, public In formation officer for the Eugene police depart ment. During the 1991-92 winter break, Phi Gamma Delta, Alpha Tau Omega, I’hi Delta Theta, Sigma Chi, Burgess and Spiller halls and the University Inn were all burglarized. Police recovered more than 1,000 CDs, two VCRs and a number of ster eos and other property. Birr strongly recommends students get insur ance for their property in case of fire or theft. He also recommends writing down descriptions and serial numbers of all personal property and, along with photographs of the property, keep the infor mation in a secure place such as a safe-deposit box. While the number of reported assaults, sexual offenses and other crimes against Individuals are relatively low, they should not tie taken lightly. An average of 10 rapes occur during rush week every year, yet are rarely reported, said Beverly Collins, public information officer for EPD. Turn to CRIME.
