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.
