Theft common on campus
■ DPS recommends that
students keep a close eye on
their property and report all
thefts
By Aaron K. Breniman
Oregon Daily Emerald
Most people don’t think going to
the bathroom or checking out a li
brary book is a big deal. However,
if they lost a backpack or purse in
the process, they might think oth
erwise.
There have been a significant
number of personal property thefts
reported on campus lately. Last
week, the Department of Public
Safety received a half-dozen re
ports of stolen property from the li
brary, which doesn’t include bicy
cle thefts.
DPS Associate Director Thomas
Hicks estimates that each year, the
department receives about 150 to
300 reports of larceny, crimes in
volving property with a value of
less than $500. Library personnel
said they direct any complaints or
reports of thefts to the Department
of Public Safety.
Personal property theft is the top
crime on campus, Hicks said.

Downtown Visioning Project,
which has been studying and seek
ing methods to revitalize and ex
pand the downtown area.
“This is the next step in attempt
ing to revitalize Eugene — from
the west end to the east end,” said
City Councilor Nancy Nathanson.
“This is a major step in imple
menting the vision for the city in
the next 20 years.”
The new courthouse will also
feature many attractions to entice
the public, including a recreation
al riverfront area and art.
U.S. District Court Chief Judge
Michael Hogan said the building

Some students think that the
University area provides a sense of
security and don’t take the possi
bility of theft seriously.
“When I’m off campus, I keep a
close eye on my bag,” University
senior Joe Becker said while sitting
in the library. “When I’m on cam
pus, I usually don’t worry.”

Hicks said that the most signifi

The new building will also be
one of 10 buildings in the country
that will be a new model for secu
rity, he said, adding that security
will be subtle and not detract from
the appearance and community
feeling of the building.
“This site provides an excellent
opportunity to realize the city’s vi
sion for downtown,” Development
Manager Lee Bowers said.
Before addressing the crowd,
Torrey met with cannery workers
and emphasized to the crowd that
the City Council’s decision came
after Chiquita’s decision to close
the facility.

“I can’t stress enough how often
that’s the case,” he said. “I would
n’t even recommend asking some
one to watch your property, unless
you knew you could trust them.
It’s just not a good idea.”
Sometimes the cost of replacing
a bag or books may only be part of
the problem, in comparison to
what’s in the bag.
“All the time I take my bag with
me,” education graduate student
Tom Lindberg said. “It’s not the
monetary value — it’s the ideas.”
DPS statistics only represent the
thefts that people actually report,
which are only a fraction of the to
tal thefts on campus.
It’s important for students to re
port thefts to the department, no
matter how minuscule the theft
may seem, Hicks said.
The department regularly re
ceives property left in buildings or
other areas of campus. If a theft
victim has reported the theft, the
odds that he or she will get the
property back are substantially im
proved, Hicks said.
“If we go through some recov
ered property and are unable to
find any identification, then we
turn to the reports,” Hicks said.

come to talk to him and the coun
cil.
The city is negotiating to ac
quire the AutoCraft Body and
Glass property across from the
cannery site, which would im
prove access to the new court
house. According to a resolution
reaffirming council support for
the location, the council supports
the attempt to acquire AutoCraft
through negotiations, but said
that if necessary, the city would
support condemnation, provided
AutoCraft receives fair market
value for its property.
AutoCraft attorney Steve Cor
nacchia was out of his office

reached for comment.
