Stolen goods
Thefts in the campus area have decreased in recent years, but students
should still take precautions to prevent being vtedmtted

According to the Eugene Police Depart
ment, about 200 University student
homes are broken into each year. While
robberies are fairly sporadic, there are several
steps that make a robbery less likely.
While the Eugene burglary rate is up 0.8 per
cent from 2002, thefts in homes around the
University have decreased. In 2003, there were
181 reported burglaries on or around campus.
That number decreased from 2002 by 31 re
ports, according to EPD.
"Usually burglars are looking for stuff that
they can sell fast," EPD Public Information Offi
cer Kerry Delf said. "Most robberies are drug re
lated. The burglar wants to get in, get stuff he can
sell and get out."
In 2003, 20 of the reported crimes were
solved. In the Eugene area last year, roughly
$6,039,597 of property was stolen for reasons of
robbery, burglary and theft, according to EPD.
About 8 percent of the property was recovered
and returned.
"When my car got broken into and my CD
player got stolen, I felt powerless, violated and
really mad," pre-psychology major Lexi Meek
said. "There was glass everywhere. I called the
cops, and they didn't seem to care."
Some consider robbery a matter of disrespect.
"You trust everyone until something like that
happens," senior Megan Melich said. "After that
it is hard to trust anyone or leave your belong
ings anywhere."
According to EPD, fewer robberies happen in
the South University area than in the West Uni
versity area. Most robbers choose to go through
screen doors or open windows and take almost
anything they can grab.
"Recording your serial numbers increases
your chances of getting your things back," Delf
said. "If you don't know the serial numbers,
then police can't return your belongings even if
they catch the thief."
Every piece of electronic equipment is en
crypted with a serial number. It is a good idea to
write those numbers in a safe place — preferably
not stored in a computer in case it too gets
stolen. Also, keep a list of CDs and DVDs to give

"The pawn shops can then keep an eye out for
CDs that come in that may fit your description,
and that may help us catch the burglar and get
your property bade" Delf said.
