Tuesday, January 22^nd - 10:20am to 11:10am, a laptop was stolen from White Building.

Two witnesses saw a man in the White Building acting suspiciously (wandering the halls, looking into rooms, avoiding eye contact etc.) just prior to the theft.

Campus Police reminds everyone to report suspicious activity immediately by calling the dispatch center at 368-3333 with a description and direction of travel of the suspicious person. Also, be sure to secure any easy-to-carry items; especially laptops, cell phones and I-Pods in file cabinets or locked closets. A thief can strike quickly, so even if you will only be away from your valuables for a short time, lock them up or keep them with you.

If you need any further information, or would like a security survey of your work area, please contact the Crime Prevention Office at 368-2908 or e-mail Brian Hurd at bkh@case.edu.
