Over the last week Campus Safety and the Colorado Springs Police Department have received reports of two motor vehicle thefts (stolen cars) and six thefts from parked vehicles.

• Park in a well-lit area with high pedestrian traffic when possible.
• Always lock your car doors and roll up the windows.
• Never leave a spare set of keys or key fob in your car.
• Thieves will look for magnetic hide-a-key boxes.
• Be mindful of leaving anything of value visible in your car.
• Remove your registration and insurance information with personal data from your car.
• If you are securing valuables in the trunk of your car, do it before you arrive to park your car as thieves will watch parking lots at parks and trailheads.
• Do you have any perceived valuables such as a gym bag, lunch box, or packages visible in your car? These are still appealing to a thief who does not know the contents.
• If you don’t drive your car often, please check it as often as possible.
• Report any suspicious behavior, activity, or circumstances you observe on or around campus immediately.
