Attention: Lock Your Room Doors

The Purdue police just issued a warning to all students living in the dorms to keep their rooms locked whenever they are not in the room due to recent burglaries. Early this morning eight rooms in Tarkington Hall and two rooms in Wiley Hall were robbed while the students were sleeping. Detective Lt. Fred Davis reported that the thieves took ten laptops, six iPods, two wallets, and one camera totaling $18,000 worth of stolen items.

Make sure to lock your doors especially at night. Lock your door even if you go across the hall to your friend’s room or to the bathroom. I know it’s a pain, but it’s worth it to prevent being burglarized. You might not think that anyone in your hall would steal from you; however, you never know who might wander into your hall and steal from you.
