If you ride a bicycle
Register your bicycle.
Keep a record of the bike's description, serial number, and registration number.
Engrave the bike with an easily traceable identification number (such as a driver's license).
Park in a spot with many people around.
Lock your bicycle to a bike rack or a tree - but never a tree that could be damaged. Use a cable or chain (at least 3/8" Diameter) linked through both wheels and frame.
Never leave a bike unlocked. When possible, keep it indoors. If it is stolen, notify campus security or local police immediately.
If you drive a car
Drive with doors locked and windows rolled up.
Lock doors and trunk when parking. Take your keys.
Do not leave valuables in view. Store valuables in a locked trunk or take them with you.
Park in lighted areas.
Check the back seat before getting into a car.
When you are walking or jogging
Do not walk alone. Get a friend to go with you - especially at night. Carry a whistle.
Use public walkways. Walk on lighted paths and in lighted parking lots. Avoid shortcuts and dark or isolated spots.
Do not overload yourself with bundles.
Do not hitchhike.
