Doors to rooms were forced open and several laptop computers were taken. More details are attached below. More Hall was broken into during the New Year holiday. It seems the campus is now a considered a prime target for break in and theft. When you leave your office at night place you laptop computer or other valuable portable instruments in a secure location like a desk or file drawer or somewhere else out of sight. A locked drawer is best. Keep the door to your office closed and locked if no one is in the room during the day. Report suspicious people in your areas.
