Thefts too much for cops
What do the University Police do when it can't
solve a crime?
It asks the campus at large to help make
the collar.

That is what is happening with the rash
of auto burglaries and auto thefts.
The police are asking that students and
staff call the campus police if they see anything suspicious in the parking
lots.
Police blame the increase in auto-related
crimes on the high number of students on campus.
That theory does make sense. If a campus
around 30,000 students, that means a lot of cars to burglarize.
We know the police are doing the best they
can.
Admittedly, they cannot be in all places
all the time. That's fine.
We know they are not super cops.
Why not take the department's advice and
not be a target?
There is more to these crimes than just
the number of people on campus.
