Tip #9 – ID Your Property: Campus Safety Awareness Month

Mark your laptop, TV, audio equipment and other personal property with etched ID numbers — preferably BEFORE you leave for college — and have your parents keep an inventory of your property.  Your local police department can advise you how to do this. 

Keep checkbooks, credit cards and important papers that contain sensitive information like social security numbers out of sight and in a locked file to prevent identity theft.  Crime Prevention 101
