Your hometown university has taken deliberate and specific measures to ensure that

you enjoy the best possible campus environment. These efforts have made UCF a

comfortable and welcoming place for students, faculty and staff members, and visitors.

UCF employs fully sworn professional law enforcement officers who are commissioned to

protect our lives and property and to preserve the peace on our campus. These officers

participate in all of UCF’s crime prevention efforts, and they maintain cooperative relationships

with the law enforcement agencies in our neighboring cities and counties to ensure our safety.

But we also need your help. Please read and follow the suggestions in this guide so that,

together, we can prevent crime in our community and make UCF a safe and enjoyable

environment for everyone.

UCF will make reasonable efforts to provide

notification about emergencies and natural or

man-made disasters affecting the university.

Each individual who has the authority to activate the

UCF Alert system has the responsibility of ensuring

that it is activated primarily for life safety situations,

and is not used for routine notifications. UCF will,

without delay and taking into account the safety of the

community, determine the content of the notification,

and initiate the notification system, unless issuing

a notification will, in the professional judgment of

responsible authorities, compromise efforts to assist a

victim or to contain, respond to, or otherwise mitigate

the emergency. emergency.ucf.edu

WhAT Is UCF ALERT?UCF Alert is a multi-media communications system

that provides timely and accurate information about

emergency situations that could impact the university.

The goal is to help keep the campus safe and informed

during an emergency.

The UCF Office of Emergency Management, the UCF

Police Department and UCF News & Information

determine which communications tools will be used

during an emergency. These entities work together

to provide timely and accurate information to the

UCF community.

UCF Alert features several communications tools,

including e-mails, text messages, Web updates, social

media, sirens and more.

Generally, e-mails and text messages will be used

only for events that present an imminent danger

to the campus community or that will significantly

impact university operations. UCF understands

that some UCF Alert recipients may be charged for

receiving text messages, and, therefore, will use text

messages judiciously.

Examples of situations in which text messages and

e-mails might be sent include, but are not limited

to, bomb threats, chemical spills, significant traffic

or parking issues, and extreme weather alerts.

At all times, the best source for official news and

information is the UCF website, ucf.edu. The site will

be updated during an emergency, as information

becomes available.

For questions about UCF Alert and how it is used,

contact the UCF Office of Emergency Management

at 407-823-6300.

VOLUNTARY CONFIDENTIAL REPORTINGUCF has several methods for individuals to report

crimes and other serious incidents on a voluntary and

confidential basis. If you are the victim of a crime and

do not wish to pursue action within the university

system or the criminal justice system, you may still

want to consider making a confidential report. With

such information, the university can keep an accurate

record of the number of incidents involving students,

determine where there is a pattern of crime with regard

to a particular location, method or assailant, and alert

the campus community to potential danger. Reports

filed in this manner are counted and disclosed in the

annual crime statistics for the institution.

ACCEss TO UNIVERsITY FACILITIEsUniversity facilities are well-maintained and in the

interest of the students, faculty and staff members,

security is given considerable attention. Many cultural

and athletic events held in university facilities are open

to the public. Other facilities, such as the bookstore,

libraries and cafeterias, are also open to the public.

Access to academic and administrative facilities on

campus is generally limited to students, employees and

visitors for the purpose of study, work, teaching and

conducting other university business.

CAMPUs sAFETY ALERT/CRIME ALERT BULLETINThe university relies upon its close, working

relationships with local law enforcement agencies

to receive information about incidents involving UCF

students, UCF police officers actively investigate any

crime tip received. When notified of incidents involving

a campus community member, a Campus Safety Alert/

Crime Alert Bulletin is released, detailing the incident

and providing tips for others to avoid similar situations.

In addition, the UCF Police Department has a mutual

aid agreement with the Orange and Seminole

County Sheriff’s Department and the Oviedo Police

Department—that provides for corporation and

assistance in emergency situations.

REPORTING CRIMINAL INCIDENTs AND OThER EMERGENCIEsAll students, employees and guests should promptly

report crimes in progress, life and death situations,

and crashes with injuries to 911. Specify your location

if you are calling from your cell phone. Stay on the line

until the dispatcher locates your jurisdiction and tells

you to hang up.

All other police business (crimes over with, suspicious

persons, questions, etc.) may be directed to the UCF

Police Department by phone at 407-823-5555, or in

as needed.

For more information and services and programs offered, please speak with a community relations officer during business hours. Some programs must have a three-week advance set up. Interviews for classes are by appointment only.

BICYCLE IMPOUNDMENTBikes are popular at UCF. The UCF Police Department

tries to keep the number of abandoned or non-working

bikes to a minimum, so students who ride their bikes

have a place to park. Throughout the year, the UCF

Police Department and designated personnel tag bikes

that appear to be abandoned (rusty chains, flat tire,

etc.) for a minimum of five days. If the tagged bikes

aren’t removed and repaired within five days, the bike

may be impounded. Once impounded, the bike may be

auctioned in 30 days. Proceeds from bike auctions go

to student scholarships and loans. For more information

about bike safety, visit http://www.police.ucf.edu/

BicycleSafety.html.

Bikes that are illegally parked (locked to anything other

than a bike rack) can be impounded at any time. To

retrieve a bike that was illegally parked, call the UCF

Police Department at 407-823-5555 during normal

business hours. There is a $20 impound fee for retrieval.

primary mission is the provision of advocacy services

to victims. Advocate Services hosts special events

to promote prevention awareness and provides

educational programs for the classroom along with

training programs for members of the UCF community.

For UCF students interested in advocacy–related

experience, we offer intern, volunteer and work study

through advocacy, education and training.

ADVOCATE sERVICEs ARE FREEAn advocate is available 24-hours-a-day to assist

students and faculty and staff members who are

survivors of crime, violence or abuse on or off campus.

The victim advocate’s role is to provide survivors with

support and information about all the options that are

available to them. This will include reporting options,

immediate safety and security, emergency shelter

and nonemergency medical services. Awareness of

all options allows victims to make informed decisions

about what’s best for them.

In addition to options, an advocate can provide crisis

intervention, emotional support, practical assistance,

criminal justice and UCF administrative support, and

appropriate referrals to on- and off-campus agencies

and resources.

without a police report.

sEx OFFENsEsIf you are the survivor of a sexual battery, sexual

assault, or date or acquaintance rape, and you do not

wish to report immediately to law enforcement, help is

available 24/7. An advocate can discuss all options,

so survivors can make an informed decision and receive

appropriate referrals and resources specifically related

for this type of victimization. A UCF advocate is always

available to assist you with or without a police report.

UNIVERsITY DIsCIPLINARY ACTIONThe Office of Student Conduct, under the Office

of Student Rights and Responsibilities (OSRR),

coordinates all disciplinary proceedings involving sexual

misconduct by students, as defined in The Golden Rule Student Handbook. Victims of sexual misconduct may

report these incidents to the UCF Police Department

at 407-823-5555, to the Office of Student Conduct

at 407-823-4368, or to UCF Advocate Services at

407-823-2425. Students charged with violations of

the Rules of Conduct as stated in The Golden Rule Student Handbook will be given notice of the charges

and complaints against them and will be provided

an opportunity to respond to these charges in a

disciplinary hearing. Victims of sexual misconduct will

be given the opportunity to offer comments regarding

the sanctions imposed upon the charged student,

should that student be found to have been in violation

of university policies.

When an alleged offender’s behavior poses a threat

to the university community, the director of Student

Rights and Responsibilities or designee may immedi-

ately suspend the student from the university on an

interim basis until a hearing can be convened to either

confirm or cancel that immediate interim suspension.

The alleged victim and the alleged offender will be

given the opportunity to be accompanied by an adviser

of their choice at the disciplinary hearing. Students

found to have been in violation of the Rules of Conduct

regarding sexual misconduct will be sanctioned

in accordance with the alternatives as stated in

the Disciplinary Sanctions section of The Golden Rule Student Handbook. These alternatives include

disciplinary warning, disciplinary probation, suspension

or expulsion from the university. University disciplinary

proceedings may be held in instances involving alleged

sexual misconduct, even when formal charges under

state law are not brought in the state courts.

By offering a wide range of services designed to

assist as well as educate students in resolving their

disputes, the OSRR combines Student Legal Services,

Dispute Resolution Services, and the Office of Student

Conduct. OSRR provides a forum that contributes to

the individual growth and development of the student’s

knowledge of community responsibility, due process,

conflict resolution skills, and university conduct rules.

Our resources are more effectively used by combining

and referring within the judicial knowledge base that

exists within these three services. For more information,

call 407-823-6960.

It is the policy of UCF to comply with the requirements

of the Clery Act in regards to providing notice to an

emergency contact or a parent or guardian when

a student living in on-campus or affiliated housing

is missing.

If any member of the university community has reason

to believe a student residing in on-campus or affiliated

housing is missing, they should contact the UCF Police

Department at 407-823-5555 within 24 hours. The

UCF Police Department will generate a missing person

report and initiate an investigation.

Students residing in on-campus or affiliated housing

will be informed on how to register their contact

person(s) by the Department of Housing and

Residence Life (DHRL).

Students have the opportunity to submit revised

emergency contact information at any time through

the myUCF portal. The myUCF portal provides faculty

and staff members, and students with a personalized

gateway to information and applications from one

secure, centralized location.

Students will have their contact information registered

confidentially. This information is only accessible to

authorized campus officials. It will not be disclosed to

anyone, except to law enforcement personnel, in order

to further a missing person investigation.

For persons under 18 years of age and who are not

emancipated, the university will notify a custodial

parent or guardian within 24 hours of the determination

that the student is missing, in addition to notifying any

additional contact person(s) designated by the student.

The Department of Housing and Residence Life will

notify the UCF Police Department within 24 hours of

the determination that a student is missing, unless the

UCF Police Department made the initial missing

person determination.

If a student has designated a contact person, university

officials will notify that contact person within 24 hours

after it has been determined that the student is missing.

Regardless of whether the student has identified

a contact person, is above the age of 18, or is an

emancipated minor, the Department of Housing and

Residence Life will inform the UCF Police Department

of a missing student within 24 hours.

The mission of the Department of Housing and

Residence Life (DHRL) is to provide students living

in university owned, managed and affiliated housing

with a safe and secure environment that is conducive

to academic and personal achievement. In addition to

providing supervision, structure and resident services

in our communities, our department promotes the

personal growth and development of each resident

through intentional programming efforts and outreach.

In our partnership with other units within the Division

of Student Development and Enrollment Services

(SDES) and the larger UCF community, our department

strives to foster scholarship as a fundamental purpose,

instill a sense of community, and support individual

responsibility, creativity, integrity and excellence.

INsTITUTIONAL FIRE sAFETY POLICIEsAccidental Fire Alarms: Any campus resident who

activates the building fire alarm, accidently or without

a true emergency, is responsible for any related costs

from the Fire Department response. The standard

charge for such an event is $300 (subject to change).

This includes, but is not limited to, errors in cooking,

smoking, vandalism, pranks and policy violations.

Any additional costs beyond this and any applicable

policy violation charges will also be assessed to the

responsible resident(s). Neither students nor staff can

interrupt Fire Department units once they have been

dispatched to the campus community. If an alarm is

activated, the DHRL duty station or UCF Police should

be contacted to help residents better respond to

protecting themselves and others in the community.

Appliances: Each apartment has a full kitchen with

a full-sized refrigerator, freezer and oven range.

If a resident plans to operate any of the above

permitted appliances in his or her room, the

appliance must be in good working order and it

must be plugged into a power strip with a built-in

circuit breaker.

All garbage resulting from the preparation of food

in the apartment must be placed in a garbage bag

and taken directly to the area dumpsters to avoid

odor, attracting bugs or contributing to unsanitary

conditions. Apartment kitchens are not to be used for

things such as class projects, science experiments and

washing hair. Additionally, residents who use apartment

kitchens are required to clean up after themselves

before leaving.

Residence halls and Fraternity/sorority house Rooms: For safety and sanitation reasons, the following items

are prohibited: two sided, open faced, or indoor electric

grills (ex. “George Foreman Grill”); deep fryers; toaster

ovens; toasters; electric skillets; hot plates; and any

appliance with exposed heating coils. A $25 fine per

occurrence and a review of the resident’s housing

agreement may be considered if he or she is found

violating this policy. Residents are allowed to have a

microwave oven (must be 1,000 watts or less). Popcorn

poppers, hot pots, and coffeepots with an automatic

shut-off feature may also be used in residence hall,

fraternity house and sorority house rooms.

Refrigerators (with or without freezers) which do not

exceed five cubic feet total capacity are permitted.

Residents with larger appliances will be asked to

remove them and will be subject to a $25 fine

per occurrence.

If a resident plans to operate any of the above

permitted appliances in his or her room, the

appliance must be in good working order and it

must be plugged into a power strip with a built-in

circuit breaker.

Building Fire Alarms: If the alarm has sounded in

a DHRL facility, all residents and their guests must

immediately evacuate the building and proceed to

the evacuation location (at least 300 feet from the

building). If a fire is observed, activate the nearest

pull station, call 911, and continue to proceed to

the building’s evacuation location. Staff will respond

to the sounding alarm and will direct residents

accordingly. Always follow the direction of

university staff, the UCF Police Department

and the Fire Department.

Candles and Incense: Due to the potential fire hazard,

the use or possession of candles, incense or other

related items is strictly prohibited in all DHRL facilities.

This restriction includes unlit, unburned and

unused products.

RES I DENC E h All SAFE T Y

16

Cooking and safety: • Always turn on the vent above the stove

• Remember to use caution when cooking and never

leave food that is cooking unattended

• Remember the stove may heat differently than

other stoves, so residents should check their food

frequently

• Check the stove before turning it on to ensure it is

empty and has been properly cleaned

If your smoke detector sounds from cooking in ONLY your apartment, and there is no fire: • Call your Resident Assistant or community duty

station

• Identify who is calling, the location, and that a

smoke detector is sounding

• Turn on the vent or fan and open windows, if

possible, to clear any smoke

• DHRL, University Police or Facilities Operations

will respond to the scene

Circuit Breakers: If an electrical circuit is overloaded,

it will trip the circuit. This is a safety feature to

prevent electrical fires. If a circuit is tripped, electrical

appliances should be unplugged and relocated to

different outlets. The resident should then notify his or

her Resident Assistant.

Curtains and Draperies: Curtains and draperies

are prohibited in all DHRL facilities. Curtains being

used in hallways, closets or as partitions in rooms or

apartments are also prohibited. If a bedroom does not

have doors on the closet, the resident may put

up a curtain using a tension rod; however, the rod must

be 20 inches from the ceiling, in order to allow the

sprinkler full coverage in the event of a fire.

Failing to follow these policies may result in a sanction

or citation.

Electrical Cord Guidelines: Extension cords are

prohibited in university housing facilities. Only 120v,

UL approved, electrical power outlet strips (surge

protectors) with a built–in manual reset 15-amp circuit

breaker are permissible. The maximum allowable length

of the cord is six feet, with a maximum of six outlets

at the end of the cord. Only one outlet strip may be

used per wall outlet, and power strips may not be

plugged into one another (daisy-chaining). In addition,

non-circuited multi-socket cords, multi-plug adapters,

anything with a frayed or damaged cord, and air

fresheners or fans with an outlet are strictly prohibited,

as they can cause a fire. Be very cautious and ask

Resident Assistants any questions. These policies are

in accordance with the Florida State Fire Marshal and

state policy.

Emergency Evacuation Procedures: Residents and

their guests are required to participate in all alarmed or

announced evacuations, whether it is a drill, an active

fire, or other threat-related incident. Failure to evacuate

a building when an alarm has sounded, or as directed

by university staff, UCF Police Department or Fire

Department, is strictly prohibited. Failure to cooperate

in any evacuations may result in housing agreement

and student conduct violations.

Evacuate Immediately: All persons are required to

evacuate for every alarm, unless previously directed

by DHRL staff that it is only a test. Failure to evacuate

immediately may result in student conduct action and

termination of the resident’s housing agreement.

Evacuation Locations: Each individual building

will have its own evacuation location. All Resident

Assistants will cover this information in their first

residence hall meeting. Each evacuation location will be

at least 300 feet from the building.

Failure to Comply: All residents must comply with

all written and verbal requests and instructions from

university officials. Failure to do so is a violation of the

Rules of Conduct.

Fire Drills: DHRL and Environmental Health & Safety

conduct fire drills each semester. Residents will be

notified in advance of all fire drills.

Fire Extinguishers: All residents should know how to

use a fire extinguisher. If a resident does not know how

to use one and wants to learn, he or she should contact

a Resident Assistant. In addition to the extinguishers

provided, DHRL recommends that every resident

also have their own multi-purpose or multi-class

extinguisher in the event of an emergency.

Fire, health and safety Inspections: For the safety

of all community residents, room inspections are

completed throughout the year to conduct specific fire,

health and safety checks. Any violations found during

these checks will need to be corrected in a specified

time period (as directed by a Resident Assistant).

Failure to correct violations may result in housing

and student conduct sanctions and a review of the

resident’s housing agreement. Some violations are

subject to immediate contract review.

Fire safety, Alarms and Related Information: Fire

safety is a top priority in UCF residential facilities.

It is vital that all members of the community

understand and follow all rules and regulations.

Fire safety Equipment: Tampering with any part of

a fire protection system or equipment, including false

alarms from pull stations; obstructing or tampering

with doors, smoke detectors, stove top extinguishers,

sprinkler heads, evacuation signs, pipes, hydrants,

or exit signs; and illegal use of a fire extinguisher are

violations of the law and are punishable by a mandatory

$5,000 fine and/or six months jail time. The resident

will also be held responsible for Fire Department fines,

related clean up costs, and student conduct violations

for instances that occur as a result of accident or

intentional acts of endangerment. The resident may

also face immediate housing agreement termination.

17

hazardous Materials: Explosives, flammable or any

hazardous substances, or any item or thing of a

dangerous nature are strictly prohibited within

DHRL facilities.

Prohibited Items: Live cut trees (ex. Christmas tree)

are prohibited inside all DHRL facilities. In addition,

flammable or hazardous materials including, but not

limited to, bug bombs, gases, gasoline, solvents, lighter

fluid, propane, dive tanks and welding tanks are also

prohibited (full or empty). Also see appliances, candles

and incense, electrical cord guidelines, hazardous

materials, smoking, and weapons in this guide for

other prohibited items.

Re-entry to Building: Do not re-enter the building

until you are instructed to do so. This order will be

given by DHRL staff or by the university police.

Failure to adhere to this may result in student conduct

action and possible termination of the resident’s

housing agreement.

smoking: In compliance with the Florida Clean Air

Act of 1992, smoking is not permitted in any residence

hall, apartment room, hallway, lounge, laundry room,

community center, common house space, classroom,

or enclosed stairway of any building managed by

DHRL at UCF. Smoking outside is permitted, as long as

persons are at least 15 feet from any building.

smoke Detectors: All rooms are equipped with smoke

detectors. Some of these detectors are connected

to the main alarm system, and to the UCF Police

Department. If the units are tampered with in any way,

the police will respond to the alarm. Do not tamper

with or cover any fire safety device, as it puts everyone

in the community in danger. If a detector or alarm

beeps or sounds for an unknown reason, notify DHRL

staff immediately.

sprinklers: Many DHRL facilities are equipped with

sprinklers. Sprinklers are there to protect both residents

and their belongings, and are not to be tampered with

or used to hang items on. Tampering or damaging

these devices, regardless of intent, will result in

student conduct action and immediate housing

agreement termination.

staff and Emergency Personnel: Stand out of the way

of staff and other personnel as they work to manage

the incident.

Weapons: Possession or use of firearms, fireworks

(including sparklers and smoke bombs), explosives,

or dangerous or flammable chemicals of any kind

are strictly prohibited in any DHRL facility or in the

surrounding vicinity. This includes, but is not limited to,

firearms, ammunition, BB or pellet guns, air soft guns,

weapons for sport (including paint ball guns, bow and

arrows, diving knives, hunting weapons), stun guns,

swords, switchblades, knives, slingshots, martial arts

or medieval weapons, and flammables (liquids, solvents,

gases). In the case of weapons, the possession or use of

certain items may violate state or federal law and cause

violators to be subject to arrest. This includes “toys”

that look like actual weapons.

EMERGENCY FIRE PROCEDUREs AT PEGAsUs LANDING AND PEGAsUs POINTEFires can present a serious problem in apartment

communities. Though damage is usually confined to

property destruction, the loss of personal items or of

life is a possibility.

Pegasus Pointe and Pegasus Landing management

highly recommend residents obtaining renter’s

insurance to protect against such losses. Fires are often

started through carelessness with cooking, matches

and cigarettes. Many fires can be avoided by using

caution and common sense.

As an added precautionary measure, the apartments

have placed Fire Stop fire extinguishers above each

stovetop. These extinguishers are equipped with

magnetic fasteners and are made to attach to the hood

of a stove. These extinguishers should be placed in a

central location between the front and back burner on

either side, so that in the event of a fire, the contents

will fall evenly on both burners. Please be aware that

there is also a fire extinguisher located in the kitchen,

as well. To learn how to operate these devices, contact

a Resident Assistant.

18

Prevention: Prevention is the best insurance against

fire. Pegasus Landing and Pegasus Pointe recommends

that residents take these simple safety precautions in

apartments to prevent fires from starting:

1. Never leave cooking, appliances in use (such as irons

or hair strengtheners), or cigarettes unattended

2. Let cooking grease cool and then pour into a metal

can. Never pour hot grease into a plastic container

3. Never misuse lighters or matches

4. Avoid cooking while intoxicated, taking medication,

or tired

5. Test smoke detector(s) monthly to make sure they

are working

6. Do not store gas-operated tools or vehicles

(motorcycles) inside the apartment or in or on

stairwells, breezeways, patios or balconies

7. Never burn candles or use halogen lamps or

cheap extension cords

8. Never overload extension cords or outlets

9. Always use electrical items for their intended

purposes only

10. Keep curtains and other materials 12 inches from

any outlet

11. Always keep the apartment free of clutter

12. Always evacuate if the building alarm sounds

smoke Detectors: If a fire occurs, smoke detectors

alert residents immediately so they can exit the

building safely. If residents notice smoke detector(s)

are beeping, they should notify the management

office immediately, so that proper maintenance can be

performed. They should not disable the smoke detector.

Disabling or removing a smoke detector, including

removing working batteries, is a violation of the law. It

is the responsibility of the resident to replace batteries

in the smoke detector after they move into the

apartment. Residents at Pegasus Pointe should contact

407-384-6800, or visit the office immediately, if they

need assistance. Residents at Pegasus Landing should

contact 407-362-5036, or visit the office immediately, if

they need assistance.

Smoke detectors and fire extinguishers should be

checked on the first of each month. To ensure that the

fire extinguisher is in operable condition, check that the

expiration date has not arrived, the pin is securely in

place, and the gauge reads full. The date punched on

the yellow tag indicates the date of the extinguisher’s

last inspection, not the expiration date. All fire

extinguishers are due for inspection one year from the

date of the last inspection. If residents are concerned

about the status of fire safety equipment, they can

submit a maintenance work order with maintenance

and they will check the equipment.

If Fire strikes: In the event of a fire, contact the local

fire department by dialing 911, and pull a fire alarm

station to notify others to evacuate.

Do not rush out into the hallway. First, feel the door.

If it is hot, use another way out. If the door is cool, leave

by the nearest exit.

Smoke rises, so the cleanest air is near the floor. If the

planned escape route becomes smoky, crawl out of the

building on hands and knees.

If escaping the apartment is not possible, stuff wet

towels, sheets and clothes around the door and vents

to keep smoke out. Call 911 and give them the location.

If no smoke is coming into the room, open a window

slightly. Stay low, yell and wave a bright cloth, towel or

sheet out a window to signal the location of the fire. By

accepting the responsibility to keep apartments safe

from fire, residents are not only protecting themselves,

but their neighbors, as well. With only minimal planning

and awareness, residents can make the difference

between safety and disaster for everyone.

smoking: Smoking is permitted inside apartments,

with permission of all tenants. In the event that there

becomes a conflict between tenants about smoking

within the apartment, the unit will default to a smoke-

free environment.

Weapons, Fireworks and Other Dangerous Items: Possession or use of firearms, fireworks (including

sparklers and smoke bombs), explosives, or dangerous

or flammable chemicals of any kind are strictly

prohibited in any facility or in the surrounding

vicinity. This includes, but is not limited to, firearms,

ammunition, BB or pellet guns, air soft guns, weapons

for sport (including paint ball guns, bow and arrows,

diving knives, hunting weapons), stun guns, swords,

switchblades, knives, slingshots, martial arts or

medieval weapons, and flammables (liquids, solvents,

gases). In the case of weapons, the possession or use of

certain items may violate state or federal law and cause

violators to be subject to arrest. This includes “toys”

that look like actual weapons.

1. Always roll your windows up and lock

your car.

2. Don’t leave valuables in plain view. Items

left in the open attract thieves. Store

them in your trunk if necessary.

3. Engrave expensive accessories, such as

car stereos and speaker systems, with

your drivers’ license number. This aids

the police in tracing the stolen items.

4. Never leave your vehicle running and

unattended.

5. Install an antitheft device that is highly

visible, hard to defeat and renders

the car inoperable.

6. Drop a business card or address label

in the map pockets of your doors.

7. Don’t hide a spare key.

8. Don’t leave important papers such

as bank statements, credit card

statements, and other important

documents in your car.

9. Photocopy your registration and

insurance information and keep it in a

safe place other than your vehicle.

10. Most importantly, be crime-wise.

Think of what you can do to protect

your belongings ahead of time before

you become a victim. Don’t become

complacent.
