ALWAYS lock your doors and windows.
Please don’t prop doors open and report tailgaters.
When entering or exiting a residence, make sure the door closes tightly behind you.
If your residence has an alarm system, make sure it is utilized properly and kept in good working order.
If you are living in an MIT FSILG or other MIT housing this summer, make sure any non-MIT residents know to call 617-253-1212 in an emergency or to report criminal activity.
Document serial numbers of all electronics and take pictures of all valuables. Keep this in a safe place to provide to the police in the event you are burglarized.
Be watchful: See Something = Say Something.
