Suggestions
While victims of crime are never to blame for criminal activity, there are some precautions that can be taken. In order to protect yourself and your belongings from theft and/or facilitate the recovery of your stolen property, MIT Police encourage you to follow these tips:

• See Something – Say Something: Immediately notify the MIT Police at 617-253-1212 or 100 from any campus phone if you believe a crime is occurring, has occurred, or is about to occur.
• Thieves look for targets of opportunity.  Always remove your keys, roll up your windows, and lock your vehicle.
• Never leave your motor vehicle unattended while it's running.
• Secure valuables out of sight.
• Park in well-lit areas with plenty of pedestrian traffic.
• Report all suspicious persons, vehicles, and activities to the MIT Police immediately.
