# Theft and locker safety prevention tips

Preventing theft from lockers is a priority for everyone. By reducing the opportunity for individuals to access your locker and the value of objects in it, you can help reduce the risk of locker theft.

![](https://students.senecacollege.ca/attachment?file=ItrATKLMir1WLaZT7PPNww%3D%3D)You can reduce the chances of having your personal items stolen by taking/keeping your belongings with you — even if you intend to step away briefly. Consider using some of these prevention strategies to keep yourself safe on campus:

- securing and locking your items while using the Athletics & Recreation facilities or any locker on campus
- never leave your valuables unattended and keep them out of sight
- checking that your locker is shut and locked before walking away
- ensuring that you are using a sturdy and reliable lock
- keeping your locker combination confidential
- not leaving valuables in your locker overnight or on weekends
- reporting all incidents and suspicious activity to Security Services or the police
