***Prevention is as easy as 1,2,3!***

**![](https://employees.senecapolytechnic.ca/attachment?file=AQo%2BqhS%2FdYcMjq0Ubu92Wg%3D%3D)**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://employees.senecapolytechnic.ca/attachment?file=oVF3XKimb3sjQxDOZL3X6Q%3D%3D)**Consider using some of these prevention strategies to keep yourself safe on campus:

- Secure and lock your items while using  any locker on campus
- Never leave your valuables unattended and keep them out of sight
- Check that your locker is shut and locked before walking away
- Ensure that you are using a sturdy and reliable lock
- Keep your locker combination confidential
- Not leaving valuables in your locker overnight or on weekends
- Report all incidents and suspicious activity to Security or the police

- If you suspect you have been a victim of theft, remain calm and try to retrace your steps first. You may ask around if anyone witnessed someone moving your items. Your friends might be helping you!
- Photograph any evidence of damage to or near your locker and provide these photos to security
- You can also check the **Lost & Found** at any security office on campus or file a report with security.
- You can report your issue online to your local police non-emergency public reporting website.
