Personal Belongings Safety | Security and Emergency Management Services | Seneca Students

Although the campus is a safe place, it is important to know that it is open to the public during regular operating hours.

Take extra steps to safeguard your personal items because thefts are usually a crime of opportunity.

This means you have control over whether this happens to you by following the tips below.

You can prevent your items from being stolen by:

• Keeping your personal belongings in your line of sight.
• Not leaving your personal belongings unattended, not even for a brief period.
• Digitally or physically tagging your items to make your items unique. It also makes it easier to identify when found!

• 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!
• 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.
