Theft from Auto-Unit Blk. Art Museum Drive near Johns Hopkins University

Below is a report from the August 22 JHU Security Daily Incident Report. Please forward on to interested persons.

 

Theft from Auto – Unit Blk. Art Museum Drive – On Aug. 19th between 3:05 PM and 7:00 PM, a GPS device and an overnight bag containing clothing were taken from a non-affiliate’s parked vehicle. Entry had been gained by breaking a side window. Baltimore Police responded. Investigation continuing.

 

Crime Prevention Tip of the Day - Safety concerns when moving into an off-campus house – Find the location of the main water cut-off valve and show your housemates. If window grates have padlocks securing them, ensure the keys are available and actually unlock the padlocks. Utilize deadbolt locks and make sure the locks have been changed– you can’t be sure if all previous residents have returned their keys. Check the batteries in the smoke detectors.
