CAMPUS WATCH: Below is a summary of campus activity reported to or observed by the University Police Department patrol officers between Thursday, 06-07-07 and Monday, 06-11-07. ALMETRIS DUREN HALL, 2624 Whitis Ave Suspicious Activity: A UT staff member detected a strong odor of burning marijuana from a fourth floor dormitory room.

ALMETRIS DUREN HALL, 2624 Whitis Ave Theft: A MacBook G4 laptop computer was stolen from an unsecured third floor dormitory room. Loss value: $1,000.00. Occurred:6-08-07, at 10:30 PM and 6-09-07, at 1:15 AM. Crime Prevention Tip: An unsecured or unlocked door does not provide any security. Dormitories are only as secure as the residents allow them to be. Thieves are able to circumvent the card access doors by simply "tailgating" an authorized student into a restricted area. Once there, it is only a matter of time before that thief will find an unsecured and unoccupied dorm room. Take the time to lock your door and then double check to ensure that the door is secured.
