Campus Watch: Below is a summary of campus activity reported to or observed by The University Police Department Patrol Officers between Thursday, 05/22/14 and Friday, 05/23/14. JESTER ACADEMIC CENTER, 201 East 21st Street Criminal Trespass Warning: A non-UT subject was reported as sleeping on the 3rd floor. The subject was located and awakened. The subject claimed to be there with a friend who had graduated from UT the previous week. The friend must have struck out to change the world already as he was nowhere to be found. The subject was issued a written criminal trespass warning. Occurred on 05/22/14 at 7:52 am. SAN ANTONIO PARKING GARAGE, 2420 San Antonio Street Burglary of Vehicle / Criminal Trespass: A UT Staff member reported seeing a non-UT subject walking around parked cars and attempting to open the doors. At one point the staff member saw the subject inside a parked car looking through the contents of the car’s glove compartment box. The subject was located and found to have previously been issued a written criminal trespass warning. The owner of the vehicle the subject entered was contacted and reported a few dollars in change had been stolen from the vehicle. Reported on 05/22/14 at 12:34 PM. Crime Prevention Tip: Like most theft cases, this offense was a crime of opportunity. The burglar was not looking for a specific vehicle to break into or a specific item to steal. The suspect simply played the odds looking for an unsecured vehicle. Once he found one, he simply spent a little time looking for whatever he could steal…in this case, a few dollars in change. To help protect your vehicle, always keep your doors locked and your windows rolled up. Never leave anything inside your vehicle. It costs a thief nothing to enter an unsecured vehicle or even break into a secured one. Anything that person steals is all profit to him or her. The University of Texas Police Department responded to 20 Alarm Reports, 3 “Police Help” Callbox Activations, 5 Traffic Violations, 5 Suspicious Activity Reports, 2 Medical emergency Reports and 9 Public Assist Reports between 05/22/14 and 05/23/14.
