Loss value: $2,100.00. Occurred on 09/23/14 between 4:35 PM and 4:45 PM. Crime Prevention Tip: This theft happened in a 10 minute window. Often times we believe our property will be safe if we will be away from it for only a few minutes. Have you ever thought just how long it takes for a thief to commit a theft? In this case, the thief saw an open office, walked in, picked up a bag and walked out. That is just a few seconds. A ten minute window of opportunity is an eternity of time when the crime only takes three or four seconds. Never leave your apartment, office, dorm room or home unsecured. WEST PICKLE RESEARCH, 4000 West Braker Criminal Trespass Warning: A non-UT subject was found sleeping in a tent located in the wooded area on the west side of the property. The subject was awakened and issued a written criminal trespass warning before he broke camp and was escorted form the area. Occurred on 09/23/14 at 9:40 AM. The University of Texas Police Department responded to 18 Alarm Reports, 2 Fire Alarm Reports, 10 Suspicious Activity Reports, 7 Traffic Violations, 1 Welfare Concern Report and 5 Public Assist Reports between 09/23/14 and 09/24/14.
