If not, it’s about time you start. A good way to begin this endeavor could be the Cyber Security Expo being hosted by The Information Security Office this Tuesday, October 21, 2014 from 10:00 AM until 2:00 PM in the SAC Ballroom. Check out the attached flyer for more information. ETTER-HARBIN ALUMNI CENTER, 2110 San Jacinto Theft: Two Apple MacBook laptop computers were stolen from different third floor offices. Loss value: $3,300.00. Occurred between 10/19/14 at 9:00 AM and 10/20/14 at 10:00 AM. GOLDSMITH HALL, 310 West 22nd Street Public Intoxication: UT Police Officers responded to a “Police Help” callbox activation where the caller requested the assistance of two specific officers. The officers did not locate anyone around the callbox but did find a non-UT subject who was passed out a few blocks south of the callbox. When awakened, the subject could not sit upright without assistance. Austin-Travis County EMS responded and transported the subject to a local hospital for the treatment of alcohol poisoning. As it turned out, that subject had previous interactions with the officers requested by the caller over the callbox. Occurred on 10/20/14 at 8:45 PM. JESSE H. JONES COMMUNICATIONS BUILDING, 2504-A Whitis Theft: A yellow KHS Crown road bike was stolen while it was secured with a u-lock to the bicycle racks located on the south side of the building.

UNION BUILDING, 2308 Whitis Theft: A grey colored Swiss Gear backpack containing a water bottle, a Microsoft Surface 10” tablet, a Texas Instruments TI-83 calculator, a Texas Instruments TI-89 calculator, a white i-Clicker and a Biology course lab manual was stolen from the floor beside a chair in the 3rd floor Loggia while the owner napped. Loss value: $280.00. Occurred on 10/20/14 between 10:30 AM and 11:30 AM. Crime Prevention Tip: Thieves love sleepy people. A subject sleeping in public spaces makes for an easy target for theft. If you find yourself getting tired while studying consider packing up your belongings and going for a short walk. The walk will help your circulation and increase your oxygen intake which will help to keep you awake. If that doesn’t work and you still feel the need to take a little nap, please attach your backpack to you by looping your foot through the shoulder strap or consider using your backpack and its contents as a pillow. The University of Texas Police Department responded to 27 Alarm Reports, 3 “Police Help” Callbox Activations, 1 non-Criminal Fire, 9 Suspicious Activity Reports, 10 Traffic Violations, 4 Medical Emergency Reports, 2 Unsecured Door Reports, 1 Accidental Damage Report and 4 Public Assist Reports between 10/20/14 and 10/21/14.
