Thinking the knocking was her roommate, she did not get up.

Loss value: $20.00. Reported on 11/15/14 at 10:19 AM. Crime Prevention Tip: This type of theft is very disturbing. The resident is fortunate the person who entered her unsecured dormitory room was only there to commit a property crime. Students feel all too safe in their dormitory rooms which leads them to leaving their dormitory room doors unlocked while they are in their rooms. Do not do this. The single biggest contributing factor to home invasions and burglaries is an unsecured door or window. By simply locking the dorm room door, this theft would have been prevented.
