Campus Watch: Below is a summary of campus activity reported to or observed by The University Police Department Patrol Officers between Monday, 05/11/15 and Tuesday, 05/12/15. ****Mover Scams**** Friday of last week, I was contacted by a representative of the Texas Department of Motor Vehicles to send out a warning to our students as they prepare to move off for the Summer and our Graduates as they move away to “Change the World.” The warning involved the use of unlicensed movers to move your valuables. Unlicensed movers have been responsible for a variety of unsavory behaviors including holding your property for payment above the previously agreed upon price and outright property theft. I have attached a few pdf files to highlight the concern and provide you with some assistance if you decide to use a mover.
