Don't leave your stuff lying around.
This is the time of year that thieves have discovered a high rate of return in Kelvin Smith Library. The thefts are almost all crimes of opportunity--that is, people leave their belongings on chairs, tables, and other places, and then walk away and leave their things unattended. People go to the printer to pick something up; they go to chat with a friend on the other side of the library; they go to the restroom.
Although we want to make KSL a comfortable and safe environment, KSL staff know through sad previous experiences that it only takes a few seconds for thief to make off with a laptop or book bag.
So a word to the wise: keep your stuff with you at all times, even if you think "I'll only be gone for a minute." That's all it takes to lose your laptop.
