    Tips: How to keep your belongings safe

    • Don’t leave items on show anywhere. Not on an exposed windowsill, not in a shared kitchen, not in a room you think is secure, not in a car. If it’s visible to others, it’s a temptation for thieves.
    • Don’t plug your devices into a common area round the campus to charge and walk away to have a coffee/go to class.
    • Do not give your Student Card to anyone ever.
    • Back up your files. What would you do if your hard drive crashes on your computer or laptop, What about your digital photos and music files? Make backups of your electronic files so you don’t have to start from scratch again.
    • Lock doors, even if you’re only going away for a few moments. If you’re leaving the area, keep it secure!
    • Password protect computers, laptops, USB sticks, etc. Yes, even USB sticks. If you don’t secure them with password details, they could fall into the wrong hands and your personal data, passwords, and important documents could be compromised.
    • Check the safety of properties you may rent. If you can see a number of easy access points, would you really want to keep your personal and expensive belongings in an unsecure area?
