With the world the way it is these days, no matter where you're at, you cannot take the risk of leaving your door unlocked. Thieves target those towns the most!

Last October, our then VP Recruitment had her car parked off campus because on campus parking was full. She has a Mustang Convertible, and to thieves it was easy access for them. They had cut the car's roof, stole our storage canisters for our Preference ceremony that night and before we knew it EVERYTHING down to the candles, the trellis, EVERYTHING was gone. They took the china, the silverware, and we felt so cheated and morale was at an all time low. I felt so bad for our VP Recruitment because her brand new videocamera (with all her and husband's memories) and even her piece o crap still camera and all her cds were stolen.

We encouraged her to go home and deal with the police paperwork because she was so emotionally drained by the time we had to have our Preference ceremony. That's where the sisterhood came in. All we had for the ceremony was the ceremony itself, which was in her officer binder. In one hour, Safeway was able to provide us as much as possible.

Still, no matter how safe and cautious you are, there are many sick people out there who'll stop at nothing to get a quick buck.
