4. Write down the model, description, and serial numbers of all items and keep that information in a separate place from your items.

5. Do not tell or show anyone what valuable items you have, even your friends.

6. If items are in your backpack, keep the back pack with you at all times or lock it in your locker.

7. Purchase a backpack that can be locked and keep it locked.

8. If an item is missing immediately check the area where it was last seen to see if it got misplaced or left behind. 9. If an item is lost or stolen, immediately write down exactly when and where you last saw the item, and any other circustances related to its disappearance, and when you discovered the item missing.  Report this information as soon as possible.

10. Check the lost and found in the Attendance Office. Many items are brought there. Check back frequently over several days as it may take time before someone finds it and brings it in.
