Safety note: Secure purses, wallets and valuables

The UTSA Police Department reports the recent theft of wallets in two offices in the Multidisciplinary Studies Building on the Main Campus. As a precaution, remember to store purses, wallets and valuables in secure, locked locations. In busy times such as orientation sessions or information fairs, staff members may have their attention diverted, leaving them open to theft if personal belongings are in plain view. Securing items can help avert headaches such as stolen credit cards.
