<p>Most crimes, seem to be bike theft even if they are bolted and locked. Bikes have been stolen from racks in front of the Library, as well as dorms and even inside the dorm storage rooms. The Case police doesn’t seem to be able to control this situation. Call the Case police and ask them what they are doing about it. The more people call, the more they know they are accountable to do something about it. Here’s Case police # 216 368 3333. Make sure your kids have this # in their cell phones. Here’s University Circle Police # 216 368 2222, Here’s safe ride: 216 368 3000.</p>
<p>Also, North of 116th Street, the area turns really bad, as well as the area behind the baseball field, near the North Residential Village. There is one of those elevated police patrol towers near the NRV. I use this site to keep abreast of the crime [Case</a> Western Reserve University - Police & Security Services - Crime Log](<a href=“Public Safety | Case Western Reserve University”>Public Safety | Case Western Reserve University). Click on Crime log and then the month, and you will see al the crimes reported. I would also advise not to leave your laptop or cell phone unattended, even in common rooms. One kid had his laptop stolen in the common room of a dorm, while he napped right next to it. Also, tell your kids to not buzz kids in that look like they don’t belong. They’ll soon recognize who belongs and who doesn’t. Report any suspicious wanderers in dorms. I’ve seen kids, around the ages of 14-18 biking around campus who are looking for opportunities to rip you off. I’ve also seen kids leaving their cellphones in the dining hall on the tables to reserve their seats. Not too smart. </p>
<p>Also, tell your kids not to talk on the cellphone while walking, especially at night. Cellphone robbery is big. And, keep those headphones off while walking alone, especially at night. You are oblivious to everything around you w. those headphones, blasting away. And lastly, if someone comes up to you and says, give me your cellphone or wallet or whatever, tell your kids to give it up. it’s not worth the potential dire consequences.</p>
