How do you make sure clothes aren't stolen?

<p>You're going to Purdue. Congratulations! That's an awesome school.</p>

<p>Purdue may be a public uni, but I can guess that most of the people going are probably in the same income range as you--middle/upper middle class. That's what I am too.</p>

<p>Now, regarding your clothes...I completely understand where you're coming from. I think 40 dollars for shorts is a ridiculous amount, but I understand that the clothing is IMPORTANT TO YOU.</p>

<p>(This from a girl who owns books and statuettes that are worth several hundred dollars. I will NOT be bringing ANY of them to college.)</p>

<p>If you're extremely concerned, my advice is to not bring them. However, if you'd like to be able to wear them, follow the advice of a lot of people and sew your name into the collar, and maybe use a footlocker for some of the really valuable stuff, like Ralph Lauren and such.</p>

<p>If I were bringing my first edition books, or my silver statue of Eros and Pyyrhe...they'd be locked in a locker, unless I wanted to take them out to read or look at. </p>

<p>My roommate is a clothes junkie...she's just a little more high-end. She's bringing Gucci, Prada, Coach, Lulu Guiness, and Kate Spade. She's also bringing a footlocker, and has asked me to lock the door when I leave the room.</p>

<p>I suggest a combination lock, or a specialized lock where the key is not generic, but has to be individually made.</p>

<p>When I was a janitor I would throw peoples clothing out. I would only do this if they made a mess on the floor. I had to clean everything up so if they were cool and didnt wipe **** on the bathroom walls, scatter beer cans over the floor, or do some other crap only to make my life harder I would treat them the same. If they flooded the toilet with the toilet paper we stocked for them we would not give them any. If they made a mess in the laundry room then all laundry in the room went down the garbage chute. </p>

<p>So treat the janitors nice!</p>

<p>you kind of reminded me of that movie with matthew brod. and reese w. .... when the janitor saw matthew throw leftover chinese food on the floor, and then later got him fired from his job because of he found some incriminating stuff matthew left in his trashcan.</p>

<p>beware the janitors!</p>

<p>Exactly. Dont be an ******* to the janitors just because Mommy and Daddy are not there. Act like the adult you are otherwise I will treat you like the kid you are.</p>

<p>uh, why would someone steal
""5 ralph lauren polos ($65 each), pair of abercrombie shorts ($40), hollister jeans ($50), shoes ($80)""" ???????/</p>

<p>hmm... i used to own these(and im sure many others) when i was in highschool...and i believe....that...none of myfriends stole it from me :)</p>

<p>maybe if it was $20000000000 chanel....$10000000000 miu miu...
maybe.......maybe......someone will......maybe..</p>
