<p>I was wondering if there are safes, or lockable drawers, in the dorms?</p>
<p>There aren't any in my D's dorm in DeNeve.</p>
<p>you can put a combo lock on some of the closets in sunset, but otherwise, i don't think so.</p>
<p>How safe is it to leave your laptop out? Are thefts common?</p>
<p>how shady are your roommates?</p>
<p>thefts are rare, i think. but theres no stats. it all depends on your roommates. make sure they close the door</p>
<p>^ No they're not, and there are stats (see UCPD's website and click on the "Clery Report" link)</p>
<p>As long as you use common sense - close your door when you're not there, etc, you'll be fine</p>
<p>There are lockable drawers in the new plazas (Rieber Vista, Rieber Terrace, and Hedrick Summit)</p>
<p>ooh sweet i get a locking drawer next year!
not that it'll matter much in a single :rolleyes:</p>
<p>anyway, i haven't had anything stolen. a lot of it depends on how smart you are: don't leave your door open when no one is in the room, don't leave valuables/money in plain sight, and if there's anything irreplaceable, take good care of it!</p>
<p>the only thefts i've heard of have happened over breaks. if you plan to go home, keep in mind that your room will be unoccupied and no one's watching over your things. i take my laptop home with me or lock it to my desk when i'm at school.</p>
<p>just be smart, lock your doors, don't become negligent.</p>
