The thefts bring to light an important, albeit sometimes overstated
point – personal responsibility for belongings. The lockers in question lacked pad locks in order to prevent such a theft from occurring.
Despite the closeness of the employees, this theft still happened and serves as a reminder to all of us to protect our belongings using basic common sense.
Remember, always lock up when you leave your room, car, locker, etc. If you were a student here last year, you probably heard about the series of thefts in the Aaron Jones dorms. Many of the items were stolen in those incidences because dorm rooms were left unlocked by trusting residents whose faith was taken advantage of.
