Laptops and other electronic devices听are听a very important part of our lives, whether you are a 欧美口爆视频 Boulder student, faculty听or staff member. Our phones, tablets听and other devices often contain personal information and data that is important to us, but, they also have great value to criminals.
Register your devices
Registering your device听can be an important step in preventing victimization. Registration stickers often act as a deterrent, making the item difficult to pawn or sell quickly. The information that is obtained during the registration process such as make, model, and serial number also make it easier for police to identify recovered items and return them to their proper owners.
The Office of Information Technology offers a device registration program that is quick, easy听and free. 听

Theft prevention safety tips
The 欧美口爆视频 Boulder Police Department听offers the following safety tips to prevent your devices from being stolen:
- Always keep your residence or office locked when empty. That includes when leaving for lunch or using the restroom.
- In common areas, such as dining facilities, libraries or the University Memorial Center, never leave laptops, mobile phones or other valuable items unattended.
- Record serial numbers of听desktop computers, laptops, mobile phones and other items that could be stolen. If these items are recovered, it is easier to return them to you.
- Many Apple devices and PC laptops that are running Windows 10 have a tracking service built in. But if you have an older laptop, we recommend installing a third-party tracking software.
