Theft

Coker University is not responsible for lost or stolen items.  It is the resident student's responsibility to lock her/his room door.  Should personal or University property be believed to have been taken from a student's room, he/she should report the incident to a Residence Life staff member and/or Campus Safety immediately.

 

Should stolen goods be found in a room, the occupants of that room can be assumed to have known the goods were in the room (and assuming they took no action to return the goods), the occupants of the room will be held liable for possession of stolen goods.  If a student believes that allegedly stolen property can be found in a specific room, the individual should arrange to have a Campus Safety staff member or other University official present when he/she goes to the room to identify the stolen article.  One of the residents of the room should be present when the article is recovered by University personnel.  Theft of property will result in disciplinary and/or legal action.
