She discovered it Saturday morning. Instead of enjoying a relaxing weekend, she had to file reports with security and worry about getting her window replaced. \u201cI don\u2019t leave anything in there that has any real value,\u201d Copple said of her car. She didn\u2019t understand why someone targeted her car.<\/p>\n<p>Brett Lyon, assistant director of security, sent out a campus-wide e-mail, warning students to keep cars locked and not leave any valuable possessions behind when heading into the dorms. He said in a comment that a special committee has been formed in order to prevent the thefts. They will be meeting next week.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think security cameras in the big parking lots would be a great idea. I think it would cut down on the number of incidents,\u201d Copple said. She refuses to park in the pool lot again and constantly checks her car. \u201cI constantly see skaters and teens hanging out there,\u201d she said. \u201cThey look sketchy.\u201d In addition to parking further away from her dorm, she feels obligated to constantly check her car for break-ins.<\/p>\n<p>While e-mails may hold all the good advice in the world, the cost to Morningside students \u2013 even students that do all the right things to prevent theft &#8212; can be great.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI am paying enough in tuition costs to come to Morningside.
