21、 back or accuse a person of stealing your book is to see if you mark your text book.

23、the first words of your name. This way, if the book is stolen, both the police and the bookstores will have a better chance of tracing the book once it is sold back. If caught with a marked item, the thief can be convicted. The marked items can also be returned to the rightful owner. 8However, for t

24、he sake of safety, do not use your social security number, student ID number, or birth date to mark your textbook! In addition, never leave your possessions unattended in public places. Remember, the majority of thefts on campus are thefts of opportunity. Most items are stolen because they are left

25、unattended. 9Make a list of your textbooks and include the name of the book, type of book, the author, and any identifying marks to help Campus Safety Office in the recovery of the lost or stolen book(s). 10If once you became a victim, do report the textbook theft immediately to Campus Safety Office
