Crime Alert: Unattended Vehicle Stolen

On Monday, March 16th, 2009, a non-student reported his vehicle stolen near 8th St and 21st Ave between 2:25 and 2:30 pm. The driver left the keys in the ignition with the engine running and the doors unlocked while he made a deliver on campus. When he returned to the vehicle, approximately 5 minutes later, it was gone.

If you have any information regarding this crime, please contact the Minneapolis Police Department or Augsburg's Department of Public Safety. You can reach DPS all day, every day by dialing 1717 from an on-campus phone or 612-330-1717 from an off-campus phone.

You Can Help Prevent Crime at Augsburg!

- Never leave your keys in your car.

- Never leave your vehicle unattended with the engine running.

- Always lock your car.

- Always keep your car keys on your person. This is especially important if you have a remote unlocking device for your car. If a thief is able to take the remote unlocking device for your car, they simply need to walk through our parking lots and press the button until they see the lights flash on your vehicle.

- Don’t leave valuables visible in your vehicle. Where possible, move them to the trunk before you arrive at your destination. Better yet, leave valuables at home.

- Immediately report suspicious activity to the Minneapolis Police or Augsburg DPS.

Donate to Abused Women and Children

For thousands of women and children, home can be frightening, lonely and for many it is a very dangerous place. The Lewis House, located in Eagan, is dedicated to helping these women and children find safety and get them back on their feet. The Lewis House provides shelter, food, daycare and education about safe relationships for women and children who seek their services. To support these women and children, a few students from Augsburg College will be running a donation drive. We will be collecting items from now until the first week in April, at which time we will deliver all donated items to the Lewis House and help pass things out to the women and children.

Items the Lewis House needs are:
bath sized towels
wash cloths
twin size sheets/comforters
pillowcases
diapers
infant formula - all varieties
baby bottles/nipples
craft supplies (markers, crayons, construction paper, special kits)
school supplies (notebooks, folders, back packs)
educational toys, puzzles, videos and learning games
toothbrushes/toothpaste/floss
old cell phones with chargers
women and youth clothing (any age, gently used or new)

We will be setting up a table in Christensen to collect items and will be available to answer any questions a few times in the coming weeks. People can also drop off items at the Enrollment Center.

Please contact Ashle with questions at neunsing@augsburg.edu.
