As for the safety, the cars aren't safe because the campus is very open. It's open to the whole public. I think the security should keep their eyes open. Everyone is worried about their car, no matter what kind it is; it's still your car. I have an alarm on my car, and until now nothing ever happened. I don't think an alarm is really necessary, because if somebody wants to steal your car they always find a way.

I think my car is safe because I have an alarm on it. I think the security should do more rounds on campus. I'm not worried about it. I think if somebody's looking around to steal a car, they wouldn't pick mine because of the alarm. I believe that more students should be aware of it. They think their cars are safe out there because of the security but obviously they're not doing their job. I think stolen cars are more important than giving out tickets.

Vehicle theft happens everywhere. I think the police should drive around more. I'm not really worried about it. I don't really think that something could happen to my car. I don't drive a new car. If I drove a newer car I probably would worry more. I don't have theft protection. I always park close to the buildings where I attend classes. I think now that I know that cars have been stolen, I'm going to check on my car more often.
