Earlier this month, a thief snuck into an unattended dorm room in George Jameson Hall and absconded with a student’s wallet. On the afternoon of Nov. 15, a thief purloined a tablet and a laptop from an unlocked room during a fire alarm evacuation. In all of these startling cases, students left their doors unlocked, and I believe that Cornell is in large part to blame. Currently, the University charges 104 dollars for a lock change to students who lose their keys. Every lodging company from Marriott to Motel 6 employs a keycard system to ensure a basic modicum of safety for their clientele.
