Move Security Tips

Presented by Stanford University Department of Public Safety

• Do NOT leave your property unattended at any time. Store items in a secured location or arrange for a co-worker to watch over them until you return. It only takes seconds for a laptop to “walk” away. Report all unattended boxes.

• Keep your office door locked when unoccupied, even if you are in the process of moving items to a vehicle or another location.

• Seal and label every box with your name, department, and final destination in case it is lost, misplaced, or recovered.

• Any confidential or sensitive documents or files should never be left unattended until properly secured in the new location.

• If you observe anyone suspicious loitering inside or outside the building, or rummaging through boxes, immediately notify a supervisor or call 911
  (9-911 from a campus phone).

• If you move any items in your vehicle, store them in the trunk so as not to be visible in the passenger compartment.

• If you believe property has been stolen, immediately report it to the Stanford Department of Public Safety by calling 911 (or 9-911 from a campus phone).

• Report anyone who is observed handling boxes and claims to be a mover without the company shirt or lanyard
