In a Facebook post Wednesday, the DePauw University Police Department said they had the unfortunate "privilege" of hosting two individuals, who appeared to be looking for items in several unlocked cars across campus. 

"It is unknown if they located what they lost, but please be aware of this incident and, when on campus, keep your car doors locked," the post read. 

Captain Rick Keller, who is also the Assistant Chief of Police, told The Putnam County Post the department is asking students to not only keep their cars locked, but also do not leave valuables in their cars or in plain view in their cars. 

"For unknown reasons, we usually see this type of activity increase in the fall like this, but, right now, most of our students are gone on fall break so there were fewer cars on campus. I would not be surprised to see more of this type of activity in the next month or two depending on the weather," Keller said. 

This incident comes on the heels of a scam call that was circulating its way across campus, targeting international students and involved students from China. 

According to police, the call claimed that the person who answered had to send money or they would face arrest and the their visa would be revoked. 

If students see anything suspicious, they are asked to call the DePauw University Police at 765-658-5555 or 911.
