A Good Samaritan called STOP's 24/7 Recovery Hotline to report that she found a laptop on the street near a university hospital in Chicago, IL. The Good Sam provided the STOP ID Number, which enabled STOP to quickly identify the registered owner. STOP notified the owner, who notified STOP that this device had been stolen, and then obviously abandoned. Laptop has been recovered.

CSUN Police Department (PD) is selling Security Tracking of Office Property (S.T.O.P.), a theft deterrent plate for electronic devices, for the first time ever in the Matador Bookstore.
Since S.T.O.P.’s inception in 2006, the plates were only available for purchase at PD headquarters and at the campus police substation on Zelzah Avenue adjacent to campus.
“We want to be sure to have something in place that can help students, faculty and staff with protecting electronic equipment,” said CSUN Police Chief Anne Glavin. “Most students pay good money for this equipment. It’s not something that you want to go out and buy again.”
