I can’t imagine leaving my laptop or phone unattended in a lecture hall. Seems a bummer to close the campus to the public because students can’t keep an eye on their property.
Don't make it harder for people to steal, just blame the victim for not watching his or her stuff more closely? Sounds a lot like victim blaming to me.
Yeah. If you leave your phone or laptop in some place unattended where you know someone might steal it, and it gets stolen, you certainly aren’t to blame for the theft itself, but closing down a campus for irresponsible behavior is not the right “fix”.
