What if my Laptop is Stolen?

Each person reporting a theft or missing and presumed stolen laptop must file a police report within three business days in the jurisdiction in which the laptop is alleged to have been lost or stolen.

The police report must include the make, model number, and the manufacturer’s serial number.

It is the responsibility of the user/victim to provide a copy of the police report to LTU Business Services in the One-Stop Center.  LTU will not obtain copies of the police reports filed by users/victims.  LTU Business Services will forward copies of the filed police reports to the Help Desk and Campus Safety.

Each person reporting a stolen laptop must meet with the Director of Campus Safety and Security to discuss the details of the incident as reported to the police.  A new laptop may not be obtained until this meeting has taken place.

The $500 security deposit on account will be retained by the University when a laptop is stolen and all steps above are followed.  If no police report is filed, the full cost of the laptop, currently $3000.00, will be charged to the account.

To obtain another laptop, a $500 security deposit must be on account, and paid at the One-Stop Center.
