Theft and Damage Policy

Definitions:

Theft: to obtain or exert control over property or services of another without the owner’s consent.

Attempted Theft: any attempt to commit a theft.

Possession of Stolen Property: being in possession of any property obtained illegally.

Because theft is also a violation of the law, a student or organization will be subject to action by the authorities when appropriate. All thefts should be reported to the Marietta College Police Department. Most insurance companies require that a report of this type be completed before they will honor an insurance claim.
