UC SAN DIEGO POLICE DEPARTMENT April 14, 2025 ALL ACADEMICS, STAFF, AND STUDENTS AT UC SAN DIEGO Timely Warning – Motor Vehicle Theft The UC San Diego Police Department has received a report of a motor vehicle theft of a Ford F-250 flatbed truck with South Dakota license plates. The theft occurred on April 12, 2025, at approximately 5:00PM, at 4245 First Ave, from the UCSD Hillcrest Hospital Employee Parking Garage. During the course of the theft, the suspect crashed the stolen vehicle into a nearby construction fence before fleeing the area in the stolen vehicle. The suspect is described as a light-skinned, female adult, approximately 5 feet 2 inches tall, thin build, brown or blonde hair, wearing a black T-shirt, black pants and yellow socks. At this time, the suspect is not in custody. The report is currently under investigation by the San Diego Police Department. If you have information that could be helpful in this investigation, please call the San Diego Police Department at (619) 531-2000 or submit an online tip at https://police.ucsd.edu/services/anonymous.html. The remainder of this message provides general information about preventing and reporting a motor vehicle theft and is not necessarily related to this incident. If you are the victim of a motor vehicle theft: Call or text the UC San Diego Police Department immediately at 9-1-1 and be prepared to provide the following: License plate number and vehicle year, make, model, and color; Date, time, and location you last saw your vehicle; Date and time you discovered your vehicle missing; and Advise if you subscribe to a vehicle tracking service, such as Lojack or OnStar. General safety considerations to prevent a motor vehicle theft: Always lock your vehicle, close all windows and sunroof, and take your keys. Never leave your vehicle running when unattended. Park in busy, well-lit areas. Pick a parking spot where there is a lot of activity. Auto thieves prefer breaking into cars in isolated areas. Alarms or anti-theft devices work. Thieves are usually looking for the easiest target. If your car has an alarm or other anti-theft device, it could act as a deterrent but don’t make the common mistake of assuming that because you have an alarm or anti-theft device, thieves won’t break in. Install a vehicle tracking and location system that can be activated after the vehicle is reported as stolen. Don’t leave spare keys in or on your vehicle. An experienced thief knows all the hiding places. Store spare keys elsewhere, such as your wallet or purse. Report suspicious activity immediately to the UC San Diego Police Department by calling or texting 9-1-1. What is this Notice? This notice is being provided to you to comply with the Jeanne Clery Disclosure of Campus Security Policy and Campus Crime Statistics Act. Timely Warnings are intended to prevent similar crimes and to provide information that will assist community members in protecting themselves.

Impactpresent25/25
Final assessment
All 25 reads agree crashing the stolen truck into a construction fence states property harm.
What the hazard could do to the people in its path. Beyond naming the threat, a complete warning conveys its potential consequences or severity, such as that a tornado can level buildings or that a leak could be explosive, so recipients grasp how much danger they are in. Research on warning message content finds that a concrete impact statement helps people personalize their risk and act sooner.
