Stolen or lost parking decals are being reported to the police across the district, according to the department of public safety's blotter.
The new adhesive decals, which replace the old parking tags, peel off easily according to many students, Cpl. Leonardo Nieves, campus coordinator for the department of public safety, said.
"We have had a few here at SAC," Nieves said. "About eight to 10 in just under two weeks."
Nieves said if a student loses the decal, then that student needs to come to the department of public safety's office at 1601 N. Main Ave. to file a report with the department's clerk.
The clerk will fill out a certificate for a replacement decal, and the student can pick the new one from the business office, Nieves said.
Nieves said there is no limit to how many decals a student can get for every one stolen.
"For those who think that they can do it as many times as they can and get away with it, though, we will monitor these tags, and if we detect a pattern, then we will investigate," Nieves said.
A student purchasing an initial parking permit can be issued up to two decals with the listing of two license plates on the application, Nieves said.
For students who might think about pairing up for two decals for the price of one, Nieves said if the student whose name is not on the registration form receives a ticket, then that ticket automatically goes on the record of the one whose name is on the form.
"The student whose name is on the registration form will be held for his friend's violations because we go by parking decals and license plates numbers," Nieves said.
