Wow the UH Police Department.... These great people have help me recover my$200 bike when it was stolen. They helped me recover my my lost car keys in the library by checking the cameras for me. They also came to my rescue when I had a project due and I had left my art tool box in my class room. The officer had tried about 15 keys before we got the right one. thank you UH Police Department!!
