Campus safety notice for increase in e-bike and e-scooter thefts

To check this alert, Claude (an AI) read it in full 25 separate times, independently. Each read decided whether the message answers each of the six questions and gave a short reason. A final reviewer then weighed all 25 and wrote the plain-English verdict you see when you open a row. The score (for example 22/25) is how many reads agreed; the 25 individual reads are tucked underneath if you want to check them.

  Final assessment

  All 25 agree (1): FSUPD issued a "Campus Safety Notice: Motor Vehicle Thefts (E-Bikes & E-Scooters)" about rising campus thefts.

  Who is sending the alert and who is responding. People act faster on a message from a clearly identifiable, credible sender, such as a named department, the police, or a branded alert system, than on an anonymous notice. A branded signature counts.

  Final assessment

  All 25 agree (1): There has been "an increase in thefts of e-bikes and e-scooters across campus," often of units locked with a "cable or combination lock."

  What the threat actually is. A complete warning names the specific danger, such as a shooter, a fire, a tornado, or a gas leak, rather than a vague emergency, because people decide what to do based on what they are facing.

• Locationpresent25/25

  Final assessment

  All 25 agree (1): Thefts occurred "across campus" at Florida State University, with no single building named.

  Where the threat is. Saying whether danger is in a specific building, a part of campus, or area-wide lets people judge their own proximity and choose a safe direction. Without a where, a warning is hard to act on precisely.

  Final assessment

  All 25 agree (1): "Remain vigilant and report any suspicious activity," contact "FSUPD at (850) 644-1234," and use a "metal U-bolt style lock" rather than weak cable locks.

  The protective action to take. A clear, specific instruction, such as shelter in place, evacuate, avoid the area, or run-hide-fight, drives faster and more correct protective behavior than describing the threat alone.

• Impactpresent21/25

  Final assessment

  Majority 21/25 codes 1: "One individual was arrested," "two other individuals have been identified," and devices are "easy to steal" because "traditional cable locks can be cut."

  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.

  See all 25 individual reads

  1. present: "One individual was arrested," "two other individuals have been identified," and devices are "easy to steal" because "traditional cable locks can be cut."
  2. present: Since one person was arrested, two others were identified, and cable or combination locks were commonly defeated.
  3. present: Impact beyond the theft label includes one arrest, two other identified persons, and weak cable or combination lock failures.

  11. absent: Arrest and lock vulnerability notes explain method and enforcement, not community severity beyond the theft hazard.
  12. present: One person was arrested and two others identified, and lightweight devices remain easy targets when secured only with cuttable locks.

  19. present: Impact is one arrest, two other people identified, and notes that cable locks can be cut and scooters lifted, beyond naming the thefts.
  20. present: One arrest, two other identified suspects, and weak cable locks cut easily show impact beyond naming theft whereas without those extras only the hazard title would remain.

  22. absent: Stolen devices are the offense itself and no additional severity language is provided.
