I would really be checking into something else to use for a closet that can be locked up, I also like the trunk idea. You can find closets that you put together at Wal Mart, Meijer, Target, just about anywhere. They she could just slip a bicycle padlock through the handles. I can't believe their closets don't have doors. I do think she should at least mention her "suspicions" to the person in charge of the dorm and ask what they think she could do to protect her belongings.
