A student’s $125 ring and $125 bracelet from Tiffany & Co. were stolen from her room in La Paz Residence Hall, 602 N. Highland Ave., sometime within the last two weeks, reports stated. The student said she noticed the ring was missing from her desk on Oct. 3 at 1. P.m, but thought she had misplaced it. On Sunday, she noticed the bracelet missing from the same place. The student said she believes the items were stolen and not misplaced, as she had previously assumed, because she could not find them in her room. The student said she does not suspect her roommate and doesn’t know who might have taken the items. The student and her roommate said they don’t always lock their door when they leave the room and their friends also frequent the room. Police told the student to keep her belongings in a more secure place in her room and to always lock the door, even if she or her roommate were only leaving the room for a moment.

A student’s $500 ecstatic guitar and $250 electric guitar were stolen sometime between Friday and Saturday from the student’s room in the Sigma Pi fraternity house. When police arrived the student told them he had last seen the guitars around 10 P.M. Friday and noticed they were missing around 2 a.m. Saturday. The student said the guitars had been leaning up against his wall in plain view of the window. The student said the window had been unlocked. It did not look like there had been any forced entry. It looked like someone had slid the window open and climbed inside. The student said he didn’t suspect anyone in particular and wasn’t sure if it was a fraternity prank.
Moral of the story: DON'T LEAVE YOUR VALUABLES IN PLAIN SIGHT AND NEVER LEAVE YOUR LAPTOP UNATTENDED!!!!!!! Locking your doors helps too!
