That's the name of this student written piece from the University of Colorado at Denver, but it could have been anywhere. It reflects the truth that no matter how feel-good the KSU experience is, there are thieves among us. And who hasn't felt the premonition of dread when racing off to the bathroom and leaving a laptop unattended?
Here is an excerpt:
Took my eye off of it for a second
Between 12:00 p.m. and 12:45 p.m., on Wednesday Feb. 14, a Metro student had his possessions stolen. On the first floor of the Library, near the circulation section, a student had his LG Chocolate Verizon phone and his TI-83 graphing calculator stolen. The total estimated value of his possessions is $450.It looks like there are thieves amongst us, waiting for the moment we're not paying attention to rob us blind. Be careful of what you are leaving in the open, if you have expensive gadgets or items, try not to leave them out in the open. Try to find carry bags or other means of storing your expensive or important things, so you can take them with you, and not have to set them down.
I thought the bookstore robbed us
On Feb. 14, between 3:00 p.m. and 6:00 p.m., a silver Motorola Razr phone was stolen from the Auraria Campus Bookstore. An employee of the bookstore reported his cell phone stolen. He had left it in an office, but the door was not locked and the public may have had access to office. Important things to remember: if you have an expensive, important device, please write down its important information, like serial number, make and model. As much as I feel like the bookstore robs me every semester, I know it's not the employee's fault and don't wish them ill will...or stolen cell phones.
New fashion on campus: Depends
On Feb. 12, a student was robbed in South Classroom 126. She reported a Jansport backpack, textbooks and a scandisk flashdrive stolen. The total estimated value of the items lost is $195. She left her things in the classroom while she went to use the restroom. Upon returning, her things were gone. I believe that what she did was a common occurrence on campus, I have seen many people leave their things inside the classroom before using the restroom. We all know, especially this time of year when it's cold outside, how difficult it is to use the restroom all bundled up and loaded with school gear. Looks like we need to institute the buddy system, no one goes to the restroom without their buddy watching their things.
