Crime Briefs

Hooker Trash
A complainant’s vehicle parked in the O-Zone lot had a small j-hook, which is the end of a tow chain, in the driver’s-side tire. The U Police determined it wasn’t a criminal action, as the hook probably came from construction debris, said Capt. Lynn Mitchell of the U Police.

Gone Fishing
Thieves vandalized three parked cars Wednesday in the West Village apartment area.
Someone broke a car window and stole two bags from the West Village resident’s vehicle. Two other cars had their window broken or forced open, but all the property within the cars seems to be accounted for, according to U Police.
In what U Police refer to as “fishing expeditions,” car burglars usually hit a lot of cars at once in one night looking for whatever technology they can find inside without knowing beforehand that they’ll walk away with anything, a possible explanation for why cars without any valuables missing were vandalized.

A Real Racket
Three students reported to the U Police that someone had stolen wallets during racquetball class in the HPER East building on Monday.

Car theft and vandalism has been a problem in campus parking lots for decades now. I really think that a few well placed cameras would solve this whole thing. It just shows that the priorities of the campus parking guys is misplaced because they put so much emphasis on handing out tickets and collecting their fees, but not spending a fraction of that on improved security so people like us can park our cars safely.
