After long hours in the Library and three-hour lectures, tired and confused students wander around campus in search of misplaced bicycles, only to discover them stolen. Throughout the month of February, students have reported stolen and damaged bicycles around campus. From seeking peers’ advice on both the Class of 2018 and 2019 Facebook groups to reporting the incidents to Campus Police, students are unhappy about the College’s most recent thief. Unfortunately, theft is not a new issue for students at the College. More than 20 years ago, students’ property was reported stolen and damaged while on campus. In 1994, students sought out Campus Police after their parked cars, stereos and computers suddenly went missing.
