PETTY LARCENY (COPPER ELECTRICAL WIRE) (11/4/10)
At 3 p.m., a reporting officer was dispatched to Owens Hall to meet with a complainant about the theft of some copper wire.
Upon arrival, the officer met with the complainant who said that at 3 p.m., he and the
Leitner Construction supervisor were doing a walk-through of Owens when they both noticed a 65-foot-long spool of copper wire laying on the floor of room 110.
The wire was being used to power elements of Owens, and both parties agreed that the wire, which belonged to Winthrop, would be secured in the room for the night and employees would retrieve it later.
On Nov. 8 at 3 p.m., the complainant and members of his staff went to retrieve the wire but found it missing from room 110.
The complainant spoke with the Leitner Construction supervisor about the situation,
and both agreed to search all of Owens’ construction area.
They did not find the wire.
The complainant and supervisor spoke to all individuals who were present during the time the wire was last seen and the Owens’ reconstruction team.
No one admitted to taking the wire nor could anyone remember, with any certainty, when the last time the wire was seen.
MISCHIEVOUS BEHAVIOR (11/5/10)
At 8:27 a.m., a reporting officer met with Lee Miller, administrative specialist in Sims, as well as two custodial workers in reference to an unknown person using chalk to write on the walls and a chair in Sims, according to an informational report from police.
The person drew faces using the chalk.
While walking around the building, the reporting officer noted someone had also drawn Pac-Man and another character using a dry-erase marker on the window leading to one of the suites.
The chalk and dry-erase drawings were easily removed, but Miller wanted to report them because they had be going on for about a week.
