More Labtop thefts

A CSULB student and faculty member experienced thefts within four days of each other. 

On April 14, a female student reported a theft of her lab top to the University Police at 4:57 pm.  The reporting party told authorities that theft happened between the hours of 3:15 pm to 3:50 pm.  The female student forgot her dark grey Acer (lab top) in room 28 of the University Theatre building.  When she realized she had forgotten her property, which was about 35 minutes later, she rushed back to the room but the lab top was nowhere to be found.

"You would think that a University would be the last place you have to worry about your stuff being stolen,  I guess not" said freshman Lawrence White.  The reporting victim did not see anything suspicious and the case has been forwarded to investigators.



On April 18, there was another lab top stolen, this time the victim was a CSLUB faculty member.  The Police responded to a call of  theft at 4:45 pm.  The reporting party told officers that he had left his Mac book Pro, valued at $1,500, in his office which was  room 108 of the Fine Arts building.  He was gone for ten minutes to use the bathroom and when he returned he found that his property was missing.


A thief is surely enjoying the perks of their new lab top.  Photo taken by Cesar Mondragon

Captain Fernando Solorzano has advice for  people who own lab tops in CSLUB.  "Do not leave computers unattended, always secure your property if you're going to leave the area."
