Police Brief 04/14/08
Coat, IDs among items stolen from Landon Hall
A black fleece coat, various forms of identification and other personal items valued at $255 were reported stolen from a basement hallway in Landon Hall sometime between 9 and 10 p.m. Tuesday, MSU police Sgt. Florene McGlothian-Taylor said. A 19-year-old female student employee reported the theft after returning from her workplace in the Landon Hall cafeteria to find the items missing, McGlothian-Taylor said. The hallway, which is where cafeteria employees are expected to store personal belongings during work, is never locked and can be accessed by anyone, McGlothian-Taylor said.

I feel a little bad for them because this is something (it sounds like) most workers do and this girl just happened to get taken.

MSU should provide a secure place for employees to store items while working. Lockers should be made accessible.

This makes no sense. When I worked in the Brody cafeteria 10 years ago we had lockers to put our stuff in while we worked. You’re telling me 10 years later there are still campus buildings that make students leave personal items out where anyone can get at them? I’m sure this isn’t the first time this has happenned to somebody while working. Shame on Landon Hall and the MSU staff.

Maybe one shouldn’t carry $255 worth of personal items to work and leave them in an unsecured area. I’d suggest leaving it in your dorm room, but you’d probably leave the door unlocked (see Police Briefs from days past for reference)
To Landon Hall management: either put up some lockers (that are lock-able) or install video cameras to catch the perps.

Mr. Obvious –
To be fair, not all worker’s live in the building they work. She could have had those items because she bussed in from Capestone or Chnadler’s.
