What the fudge? Maybe this MSU employee should begin reading these police briefs? He/she doesn’t even know that now he/she is famous! Kris Allen is to American Idol as this MSU employee is to Police Briefs.

This theif is the same theif that we have read about before. What is the clue you ask? The sweatshirt and pants…here read for yourself…
“The employee told police he saw a man, about 5 feet 7 inches tall, dressed in a black sweatshirt and dark pants, leave his office.” He even fits the same height that we have read about in past Police Briefs. Gee and to think he is still roaming around.

What kind of laptop only costs $100? And why would anyone want to steal a laptop only worth a hundred bucks?

I sympathize. For those of you that aren’t reading all the details because the State News isn’t always writing them. Two laptops and other valuables have been stolen from the Plant Biology building. Both laptops were locked using laptop locks. Both laptops had the cords snipped. Whoever is stealing these are going with the intention to steal them because you need a nice set of wire or bolt cutters to get through them as quickly as the thefts are occurring.
It’s not that people are being careless with their laptops or other valuables. Employees and graduate students are locking them up, it’s when someone leaves for a few minutes to run to the bathroom, drop something off, pick something up from somewhere that they have been stolen. And their preventative measures are even failing.

He should talk to the girl who lost an iPod. He could probably hook her up with a brand new one for $25.

Anon, I am sorry to hear that the University has had such a problem with this thief. But honestly we really aren’t making fun of anyone. We are just using the subject matter to be silly and have some fun. I really hope that they catch this thief it is horrible what he is doing..
Sincerely,
