An Apple iPod and a Microsoft Xbox, valued at $510 collectively, were stolen from a student’s first-floor room in Enchanted Broccoli Forest late Wednesday night during the dorm’s weekly “Happy Wednesday” social. Police say that someone cut open the window screen to enter the room.

“This was an isolated incident, as far as we know,” said Lt. Hilary Karp, who is handling the case. “We haven’t had any series of burglaries at this house.”

The student, senior Juan Sanchez, said that the burglary occurred sometime between 11:30 p.m. and 12:30 a.m. while he was hanging out with his friends.

“[The culprit] threw my monitor on the ground but failed to even touch the CPU,” Sanchez said. “Looking at what they tried but failed to take, these people were obviously idiots. However, the loss of the X-Box has sapped the spirit of [Sanchez’s draw group].”

Hilary described the incident as a “crime of opportunity,” in that the room’s window was open and the culprit had an easy way in. The police have no leads in the case, and Sanchez could not think of anyone who might have committed the crime.

“There isn’t a whole lot we can do, especially when there are no patterns and when there was a party that attracted a lot of unassociated people to the house,” Karp said. “But students should always lock their doors and close their windows when they leave their rooms.”

Sanchez had his own warnings.

“It appears that they cut their way in with a knife or another sharp object,” he said. “I was only out of my room for an hour - what if one of us had come in 25 minutes earlier? Everyone should keep these kinds of things in mind, especially if you’re living on the first floor.”
