On Tuesday, Sept. 7, at 1:46 p.m.,Director of Residential Life Luis Inoa sent out a Campus Advisory e-mail to all Vassar students. The text of the e-mail was composed by Associate Director of Security Kim Squillace, who advised students to “be very careful securing [their] residence and valuables,” following an increase in “stolen-property reports” from the Town Houses.
The stolen items include electronic products such as iPods, laptops and an Xbox. The thefts are being investigated by The Town Police and Vassar College Security.
Below is Squillace’s complete letter, which contains a detailed report of the thefts:
Please be very careful securing your residence and valuables. We’ve recently had a rash of stolen property reports from the Town Houses.
On September 4th at approximately 1:31am a student reported that their laptop was stolen from their room. The perpetrator cut the screen to the student’s window allowing them access to the laptop. A second incident took place on September 6th between the hours of 3am-5am. An Xbox, games and camera among other items were removed by access of an unlocked door. A third incident took place this morning. A laptop and two Ipod’s were removed by access of an unlocked door.
The Town Police and Vassar College Security are actively investigating the case and have added patrols to the area. Please keep your doors and windows secure when you leave your units.
Call the Campus Response Center (X 5221) should you see any suspicious persons or activities and we will investigate immediately.
