• A student’s laptop was stolen from her backpack sometime between 10:50 a.m. and 1 p.m. on Tuesday, Aug. 25, Campus Police said. The student used the computer during her 9 a.m. class in the Business Building, but did not use it during her next class at 11 a.m. in the same building. During that second class, the student noticed that her backpack zipper was slightly opened, but was not certain if the laptop was or wasn’t in the bag at that time. After her class ended at 12:20 p.m., the student went straight to Eickhoff Dining Hall for lunch where she said she left her backpack unattended for “a second” while she went to get a drink. She then returned to her room where she took a nap. Upon waking up, the student discovered that her laptop, valued at $500, was missing, Campus Police said.
