One of our Public Safety officers told a few interesting stories over the summer: A group of girls had left their room unlocked one day. Someone came in and left a note saying if they did it again, he would come back and clean the place out. Suffice it to say the message was left un heeded. The following night he came in, robbed them blind, and even tapped each one of them to try to wake them up. They didn't even realize what had happened until the next afternoon. Bikes that are not locked to fairly large objects tend to disappear around here. One dude chained his bike to a small tree. When he came back, the tree was cut down and the bike was gone. (for some odd reason, the State University of New York takes its Public Safety officers seriously........they give them guns.) mike

Heck, that's nothing. I knew this girl who got a new bike, fastened it to a street light, and when she returned, the street light had been knocked down and the bike was gone. Also,everything has to be securely fastened. Either wheel will be stolen, the bike seat, the bike lock, etc. Even some of the students here are thieves. During the um, scavenger hunt sponsored by some student organization or whatever, students stole just about everything; signs off of buses, road signs from Pennsylvania, farm equipment, military equipment, etc. I remember me and about six other guys dragging a 35 foot yacht behind us down a Hyde Park Street(lit. manpower) for the stupid event, only to find some people got points for submitting a toy boat with 35 little foot prints. Of course, our house, Broadview, had won the last two hunts by a wide margin, so the judging committee was pretty strict on our submissions at the time. We ended up losing to a massive coalition of some group called the 'Model UN' or something. John

SO? WPI's officers have guns too, standardized now. Most of the officers have 9mm automatics, I think Glocks or Barrettas, some have the .38 revolver. But my freshman year, before they standardized, Cheryl (Sorry, that's how I know her. She's a Seargent...), a very large woman (I'm 6'6" and I consider her big) used to carry a .44 Automag. BIG gun for this campus... ############################################################################### # I have one prejudice, and that is against stupidity.

This guy, nicknamed "The Hooded Intruder" has been entering female suites/rooms wings at night and fondling them, or sometimes just stand and watch them sleep. This guy has been doing this for about an year now and our public safety still hasn't nabbed the guy. On the other hand, yesterday, some FBI agents searched a room in Dickson, took some fingerprints from the resident and took few things with them. There was no comment from anyone on this subject, but I have my suspicions. -- T. H. Brian Chung | Happiness is... Internet: jfe@alchemy.tn.cornell.edu | "Tea, Earl Grey, hot."

A friend of mine locked his bicycle to a lightpost or some such thing outside some random campus building. Upon returning, he found the bike gone so he goes over to Public Safety to report the theft. Guess what he finds chained up outside the Public Safety office? He thinks someone was trying to tell him he has a cheap lock. :) -- ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- -- Erik Collin cougar@hermes.acm.rpi.edu -- -----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Actually, WPI calls them 'Campus Police' and they can issue tickets, etc. From what I've heard if you ditch tickets they go to the Worcester PD for further action... They can also be called to assist the WPD if needed.... HEY, TERRYLEE! You're a dispatcher, are the Whoopie Cops actually police? I think they are, but I defer to your knowledge. ############################################################################### # I have one prejudice, and that is against stupidity.

There's been a lot of mornings where I've driven around campus, and seen someone getting a ticket. It's not campus security though, the local police dept actually comes up just to issue speeding tickets... -=<Dirk>=-
