Now I've seen everything....

I'm logged into our school from home, look who is logged in the system,
and see some user logged in from one of the computer labs. Ah, but
the campus is closed on Saturdays during the summer. How did this
guy get into a lab?  

I look to see what he is running (though I knew already, since this user
ALWAYS runs IRC, almost all the time we are open -- obviously he has
no modem at home...).  Yup, irc....

I call the campus's security number. Nothing.  I then try calling the
campus's emergency number. If the building is open, someone is supposed
to always be at that number.  Nothing again.

Getting weirder.

I have the beeper number of the security supervisor, so I beep him. He
calls, verifies that the building is closed, and confirms that the
alarm company had just called him saying they got a hit in the building
on one of the motion detectors.

SOME IDIOT ACTUALLY BROKE INTO THE SCHOOL TO RUN IRC!!!!!!!

Apparently, what happened.... we have two buildings on two city blocks,
connected by an enclosed pedestrian walkway.  Both buildings were closed,
but one had construction/renovation work going on in it.  Apparently,
the student snuck into the construction entrance, went upstairs, opened
a fire door, went across the ped walkway to the other building, opened
another fire door to gain access to that building, and yet another 
fire door to access the wing where the labs are.  How he got into a 
class lab that is supposed to be locked, we don't know at this point.

All to get his IRC fix.

Amazing!!!

(Note and beware of followups...)
