Sept. 30 – Skateboard Theft (Bldg 16)

A skateboard, valued at over $100, was stolen from the locking rack outside Building 16.  The victim said he had locked two skateboards, one of his and one of a friend’s, on to the rack at about 10 p.m. on Sept. 30.

Oct. 1 – Investigation (Bldg 58E)

An individual from Student Union management stated that he had revoked a vendor’s guest reservation because of the vendor’s unpredictable step-up times, methods, and other reservation policies. On Oct. 1, the management individual received several voice messages from the  former vendor.

The former vendor’s four separate voice messages expressed her opposition to the management’s decision. She stated that she felt they had a vendetta against her, and that her business was her only source of income. She felt the management was heartless to take it away from her.

She  detailed  her  personal hardships, and cautioned the management individual on the subject of Karma, before stating that the whole situation had depressed her, and she had contemplated suicide.

When UPD contacted the former vendor, the woman stated that she was upset at the way the whole situation was handled. She said that she felt what she was allowed to do  as a vendor was continually changed, and every time she attempted to comply, the restrictions changed. She also stated that her claim of contemplating suicide was made in order to show the management individual how bad she felt.

The former vendor also stated that she knew she could not return but was planning to have an appointment with someone, to discuss the Management individual’s way of talking with her.
