Carpenter call
A custodian working in Barrows Hall reported a broken door on the west side of the building at 2:44 a.m. on Sept. 12. It appeared to have been kicked in, forcing it to open in the opposite direction. A carpenter was called to fix the door at a cost of $100.
Borrowing without asking
A blue Next bike was borrowed from the bike rack outside Kennebec Hall on the morning of Sept. 13. The owner, a Kennebec resident, reported the missing bike at 9:16 a.m. A few hours later, officers located the bike propped against a tree a short distance from the hall.
Knox theft
Money and debit cards were stolen from a second-floor dorm room in Knox Hall on the night of Sept. 13. The two residents reported the theft at 6:18 p.m. on Sept. 14. They left the room at 9:30 p.m. and returned at 2:30 a.m. to find several items missing: $40 in cash, both residents' debit cards and two gift cards. It is probable that the door was not properly shut, as there was no sign of forced entry. The case is under investigation.
