Lady of tdaxp’s Toyota was ransacked last night, presumably by a hobo or student in search of cash. None was in it, so nothing was stolen, but this crime is still disappointing. I would like to think that the University of Nebraska – Lincoln is a safe school.
The gas door was open. This is only unlockable through a bizarrely placed lever near the driver’s door. The guess is that the vandal was trying to open the trunk to see what is in there, and accidentally popped the gas. (The car’s hood was open, presumably for the same reason.)
A little plastic door that swung open was torn off.
The burglar, apparently frustrated, knocked out the rear-view mirror
After eight requests (that was a fun conversation!), the CYA Resident Management finally gave us the form to fill out, documenting that this happened at her dorm. We called campus security, and a competent officer arrived and made a report.
In spite of last year’s hate speech, I generally enjoyed graduate housing last year which is why I returned. Now, between menial theft and this, that is no longer true.
