The owner of the bicycle came out of the building and observed the attempted theft. The owner contacted the police after confronting the thief. The unknown subject is described as: Black male, 6'-0".

This five-minute time frame allowed the thief to leave the area undetected by the police responding to the area. FREE PIZZA I would like to take this time to remind everyone and to inform all of the new subscribers to the Campus Watch about the standing police offer. The University of Texas Police Department will give you a FREE PIZZA of your choice if you report a suspicious person that you observe in the bicycle racks. If you contact the police department and that telephone call leads to the apprehension and arrest of that subject, The University of Texas Police Department will deliver to you a FREE PIZZA of your choice. Since the UTPD began this program we have delivered 5 FREE PIZZAS to students as well as staff members. The next FREE PIZZA might be yours. 1800 BLOCK RED RIVER Assist Outside Agency: A non-UT subject was observed shaking the exterior doors to the building violently in an attempt to enter the building.
