Loss value: $100.00. Occurred on 09/17/14 between 12:30 PM and 12:45 PM. GUADALUPE PARKING GARAGE, 417 West 17th Street Burglary of Motor Vehicle: On 08/30/14 a non-UT subject entered a 2006 Jeep Wrangler and stole a car radio converter, a backpack containing a wallet, a tow rope, a vehicle jack, several gift cards and a flute from the vehicle. It is believed the thief entered the vehicle through the zip-up soft top. The owner did not report the burglary to the UT Police Department at that time. The thief was later arrested by the Austin Police Department for burglary of a habitation. When arrested, the thief was found to be in possession of the stolen wallet. Loss value: $440.00. Recovery value: $10.00. Occurred on 08/30/14 between 11:30 AM and 7:00 PM. Crime Prevention Tip: We never recommend you leave any property in your vehicle. This is even more imperative if you have a vehicle that cannot be locked or one that has a soft-top convertible like a Jeep Wrangler. If a thief can see property in your vehicle he or she will use force to break in. If they can enter just by unzipping a soft-top cover, it just makes their job easier. MEZES HALL, 154 West 21st Street Disrupting a Meeting or Procession / Assault by Contact / Criminal Trespass / Criminal Trespass Warning: Where do I start? The UT Police Department responded to a call of two subjects dressed in costumes that would tend to cause some of us older folks to ruminate to our childhood Saturday morning cartoons. The “cat and mouse” were reported as dancing around the South Mall prior to entering Mezes Hall classrooms where they disrupted classes that were in session. The two were accompanied by two other non-UT subjects who were capturing their tales on video. The four were later located inside the PCL Library engaging in the same Tom and Jerry foolery. The investigation revealed one of the four subjects had previously received a written criminal trespass warning. That subject was also reported to have run his hand down the back of a female student inside a Mezes classroom. The two “cartoons” were found to have disrupted a meeting or procession when they stopped educational classes in session. They were subsequently taken to the pound or what many of us would call jail. The other two were issued written criminal trespass warnings and directed to leave the campus. Reported on 09/17/14 at 5:11 PM. 2200 Guadalupe Assist Outside Agency: A non-UT subject was observed walking around his vehicle while it was parked and running in the middle of the roadway. The subject was not in possession of his driver’s license and was found to have six outstanding outside agency arrest warrants for traffic violations (including one for no driver’s license), two outstanding outside agency arrest warrants for alcohol offenses, one outstanding outside agency warrant for a drug offense and one outstanding outside agency arrest warrant for a theft. Occurred on 09/17/14 at 10:02 PM. Moral of the story: If you have 10 outstanding arrest warrants, don’t block a busy roadway with your car while you stretch your legs. 2500 University Graffiti: Red spray paint was used to write words on an electrical box located on the side of the road. Removal cost: $50.00. Discovered on 09/17/14 at 9:27 AM. The University of Texas Police Department responded to 38 Alarm Reports, 3 Fire Alarm Reports, 9 Suspicious Activity Report, 3 Traffic Violations, 1 Collision, 1 Stuck elevator, 2 Found Property Reports, 2 Welfare Concern Reports, 2 Unsecured Door Reports, 2 Medical Emergency Reports and 2 Public Assist Reports between 09/17/14 and 09/18/14.
