Campus Watch: Below is a summary of campus activity reported to or observed by The University Police Department Patrol Officers between Wednesday, 03/04/15 and Thursday, 03/05/15. MANOR PARKING GARAGE, 2017 Robert Dedman Duty Upon Striking an Unattended Vehicle: An off-duty police officer reported seeing a blue Honda strike a parked and unattended Lexus while the driver of the Honda was backing into a parking space. After parking, the driver of the Honda exited the vehicle and inspected both vehicles before walking away without leaving a note containing driver information on the Lexus. When that driver was contacted by on-duty police officers she claimed she did not notice the damage that was sustained by both vehicles. Repair costs: $400.00. Occurred on 03/04/15 at 7:06 AM. ROBERTS HALL DORMITORY, 303 East 21st Street Theft: A black and silver colored Neuzer bicycle was stolen while the front wheel of the bicycle was secured to a bicycle rack with a cable lock and a u-lock. Did I mention, the front wheel was not stolen? Loss value: $350.00. Occurred between 03/03/15 at 9:00 AM and 03/04/15 at 8:00 AM. Crime Prevention Tip: The use of two locks is highly effective. If the bicycle frame and front wheel were both secured to a bike rack with a quality u-lock and a cable lock, then the person in possession of this bike today would be the owner…not some thief. 2100 San Antonio Burglary of Motor Vehicle: A non-UT subject approached a UT Police Officer to report a burglary of his parked and unattended Jeep Wrangler. The subject left a set of keys, a laptop computer bag, a pair of shoes and various clothing items in the back of his unsecured Jeep on 03/04/15 at 8:00 AM. When the subject returned to the Jeep on 03/04/15 at 10:30 AM he noticed the property had been stolen. During the investigation, a non-UT subject approached and advised the victim he was able to purchase the stolen shoes from another non-UT subject who was selling clothing items on the street. Shortly thereafter, yet another non-UT subject passed by the area while wearing the victim’s pants. That subject also named the person who sold him the britches. The haberdasher, who goes by the name “Angel” was known to the officer and is now being sought after. Loss value: $55.00. 1800 San Jacinto Disorderly Conduct (Offensive Gesture or Display): The drivers of several vehicles began honking their horns at a UT Police Officer who was stuck in traffic. The drivers of said vehicles pointed toward a silver colored Nissan pick-up truck. Shortly thereafter, an excited non-UT subject approached the officer and stated the driver of the silver Nissan had punched the side mirror of his vehicle while the two were waiting at a traffic light. The officer stopped the driver of the Nissan and discovered that non-UT subject punched the reporting person’s car out of frustration over the traffic jam. Occurred on 03/04/15 at 5:45 PM. The University of Texas Police Department responded to 22 Alarm Reports, 5 “Police Help” Callbox Activations, 3 Fire Alarm Activations, 5 Suspicious Activity Reports, 20 Traffic Violations, 1 Medical Emergency Assistance Call and 3 Public Assist Requests between 03/04/15 and 03/05/15.
