That is why you MUST lock your doors in the dorms. I lived in the dorms for 3 years and always locked my door and aware. Burglaries happen all the time each year and in every building I've been in.
Hopefully it will teach those a lesson who didn't lock their doors. You can't trust everyone in the dorms. The majority maybe but not everyone.

I concur. My situation was very fortunate. I was in Pritchard, and someone broke into my dorm room. I was able to confront them, before they made off with my engineering tablet, but unfortunately, I got in one little fight and my mom got scared
She said 'You're movin' with your auntie and uncle in Bel Air'
I whistled for a cab and when it came near
The license plate said fresh and it had dice in the mirror
If anything I can say is that this cab was rare
But I thought 'Man forget it' - 'Yo home to Bel Air'
I pulled up to the house about seven or eight
And I yelled to the cabbie 'Yo homes smell ya later'
I looked to my kingdom
I was finally there
To sit on my throne as the Prince of Bel Air
