This week’s news came a bit late because I just had a really busy day…
Break in again!
Last night, we had a break-in on the 4th floor CHBE. Two offices were pried open and computer equipment was stolen. Both computers were secured with security cords which were pried off with pliers. Please do not leave any valuables in your offices! If you are leaving a desktop computer in the room, please make sure that you have backed it up and take your backup disk home with you.
