Laptop larceny

On Monday, March 7, OUPD recorded a missing laptop report. The associate professor who filed the report stated the laptop went missing while class was in session and didn’t notice until later in the afternoon on Monday, Feb. 28. No university information was saved on the laptop, which was strictly used for personal information and lesson plans. There are no suspects at this time.

Missing car to be repossessed

On Tuesday, March 8, OUPD officers responded to a stolen vehicle report from the George T. Matthews Apartments on campus. The student’s car was scheduled for repossession on the date of the report. The student was interviewed to ensure the vehicle was not moved to evade repossession. The student claimed he was ready to buy a new truck and would have been happy if someone took the vehicle, as he did not care. Other parking lots were checked, but no sign of the missing vehicle. OUPD contacted the student’s insurance company and the repossession company and the car was not reported as repossessed.

Vending machine larceny

On Friday, March 11, a vending machine employee reported to the OUPD that someone had been opening various vending machines on campus with a key and removing the coin boxes. It was reported that three of the machines in the Oakland Center were tampered with. None of the machines were vandalized, leading investigators to believe that a current or ex-employee is suspect.
