Thefts

Recently in the Commons we have seen the theft of some of our computers, as well as some of the wiring for those computers. This causes us not only stress but to redirect some of our funding that was meant for improved or expanded services to replacing those computers. The Commons is not a rich organization and having to replace these machines means it will be longer before we offer some kind of service we were previously planning on.

So I am asking you, my kind readers, to keep an eye out for suspicious activities in the commons area. We do not perform maintenance of computer hardware, or the removal of computers during the evening or weekend time frames, so if you see someone who claims to be a employee of the Commons or Library picking at the hardware, or computer equipment report it to the nearest staff. They are likely not what they appear.

This really breaks our hearts and I hope that someone reading this blog has information about our previous thefts or will assist in the event of future problems.
