Computer Theft!

By Gweny Wong

Twas the night before Christmas and all through the school
not a creature was stirring, not even a fool.

The computers were locked in

their offices with care

not knowing that soon a thief would be there
Security was nestled all snug in their room
unaware ‘round the corner that danger did loom....

More than $10,000 worth of computer
equipment was stolen from Douglas
College over the Christmas break.

This was more than just a crude break
and enter, as the thieves (or thief) were
extremely selective in what they took and
where they hit.

According to Mark Coumont, of
Systems and Computing, all the
computers in the computer labs are
alarmed. However, computers located in
staff and business offices do not have the
same security. Five offices on the “Zero
hundred” and the “One hundred” levels
of the school were hit by the thieves,

Coumont said.

Theft of this magnitude is rare at
Douglas. The final cost of replacing the
stolen equipment has yet to be calculated,
but at least $5000 worth of memory
(SIMS) went missing. A laptop and a
number of video cards were also MIA.
The thieves also damaged or destroyed the
computers’ casing.

The Print Futures room was among
the rooms hit by the thieves. Coumont
hopes that these thefts do not hinder the
Print Futures students. However, it
shouldn’t take longer than one or two
weeks to replace the missing equipment.

There is almost always a long line up so get there really early, or wait a couple
of weeks if you hate line ups. Although waiting in line is a good time to meet new
people, get reaquainted with someone you met in one of your classes, read the
Other Press, stare at the ceiling or at the the back of the person in front of you, sing
campfire songs, learn or teach line dancing, reflect on the New Year’s resolutions
you have already broken a dozen times or think about the other ways you could
have spent your book money.

Regular bookstore hours resume on January 22.

Mon. - Fri. 9am - 4pm.

IT’S THE MOST
IMPORTANT THING

UNIVERSE.
