Crime in the Eyes of Students


Students at the Outpost Grill are well-aware of the CSULB theft issues. They say bicycles, laptops and backpacks are the hot items.

"It's freaky, her bike was locked up right next to mine!" says a student recalling a theft back in April.

And a CSULB soccer player remembers the "freaky backpack snatcher." According to the student, during practice his friend kept a close eye on his backpack because it contained his laptop. Soon after his pack was gone he knew and went running. He caught up with the thief who was carrying three snatched bags! Impressively he maintained his temper--letting the crook off with a few expletives. He filed a report, but police told him there was nothing they could do because he had his property back damage-free.

It is hoped the backpack snatcher changed his ways, as one student talks about an iphone snatcher that did. Upon realizing her iphone was missing, she sent multiple texts to her phone, pleading the thief to give it back. The guilt won over and the once-greedy man returned the stolen iphone.
