Thieves at Work
Thieves at Work
Thieves are at work in the foyer of the Hunter Building. On two occasions, satchels and bags have been broken into. Wallets and purses have been extracted, stripped of money and concession tickets from train, tram, and cable car. On both these reported occasions, the wallets were abandoned in other parts of the building, once in a lecture room, and once in a telephone booth.
The thieves have not been content with these however.
Salient honesty boxes are broken into with disturbing regularity. It is unpleasant to realise that the honesty boxes of the Dominion and the Evening Post, in Wellington's busy streets, have lower incidence of theft, than those of the student newspaper, whose sales are restricted to those of the 3700 students, who regularly pass through Vic. corridors.
