Console theft, lol

Wow, someone stole my friends Xbox 360...

Ok, today my friend called me a said that someone had stolen his 360 from his dorm, at school. He said that it may have been someone his roomate let in, or someone just got into their dorm somehow. This reminds me of that story about how one guy actually got his 360 back because he had a controller that was still Synced to the 360, and he found it. Too bad they bagged all of his accesories and his games, and he can't do the same as that guy.

But this seems common in college dorms, just last summer while I was working a temporay summer job, one of my employees who came back home for the summer said that someone at his housing also stole his 360. I'm just wondering, if you guy's live on dorms with you consoles do you put them up? Or are you trusting enough to leave them out when you're gone from your dorm?

Um...when I lived in the dorms at college we had these things called locks that only you and your roommate (and the Resident Assistant) had keys too. But I only locked the door when we were both out of the room or we were sleeping. Otherwise I just left it slightly ajar for showers and such...I didn't have any problems. If his roommate let someone in to steal his 360 then the roommate deserves a punch in the cheddar cheese. FragStains

I never lived in the dorms... I could live off campus for cheaper.

But a good friend of mine lived in them. Even though he had a separate room with it's own locking door, he kept all of his stuff in a trunk with a pad lock.

the risk of theft is always there and an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.

for next time... get tenants insurance and then document everything you have of value. that $11 a month is worth it, imo.

I agree with Fragstains. You should lock your door. I've never once worried about mine getting stolen because we lock the door if we're gone.

This is why we have an engraving program on campus. You can take just about anything (consoles, iPods, Laptops, bicycles) to the campus police station and they'll put your name on it.
