A Syracuse University College of Law student returned from spring break on March 16 at about 12:30 p.m. and discovered his townhouse burglarized and his car stolen on the 1200 block of James Street, according to a Syracuse Police report.

When the student entered the house, he said he noticed his 34-inch television, PlayStation 2 and PlayStation 2 games were missing from the family room and his stereo was missing from his bedroom, the report stated.

The student said one of his two roommates was missing his 27-inch television and DVD player as well, according to the report.

Syracuse police spoke with the SU student’s neighbor, who said the student’s garage door was open all day on March 13 and March 14 and was closed sometime on March 15. The neighbor said he tried contacting the students, but could not get a hold of them, the report stated.

It appears the garage door opener inside the stolen vehicle may have been used to get into the house. The student said the door from the garage to the house is always left unlocked, according to the report.

There were no signs of forced entry and there was no one home at the adjoining houses when the student contacted Syracuse police, the report stated.

n A student returned from spring break on March 20 and noticed her bracelet, placed in her jewelry box, was stolen out of her room in Dellplain Hall, according to a Syracuse police report.

The student said her bracelet is uniquely designed, flashy and expensive, and was remarked upon by a great number of female students, according to the report.

The student said she could not think of a single person who showed the most interest in the bracelet, but virtually everyone she came in contact with would take notice of it, the report stated.

Nothing around the jewelry box where the bracelet was kept appeared to have been searched, moved or disturbed, according to the report.

The student said she trusts her roommates, who were not in the room at the time, in keeping the room safe and secure, the report stated.

No members on the cleaning or maintenance staff had access to the dorm rooms during the break, and the room’s door did not appear damaged upon the student’s return, according to the report.

The student said his car stereo and book of 50 CD’s were valued at more than $700, according to the report.
