From today's Campus Watch crime report:
Criminal Mischief (Parking Lot F-11)
A UT staff member damaged a vehicle wheel immobilizer that had been affixed to the left front tire of the staff member's Honda Civic 2-door when the staff member drove out of the parking lot with the wheel immobilizer still attached to the wheel. Repair cost: $275.00. Occurred on 12-1-04 at 10:40 PM.
Excuse me? The staff member drove out of the lot with the wheel immobilizer still attached? The report does not say "attempted to drive" out of the lot. Nope, it says "drove" out of the lot. How in the world can that possibly work? Wow.
Also from today's report:
Fictitious Driver's License (Peter T. Flawn Academic Center)
A red wallet containing cash, various credit cards, a valid Texas Driver's License and a fictitious Texas driver's license was left on a copier. The wallet was turned over to a library staff member. Occurred on 12-1-04 at 7:55 PM.
Heh. You leave your wallet behind. By a stroke of great luck, it's found by a good samaritan who turns it in. Contents intact. But, you get into trouble anyway for having a fake ID. How sad is that?

It's December 2nd so I'm gonna wish my surrogate dad a very happy birthday anniversary. When I was in college and my folks were living in South America, my best friend's family took me under their collective wing. They're a great bunch of folks. And, now "Dad #2" is having a birthday anniversary. He much prefers that terminology. As he is wont to point out, his birthday actually happened all those years ago when he was born. Today is, in fact, the anniversary of that day. Can't argue with that! So, happy birthday anniversary, Dad Mear!
