- Don't feel like filling out a survey, but I figured somebody might
- like these crime stories from the University of North Texas:
-
- True stories (at least in that they were documented in the school paper)
- ------------
-
- * Several coeds, who left their dorm room doors unlocked for
- an unknown reason, woke up in the middle of the night to find
- a man tickling their feet. This happened on three or four
- different occasions, each time to different women.
-
- * A woman reported that she was raped on a dirt patch outside
- of her dorm. It later turned out that there were heavy thunderstorms
- the night of the rape and she was dry and clean when reporting
- her story to the police. (The initial reports of this got a
- big write-up.)
-
- * A student musician decided it would be good publicity for
- his band if he wrote it's name with shoe polish on all the
- campus signs and buildings. Right. (For the record, the band's
- name was "Redline.")
-
- * A young couple claimed to have been forced to drive to Austin
- (five hours away) at gunpoint and then had to call their parents
- to bring them back because they were out of gas and money. This
- happened on a Friday, though, and they didn't call until
- Sunday night. They also apparently scraped together enough
- money to rent a motel room.
-
- * The campus chief of police had his car, equipped with an
- alarm and locking car cover, stolen from his driveway while
- he was at home and awake. (The thieves only got a few miles
- before they ran out of gas, though.)
-
- Possible ULs
- ------------
-
- * Two coeds wake up in the middle of the night to hear a man
- banging on their apartment door "HEY, IT'S JOE! LET ME IN!"
- They let him in, he pulls out a knife, ties them up, and robs
- the place. The girls later reported "he sounded familiar."
-
- * A woman studying in a library carroll is approached by a student
- who claims to want to use her foot, while she studies, to
- bone up for an anatomy exam. At first he just looks at the
- foot, unobstrusively, but he periodically asks more outlandish
- things ("do you mind if I touch your foot") with the obvious
- end result.
-
- I could go on and on and on.
