A member of Chi Gamma Epsilon fraternity woke up at 1:30 a.m. to see a white male in his room, approximately 6 feet tall, wearing a black shirt and a backwards white baseball cap. Believing the intruder had mistakenly come into the room, the student went back to sleep. He was, however, surprised to wake up in the morning and find that his Apple laptop computer and digital camera, both of which had been on his desk, were gone. In what police believe to be a related theft, a member of Bones Gate fraternity reported that he left his room at 10:00 p.m., returning at 2:00 a.m. to find his laptop missing. An unknown white male had been reported in the house earlier, but it is not clear if he was involved in the theft or not.
