Unfortunately, Bellarmine is no stranger to theft. A number of cases of theft were noticed last year, ranging from laptops, ipods, textbooks, or cash. What we see less frequently, however, is an out-sider stealing from Bellarmine’s campus. But starting sometime in the middle of June, thieves stole from Bellarmine on three distinct occasions; we are yet to find the culprit(s).
