Many apartment-dwellers choose to steal dorm furniture for their homes.
Furniture theft troubles dorm officials
By Debbie Howlett
Of the Emerald
The charging of three Univer
sity students with the theft of a
sofa Tuesday from Dunn
Residence Hall in the Hamilton
Complex illustrates a much
larger problem — the increasing
incidence of furniture theft in
University housing facilities,
says Sgt Rick Allison of the
Eugene Police department.
The students — Scott Calvin,
Steve Paquin and David Dudley
— were taken into custody
Tuesday after a dorm resident
reported seeing three people
loading a sofa into a pick-up
truck at the dorm around 12:30
a m Tuesday The student
wrote down the license plate
number of the truck which led
police department officials to
the three men. The students live
off-campus in the University
area

"It's always been a prob
lem students try to furnish
their apartments with dorm fur
niture,' Allison says
"The only thing we could do is
bolt the furniture down and
that's not practical," Allison
says
Of all the dorm complexes,
Walton lost more furniture than
the rest, says Allison And the
beginning of a term, especially
fall term, is the time the thefts
are most likely to occur.
“More of the activity is at the
beginning of the quarter, people
are trying to furnish their apart
ments, " says Dan Williams, di
rector of University housing.
The University loses “not less
than $20-25,000 annually” in
furniture that “just walks off,”
says Williams.
“I don't want to minimize it; in
the context of the whole opera
tion its not a significant amount,
but if is a problem.”
Williams says vacuum
cleaners and fire extinguishers
are the most popular items
among furniipre thieves. “I
don't know what anybody wants
with fire extinguishers,” he
adds
The thefts, especially of the
fire safety equipment, only harm
the students, Williams says.
"If I had to choose, I'd rather
lose the furniture than the fire
safety equipment," he says.
Most of the stolen furniture is
never recovered, Williams says.
"When we’re sure it is not in a
(resident’s) room, we replace
it," Williams says. "Con
sequently students bear the
cost of that. Students essential
ly underwrite the cost."
"I guess it's the morality of the
whole thing that troubles me,”
Williams says. "Because of the
size of the operation people
think it's okay to steal from the
University.”
