Seven residents of a campus-area quad com
plex became the latest victims Friday of a recent
rash of Eugene car thefts.
University student Jennifer Broadhent und six
other people who live in Woodside Manor,
1810 Harris St., had their vehicles broken into
sometime between 12:10 and fi a.m, Friday
Diana Robson, the complex manager, said
four stereos, a pair of speakers, a bitfe and a tool
box were taken from the seven vehicles
The thieves also broke into one truck and
stole a single banana. Robson said.
"They broke in and todV a bunano from some
groceries and left everything else." she said.
“They nte the banana and threw the peel under
another car."
Robson said the thieves appeared to bo inex
perienced and did a lot of damage to the vehi
cles they broke into.
“They were prulwbly just some kids putting
on o crime wave to show how tough they were.''
she said. "It was random and wusn't very well
planned.”
Robson said the complex has never experi
enced this level of crime in the past. She said
usually the quad complex only has onu or two
thefts from tars a year
Broadhent's Volkswagen fetta. parked in the
manor's parking garage, showed no signs of
forced entry. The car's driver-side door lock was
somehow defeated and her $300 stereo and five
tapes were taken. The thieves also took the tune
to open a box of Broadhent's laundry detergent
and spill it all over the inside of the car.
The thieves used a blunt object to break out
the locks of two of the vehicles in the garage
Hroadhent said the entire door lock was missing
from a Ford Aerostar parked under the quad
complex, it is unknown how the thieves broke
into the other five vehicles.
Hroadhent is just one of the many University
students who have recently been victimized by
car thieves In the past two weeks, the Univer
sity Office of Public Safety has taken more than
a dozen reports on thefts from student vehicles.
