One thing that disappeared a lot when I was in college was razors. GILETTE Mach III's are like fucking gold. Hide them when you have people over. That goes for the razors and also the replacements.

This trend continued when I moved off-campus to a house. It seems like the bathroom gives good cover for a thief, and those razors are very expensive and necessary.

It got to the point where we would hide the Mach 3's first and basically nothing else when we had parties. It became a ritual. My friend had his nutshaver stolen once... (beard trimmer used exclusively on the balls)

People steal the wierdest stuff I found out in college. A lot of times its not stuff that someone could actually use, its just because you put a bunch of kids with some beer and poof, no more conscience.

I stole a bunch of cd's from a house I was partying at when I was a frosh at college. The next morning I felt like the biggest prick and couldn't understand why I did it. I think it was just the rush of it. I also noticed they were cd's of bands I didn't listen to. I felt like an even bigger asshole when I opened the cases and found out the cd's weren't even in there.

As far as comps are concerned: My resident advisor, RA RO, whatever they are at your school, had his laptop stolen. My school, most likely the case of most, has a centralized network for the dorms. The guy went to the campus IT center and told them about the problem. He still saved some drivers or something from the laptop and used that to get a device ID code for the laptop. He had his buddy, along with the campus police, put out a search for teh computer's IP address or Device ID (The story gets fuzzy here, it was a few years ago) and they found it being used in a room accross campus. So the cops stormed up to the room and busted the kid who stole the laptop. They also found in his possession a couple others.

Before I end like the SoBe guy, try to resist the temptation to have a bunch of miscellaneous dudes in your room to get drunk. You may trust your friends, but ts ghard to trust friends of friends of friends. You can see where I'm going with this..

As it has been mentioned do yourself a favor and get completely ripped for me in the dorms. Don't worry abot your stupid computer or your 12 dollar mach 3's. Don't fret the small things. Get completely wasted and cause a scene whenever you can. I guarantee you won't remember your stolen laptop or pc 10 years from now if it does happen. However, you will remember getting in a dorm-wide debate about some abstract political theory or smashing some dudes face in with a beer bottle, or setting your dorm on fire. These are the memories that really count. good luck.
