>There has been a lot of it lately. Last week I was informed of a theif in my dorm by a member of staff here at Big, and to ensure valuables were locked away. Apparently someone left their camera in the common room briefly while they went to check their email around the corner and a guy picked his camera up and bagged it. When confronted about it he denied it, but there was CCTV footage to identify him doing it. In the end, late Wednesday night if I recall, two lads confronted the guy from my dorm (I thought him odd when he didn’t acknowledge any of us in the room the previous day and that morning). When he denied it again they called the police. They had a bit of a wait on their hands as the guy decided to take a shower as if nothing had happened. Eventually he admitted it and I believe returned the camera. He wasn’t in the dorm when I returned there around midnight, and we were unsure if he had been taken away by police, but he returned and left at 3am.

Then lastnight, around 1:45am, having not long dropped off to sleep, the bloody fire alarm goes off! After 15mins we were allowed back in the building. Read a note in the lift this morning that the alarm was caused by a leak which tripped the alarm. It was difficult to get back to sleep after that as they were carrying roadworks out on the main road, which my dorm happens to overlook. All fun and games. At least it wasn’t raining, and was pleasently warm!!
