Vandalism
School In Disrepair
On Tuesday, May 4th, three
incidents of broken car windows
were reported to the Greensboro
police department. Two of the
victims were Grimsley students
and the other was a voter in the
Senate primary elections. These
incidents were part of the minor-.
ity which are reported; police
estimate that fewer than fifty per
cent of vandalism incidents are
reported. Instead, the victims
usually take action themselves
against the vandals.
The Greensboro Police De
partment investigated the matter
but failed to apprehend the car
thiefs Police would not discuss
the matter, but did say, “Articles
of value are often left in full view
without the doors being locked.
Things should not be felt out, but
in glove compartments or under
seats.”
On Tuesday, April 28, BB's
were put in the air valves of 26
buses in the Grimsley parking lot.
Though no tires were slashed, the
tires had to be pumped back up.
This brought about a 45-minute
delay for some “unfortunate”
students.
“The kids put BB's so the tires
would leak slowly. If a cop came
by they could not be caught for
doing anything wrong. It was
really no big deal,” commented
Mr. Gulla, who is in charge of all
Grimsley buses.
These vandalism acts are not
limited to the parking lot only. A
rash of thefts have occurred in the
gym. Articles, including gym
pants, shirts, money, belts and
cigarettes have been stolen from
the gym “lockers”. The problem
obviously lies in a tremendous
lack of security of the “lockers.”
But the gym is limited to strict
budget and simply can not spare
the money.
