just to let you know, i talked to the security guard at my school who also happens to be a cop at the racine house. i told him about the break in, he said that they dont usually care about those piddly break ins. they have bigger fish to frey. but i did tell him and he said that he would drive around tonight and the next few nights.
hope that helps, sorry to be the break the bad news. it does suck!!!!
