In case you haven’t seen those cops riding through the sorority quad on Segways, University police have taken visible measures to beef up their presence around campus. But a recent robbery in Evanston shows that NU students are not the only target. A 46-year-old Evanston man was arrested Friday for burglarizing a car inside a garage along Sheridan. Think the robber was looking for an iPod or a high-tech stereo system? Nope. Patrick J. Gordon stole $15.91, all in coins. After giving police nonsensical answers for why he wanted to steal the change, Gordon was taken into custody. So next time you take off for a midnight walk down Sheridan, make sure to keep your loose change from jingling in your pockets. You never know what will makes those criminals snap.
