Re: What to do about a theft problem?

I received a respond from someone who wishes to remain nameless in this matter, so I will respect his/her wishes and post this message for him/her.


**************************************************
We have had problems with people other than the students stealing stuff. We have noticed shop teachers will also take stuff. For example: Sometimes we forget to clean things up and these things tend to get placed in the shop teachers (locked cabinents). (dont ask how we found this out....)

We are also missing other items which we know we did not leave out. They are also probably in the shop teachers hands. As you can tell our team does not have a good relationship between shop class and robotics. We try to combat theft by locking up all our stuff in cabinents and by keeping things in our main advisors room. We also lock up more expensive stuff such as digital cameras and edu bot stuff. Something you could probably get a file cabinent for cheap to lock stuff up. Or you could even make something out of plywood.

Just thought I would let you know it may not be just the students....
If you have anymore questions just ask!
