Public service announcement: Stealing is bad
A recent occurrence has caused me to feel the need to reach out and say a few words about a growing problem, not only on campus, but nationwide. I am, of course, talking about stealing.
Let me tell you a story about a dear friend of mine named Nick. We’ll call him Nick Money both to protect his identity and to increase his street credibility. Nick went to class last week, as he is a responsible student; however, someone else was being less-than-responsible while Nick was going about his scholastic pursuits. This person broke into poor Nick’s car and removed many items. This is a bad thing to do, boys and girls.
This simple act of thievery prevented Nick from being able to properly study, enjoy musical wonderfulness, and park legally in a metered lot. This is not even taking into account emotional scarring that this selfish act inflicted upon my dear friend now that he can no longer feel safe simply locking his doors.
Friends, I like to believe that each and every one of you is a good person. Don’t let me down by doing something so evil as participating in thievery.
-Your friend, Steve
