When she went to retrieve the purse at the end of the game it was gone. The student waited several weeks to report the incident because she thought the purse would turn up in the lost and found. Police have no suspects.

    On Oct. 25 between 5 and 6 p.m., a FedEx package was stolen from the doorstep of a Wymount Terrace apartment. When the victim arrived home a neighbor asked if he had received the package. Later the empty box was found near the apartment. The package was missing a Zelda II video game valued at $60. A female magazine saleswoman was seen in the area at the time of the theft but police were unable to locate her for questioning. Police have no other suspects.

    VANDALISM

    On Oct. 26, the elevator buttons of Deseret Towers W-Hall were glued. The vandals used SuperGlue to render every button useless. Damage to the elevator totaled $630. No one has been cited for the incident.

    MISCHIEVOUS BEHAVIOR

    At midnight on Oct. 29, University Police were called to assist Provo Police in dispersing a crowd in front of Gold’s Gym on 1720 North 500 E. A University Policeman arrived to find a Utah Highway Patrolman chasing a man with handcuffs through the crowd. When officers were able to detain the man, he said the handcuffs were fake and part of a joke. The man was cited for disorderly conduct.

    Officers responded to a call of an explosion at Deseret Towers Q-Hall on Oct. 27 at 12:45 a.m. Near the building, officers found burnt pieces of paper and the smell of burnt explosive powder. Police believe the homemade explosive device may have been thrown from a window in the building. There are no suspects and no damage was reported.
