So sorry to hear about theft on campuses. My DS1 had all his meds stolen a few weeks ago. (for skin, for ADD, for anxiety, and for depression) His doctor told him the street value for some of those pills would be $10 per pill, and we had just refilled one of the meds. That’s $300…no wonder kids wanted to steal that!

The worst part was that his anxiety/depression then went through the roof. UGH! And our insurance wouldn’t cover a refill. Fortunately, our doctor was very helpful, so in the end, everything worked out, but it was a frustrating experience. I heard it was some kids who weren’t students there.

Funny thing: they didn’t even try to take anything else. Computer was still there. But, he has one of those wire locks attached to it, so maybe that was enough of a deterrent. BTW: he emails his papers to himself, just in case his computer crashes.
