<p>From wtnh.com tonight: New Haven police are also looking for the person who robbed a Yale student of his homework.</p>

<p>you’re not kidding: sounds awefully sad and occured in Hamden of all places. She had to leave New Haven in order to get robbed! </p>

<p><a href=“http://www.nhregister.com/site/news.cfm?newsid=17373113&BRD=1281&PAG=461&dept_id=590581&rfi=6[/url]”>http://www.nhregister.com/site/news.cfm?newsid=17373113&BRD=1281&PAG=461&dept_id=590581&rfi=6&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

<p>HAMDEN — Christi Avery is writing her doctoral dissertation on forgiveness, and she said she will forgive the person who stole her life’s work, especially if it’s returned. </p>

<p>Avery was in Hamden early Friday evening visiting her boyfriend at his family business in the Hamden Industrial Park off Dixwell Avenue when she discovered just before 7 p.m. that the car she had parked in the lot was broken into and the black leather laptop bag inside was stolen. Police Capt. Ronald Smith on Tuesday said a rock was thrown through a passenger-side window of the car, and police are investigating. </p>

<p>Avery said the bag contained two USB drives — small, plastic-encased chips that also are called memory sticks — one blue and one red.</p>

<p>“They have my life’s work on them,” she said.</p>

<p>The bag also contained her pager, her planner, papers she wrote for work, about 200 other papers she had done for school and electronically copied articles she was using for research for her Ph.D. dissertation. Police said she initially told them there were no valuables in the bag except for the pager and a small amount of currency, but that she called the investigating officer back about three hours later to say the drives containing papers for graduate school were in the bag and asked police to check the area for the bag because they were inside…</p>

<p>Sounds horrible. :(</p>

<p>That’s why you back things up. Gives more validity to the theory that Ph.D. students are out of touch.</p>

<p>A year from now, New Haven police may be better equipped to deal with the perpetrator!</p>
