On November 6, 2009 at about 2:40 p.m. the male shown in the photos below, followed a student into the vestibule of Woodbridge Hall and stole his i-pod. The male followed the victim from the area of Broadway and W. 115 St, and engaged him in conversation prior to following him into the vestibule. The suspect fled north to W. 116 St. and turned east towards Claremont Ave.
@gates and buffett So Bill Gates and Warren Buffett are at Columbia tomorrow, for a ‘town hall’ event. It will be on CNBC, but what’s the deal with tickets? Why haven’t I heard about this anywhere?
@hey bwog I heard a rumor that someone was stuck up in between the inner and outer doors of woodbridge the other day. Now at first I thought this seemed improbable because we would have gotten an email from cu public safety. But the more I think about it, the more I realize they might try to cover their asses on this. Is this anything more than a rumor? Got any info?
@not stuck in…*stuck up in*…i.e., was robbed. It is absolutely possible. You walk down the street, go in the outer door, someone comes in behind you and demands your wallet–the guard, of course, does nothing. Meanwhile, you’re scared shitless and can’t get in the inner door. How is this impossible?

@Huh? Where’s the words “armed” and “gun”?
@... anybody who still spells it “i-pod” is just a dumbass.
@wtf 2:40 pm????
@buffgates tickets were only offered to business school students through a random lottery. no one else can get them

@Yep I heard that too.
@Anonymous are you morbidly obese?
or
did you forget your CUID and it was too cold outside to wait for someone else to swipe you in?
if neither are correct, i have no idea how this is even possible.

@yep also heard about this–i heard it was a cell phone that was stolen, right in front of the guard
@what is more worrying than it happening is that we haven’t heard anything about it from public safety.
@Heh Give the slow columbia bureaucracy a day. *Then* you can rake ’em over the coals and send tips to the NY Post
@IMDB Goofs It is a well known fact that Marilyn Monroe had webbed brains.
