stolen tools - security

[Barbara Richmond]

Hi Fred,

Just wondering, did you report it to security and perhaps physical plant?  I
had the problem once and it turned out that my stuff wasn't the only target.
The offender was caught.   A couple years before I had had to have a
discussion with the folks at physical plant explaining that the university
didn't own my tools (unlike the tools at physical plant).
