A UA student called university police Monday after her 1994 Jeep Cherokee was stolen from a campus area parking lot, police reports stated.

The woman said she parked her car in a lot at 1904 E. Helen St. at about 8:30 a.m. When she returned, her car was missing, reports stated.

Police checked the scene of the reported theft and found no broken glass or debris that would indicate forced entry, reports stated.

A UA student contacted police Monday after the phone cord in her residence was cut, reports stated.

The woman said the phone was working Friday and she hadn't used it over the weekend, reports stated.

According to reports, the woman had contacted police earlier in the semester after her roommate left threatening notes in their room at Graham Greenlee Residence Hall, 1418 E. Fourth St.

The woman thought her roommate may have chopped the cord, reports stated.

According to reports, the two had previous disagreements over use of the phone.

The roommate, who hadn't been in the room most of the weekend, said she didn't cut the cord, reports stated.

When the man returned Thursday morning at about 10 a.m., he said someone had broken into his Jeep and stolen his compact disc player, a speaker box, two speakers and some compact discs, reports stated.

He said he put the permit between the sun visor and the window in his Jeep so no one would steal it, reports stated.

After receiving a report that someone saw the stolen pass, police took pictures of a car that belonged to Alexander C. Tai, 18, of Apache-Santa Cruz Residence Hall, 1420 E. Fifth St., reports stated.

After getting pictures of the car with the stolen permit on display, they went to a UA parking lot at 888 N. Euclid Ave. where Tai had parked his car to verify that it was his, reports stated.
