A bumper sticker stating "I drive a weapon of mass destruction" was placed on a UA student's sport utility vehicle Wednesday, reports stated.

The student told police he left his car on the third level of the Park Avenue garage, 1140 N. Park Ave. When he returned, the sticker was placed over his chrome bumper. The student did not give anyone permission to decorate his car with the sticker.

The bumper sticker also gave www.idon'tcareaboutair.com as a Web site.

No other cars in the lot had similar stickers, and police suspect that the student's car was targeted for the vandalism because it is an SUV, reports stated.

The student was unable to remove the sticker and told police he plans on having it professionally removed. The student expects that his chrome bumper will be damaged when the sticker is removed, and asked police if he could fill out a damage report.

Officers told the student he could fill out the report if his bumper is damaged after the sticker is removed, reports stated.

There are no suspects and no witnesses.


A UA student was walking Wednesday night when somebody threw water on her, reports stated.

She was near East Fourth Street and North Cherry Avenue when a passenger in a passing car threw the water on her and three of her friends. Her friends did not want to report the incident.

Police ran a background check on the license plate and spoke with the vehicle's owner.

The owner told officers that his son, a Rincon High School student, drives the car.

The owner's son couldn't come to the phone because he was sleeping, reports stated.

The UA student does not want to press charges, but did tell police that one of her friends had been sprayed with soda the previous day.


A truck was stolen from campus Wednesday, reports stated.

The student told police he parked his father's car at 3 p.m. at Rincon Track, 501 S. Plumer Ave. When he returned at 6:30 p.m. his car was gone.

The student told police that a cellular phone, CDs, a radar detector, clothes, textbooks, credit cards and tools were in the car when it was stolen.

The items are worth approximately $1,930.


Police cited a UA student Thursday after they caught her stealing a textbook, reports stated.

A security guard at the UofA Bookstore, 1209 E. University Blvd., saw the student kneel on the floor for a few minutes while she tucked a microbiology book under her shirt, reports stated.

The security guard followed her out of the store and stopped her before calling police.

The student, 19, admitted to taking the book but said she had never done anything like that before, reports stated.

She was cited and released on suspicion of shoplifting less than $250, reports stated.


A UA student lost her wallet Wednesday at 2 p.m. in the UofA Bookstore, reports stated.

Employees at the bookstore reviewed security footage in an attempt to find out what happened to the woman's wallet. They didn't see anything suspicious, or notice the woman dropping a wallet, reports stated.

The student said the wallet contained a driver license, a CatCard, a bank card and $15, reports stated.

No unauthorized purchases or withdrawals have been made with her bank card.

There are no suspects and no witnesses.
