A woman's wallet was found at 5 p.m. Monday in the lobby of the Museum of Art, 1031 N. Olive Road, reports stated.

It appeared someone had gone through the wallet because there were no driver's license or credit cards, reports stated.

Police e-mailed the woman the case number and also told her the wallet had been placed into property for safekeeping, reports stated.


A Parking and Transportation Services employee discovered a stolen white van Tuesday morning parked on the first level of the Sixth Street Garage, 1201 E. Sixth St., reports stated.

Police were called to the scene, where they found the van had been reported stolen to Tucson Police Department, reports stated.

The van appeared to have been parked in the garage for a long period of time because of the dust that covered the vehicle, reports stated.

The steering column was reportedly unbroken and the door was locked.

The owner of the van was contacted and said he suspected his brother had taken it, reports stated.

The owner told police his brother had been arrested and was currently serving a 4-year jail sentence.

Police have no suspects or witnesses, reports stated.


Two $300 flat-screen computer monitors were taken from an office in the Main Library, 1510 E. University Blvd., reports stated.

A library employee escorted police to the office where the monitors were last seen, reports stated.

The door to the room was locked using an electronic keypad and only those in the office had the code, reports stated.

A graduate assistant reported last seeing the monitors at noon Jan. 20 when he checked his e-mail.

When he returned at 9:30 a.m. Monday, the monitors were gone, reports stated.

The library employee told police the custodians had keys to all the rooms. He also said there had been similar computer equipment thefts in the past 3 months and all were over the weekends, reports stated.

Police have no suspects or witnesses, reports stated.


Someone placed "Bush Step Down" stickers throughout the Ina E. Gittings building, 1713 E. University Blvd., reports stated.

An employee told police she had left the building at 5 p.m. Jan. 20 and when she returned on Monday at 8:30 a.m. she discovered the stickers.

The employee said the building had been open over the weekend because a science camp was using it, reports stated.

Police found stickers on the south steps leading to the second floor, a fire extinguisher box in the hallway and a chair by the south elevator, reports stated. The officer was able to remove the sticker on the steps.

The employee showed police rooms where the same stickers had been placed on televisions, clocks, tables, desks, overhead projectors, posters and chalkboards, reports stated.

The employee told police she would contact the custodial staff to come and remove the stickers, reports stated.

Police have no suspects or witnesses, reports stated.


A student's $100 front shocks were stolen from his bicycle sometime between Dec. 17 and Monday, reports stated.

The student said he locked his bike to the racks on Second Street and Mountain Avenue at noon Dec. 17.

When he returned Monday at 2:35 p.m. he discovered his shocks were missing, reports stated.

The student told police he had locked his bike in a way that made it "very difficult to steal," reports stated.

Police have no suspects or witnesses.
