Two brothers were arrested Tuesday after they allegedly stole a speaker from a parked car at East Seventh Street and North Vine Avenue.
An off-duty university police officer saw the two Tucson boys, ages 15 and 16, take a speaker from the back of a Jeep Wrangler.
University police caught up with the boys in the alley behind the Circle K at East Sixth Street and North Cherry Avenue. The boys dropped the speaker and ran north. They were caught as they tried to climb the fence at Sancet Field.
Both of the boys were already on probation. They were booked into Pima County Juvenile Court Center on charges of third degree burglary.
The speaker was valued at $250 and returned to its rightful owner.

An obscene letter was sent to a female employee of the Arizona Cancer Center, 1515 N. Campbell Ave.
The employee received the unsigned, profane letter Monday at 2 p.m. She thought it was written by a recently fired temporary employee.
The temporary employee was fired Oct. 2 because she was not producing enough work, the employee told university police.
The temporary employee was told to keep her door open while she worked just before she was fired, the employee told police, and the letter made a comment about that incident.

A student who reported his wallet lost Wednesday could now be charged with forgery after a false ID was found in the wallet.
The student left his wallet in the Park Student Union, 615 N. Park Ave., at 5:30 p.m. He noticed his wallet missing about 5:50 p.m. and reported the loss to university police.
A resident assistant in the student's residence hall found the wallet. The RA found a Maryland and a New Hampshire identification with different birth dates and reported the wallet to police.
A computer check showed no record of the New Hampshire identification.
When the student picked up the wallet about 8 p.m., police confronted him about the identification.
The student said he and a friend had bought cards at a Fun Photo store in New Hampshire. He said he had paid $75 for his card.
The student admitted to using the card to buy alcohol. He told police that he had tried to use it to get into a nightclub, but the door man refused him entry. He told the student it was a "bad fake," but did not confiscate the card.
The identification was placed into evidence. The student was not cited pending review of the case by the Pima County Attorney's office.

Part of a roof access door was found damaged Wednesday in the Gould-Simpson building, 1040 E. Fourth St.
A female employee found the damage on the building's 12th floor at 8 a.m.
A metal plate that covers the door's latch had been bent outwards. Once the latch is exposed, any key can be used to open the door, according to police reports.
Facilities Management was called to repair the damage. The value of the damage was unknown.

A car drove through the exit gate at a campus parking lot Tuesday night.
A male student told police he saw a dark sedan drive through the gate near the Anthropology building, 1110 E. South Campus Drive, at 10 p.m. The car then drove south down North Park Avenue.
University police found no paint transfer between the car and the foam-covered underside of the gate.
The arm was left at the scene and Parking and Transportation Services was notified of the damage.

Three hundred dollars disappeared Monday from the Babcock office building, 1717 E. Speedway Blvd.
A female employee put $900 in an envelope before she left for work at 7 a.m. She needed the money to pick up her car from a repair shop.
The employee said she left the envelope in her purse in her office. At 3 p.m., the envelope was still untouched.
The employee went to Pep Boys at 4 p.m. and found she was $300 short.
A male employee in the building told university police both maintenance and temporary employees have keys to the room, but no one suspected anyone in the building.
