ristan Driscoll woke up the morning of Sept. 24 to discover his backpack had been stolen out of his room while he was sleeping.
The backpack contained an iPod, math book and calculator, the first-year biomedical engineering student said.
Driscoll said that around 1:30 a.m., when he was laying in bed, someone knocked on his door.When Driscoll didn't answer, a man opened the door.
When Driscoll said, "Hey," the man said he was just checking for the time.
Now Driscoll wonders if it was someone like that, just checking someone's unlocked room, who may have stolen his backpack, which he left by the door.
Driscoll said there are signs all over Centennial Hall warning students to lock their rooms, but he and his roommate did so only when they weren't home.
