But I can't stand this -- there are so many thieves in Cromem now!! First it was xxxx kitchen, now even laundry room. I did laundry this afternoon and just realized that I lost some stuffs -- one blue t-shirt and one blue 3/4 sleeve sweater. Seems like this thief really likes blue. Also one or two of my stuffs from a load were put in another load, which confirms that someone touched my clothes. What's even more disgusting was that I found someone else's socks in one of my loads, while I checked the washing/drying machines before putting in my own things. This reminds me of similar stories happened in the kitchen with someone's milk being mixed with some unknown disgusting items. Whoever the thief is, stop doing this!

As another CA, I urge all users of the kitchen and laundry to lock the doors after we walk out. Anyone who passes those places and sees the doors open also has the responsibility to close it. Please don't be lazy for our convenience and risk the security of others. It is very selfish. We should excel in social responsibility if we want to claim that we are qualified Stanford students. What a shame if you know people from schools with less reputation told you that they never encountered such embarrassing things again and again in their schools. Maybe we can not persuade the thief to give up, but we have no excuse to escape from what we should and could do. Thank every Cromemer for cooperating on this.

Hi there, Just a follow-up of my previous email. Some people suggested that I might be mistaken. But given all the facts I listed before, plus now I realized that I actually lost 5 more pieces including a sleepwear -- that's 7 in total already, everything is so clear. Actually I'm not even sure whether this number is gonna go up again or not. The more I think, the more I find missing. I don't even want to think about it anymore. I don't understand why people would even take sleepwears. Our housing assistant suggestioned that I filed a police report but I thought I'd just let it go. Now think about it I guess it at least helps preventing further thefts, so I just filed one. Yes I did, a police report. As a CA in this hall, I'm really sorry that this might give bad impressions to people who just moved in. But please please be careful about your personal belongings. People told me they lost stuffs they put outside their rooms. I hope this is the end and we'll all have a peaceful and happy school year.

In the laundry room, a handful of residents have left their laundry to dry and when they returned, items of clothing were missing. It may be a genuine mistake - in that case, please return the clothes to the laundry room. If not, I would like to remind you that Stanford students are expected to adhere to a "fundamental standard" which is linked to the Honor system. Stealing causes a break in trust and spoils the residential experience. Be respectful of others. If this stealing continues, we will be forced to take strong action to deter/catch the concerned person(s).

Furthermore, the clothes that I did find, were mixed with someone else's clothes in a dryer that I had not used to do my laundry. Next time, please don't do the favor of mixing the clothes with someone else's clothes in another dryer. If you really need to use that machine, just leave the clothes outside. I will really appreciate that, and I am sure other people will too. I have already put a note on the laundry room door regarding my missing clothes, but have not received them back as yet. With that said, I guess I would like to make this request one more time. If you took my clothes by mistake, I will really appreciate it if you could return them back to the laundry room. If not, then next time can you please leave a note saying that it's stolen, so that I don't have to go through the hassle of emailing, sticking a note on the laundry room door, and spend time expecting to get them back. xxxx Date: Sat, 23 Oct 2004 06:54:36 -0700 From: xxxx To: xxxx Subject: steel vessel stolen from kitchen hi guys, Between ~9 pm yesterday and 6 am today, someone took my flat bottomed steel vessel from the kitchen, near the sink next to the kitchen door.

I don't think I'd be able to maintain as much tact were I to find myself in a similar situation. Because in addition to performing the act of "F." on the parents of the thief, I'd recommend it be performed on all the pets and animals in the family's household as well. It's been a very unusual quarter with the thefts and all, so I'd like to issue a warning to the thief: DON'T MESS WITH FOREIGN STUDENTS! Have you seen xxxx? Very nice guy, right? Did you also know that his hand grip can exceed 1000 pounds of force AND that he knows kung-fu, karate, and the ancient art of the five-point-palm-exploding-heart technique. Now, can you even begin to fathom the wrath that would befall the sneaky perp were he to be caught by xxxx in the act??? I sure can't, nor do I want to. One thing for sure - it wouldn't be pretty. Then there's the Indians... Now, if you were to steal something from an Indian, what would happen? Probably nothing... if you are a cow. If you aren't, things aren't so cheery. Ever heard of Veerappan? The savage bandit who roamed the south Indian jungle for many years? He is dead now, but his gang is still on the loose. xxxx has contacts. Enough said. If you wanted to steal from xxxx... now that's just plain stupid. The guy who took his soccer cleats last year was found several days later in a ditch. Reportedly, he died from a mutated strain of the athlete's foot virus, which turned out to be lethal. xxxx is the only one who is immune - to everyone else, it's deadly. The point is, there are many different cultures in this dorm, and some of them have very peculiar (at least by American standards) ways of dealing with S. like the S. that's been going on in the dorm recently. So, while you'd expect a normal person to go to the authorities, file a police report, do the paperwork, la-la-la, yada-yada-yada... a foreign student may just come to your room and give you a bulgaki-dook - a traditional Azibasky punishment of thieves consisting of (please forgive the graphic violence) biting off the fingers on the thief's right hand and making a stew out of them. And one last thing - the Russians. If we catch you, we won't beat you, we won't kick you, we won't curse you... we'll just get you silly drunk, fly you to Siberia and drop you off in a bear hole during their mating season. Then, you will have something a little more precious than a can opener taken away from you... yes, your xxxx. So is this email too non-p.c.? I tried to portray all cultures fairly - please forgive me if yours wasn't represented! And as xxxx said (well, almost) - F. you in the A. you F.

Santa Claus, Rudolph or Kwanza must have placed it there in the spirit of the holiday season. After spending a few painstaking hours studying and playing solitaire on my computer I decided to take a study break and have a snack. The candy cane looked very attractive with its red stripes and voluptuous curve. I proceeded to cautiously taste the candy cane with the tip of the tongue. After all Smokey the bear says you should never take candy from strangers, especially on an empty stomach. It had a sweet peppermint flavor much like any other candy cane. After it passed the Pepsi challenge taste test I continued to enjoy every C2x H4x O2x which composed the object of my affection. I returned to my studies with new vigor. Before I knew it I fell to the floor and felt very numb. Everything became very fuzzy at that point. Some sort of elven like creatures entered my room and put my body into pretzel like positions. The whole process was very painless because of my inhibited state. Any ways I woke up with red stripes all over my body. DO NOT EAT THE CANDY CANES. CANDY CANE=BAD.

I tried pushing other buttons to restart the cycle (which does nothing), unplugging the washer (which merely makes it resume where it left off when you re-plug it in), and pushing the mysterious button on the back of the washer. You are welcome to try a similar experiment yourself. In short, if you start the washing machine, wait 3 minutes, then come back before the cycle is finished, no one will be able to steal your clothes. -xxxx Date: Sun, 29 May 2005 15:21:07 -0700 From: xxxx xxxx xxxx To: xxxx, xxxx xxxx Cc: xxxx xxxx Subject: Re: Washing machine - supposidly chewing clothes?

It works for the washing machines, but not for the drying machines. You can open the door of a drying machine any time during the cycle. I had some of my laundry taken a week ago, when they were in the drying machine. Also, it seems like it's always girls' stuffs that get stolen. Who does this -- a girl or a guy? Andy -- this is getting worse and worse. Is there anything the housing office could do to stop this? This is really really unpleasant!

You are right that the washing machine doors lock themselves approximately 3 minutes after the cycle starts. But this means it is POSSIBLE to steal laundry from a washing machine before the door gets locked. The moment I reentered the laundry room, the washing machine was idle, and the control panel indicated "restart cycle". Thanks for your email xxxx. The fact that the door locks itself after 3 minutes at least assures us that we don't have to watch the machine running from the start to the end.

OK, the loss is also somewhat my fault ... but that's not important. A Brief History of Chinese Philosophy by Fung Yu-Lan This scientific text was last spotted in the men's bathroom next to the Cromem kitchen, sunbathing by the windowsill for at least a week. It's understandable if you thought the book belonged to no one. If you happen to have it, please return it to Room 666, and I'll reward you with two nutritious and delicious granola bars covered with slow-roasted peanuts and smothered in a sugary brown peanut butter coating. If I'm not there, just leave the book outside my door and I'll feed you later. In the sadly probable event that you stole it intentionally, just read it. Hopefully you will eventually find it highly ironic and disturbing to have stolen such a morally unshakable text. You can steal our groceries, spoons, apples, cleats, bikes, futons, shampoo, pillowcases, sweaters, shirts, socks, pots, pans, lingerie and trash cans, but once you even start stealing our philosophies, I'm sorry but that's just totally fucking ridiculous.

It happened multiple times for me that I realized my shampoo is used. Like One day I came and my shampoo was in another location (not my regular) or 3-4 times it was wet when I came to take shower. So either someone wash it or used it. I think it's really inappropriate. I have come across some students that think others are dumb or others are easy to pass over. I just wanted to say that I think the student that steal something from kitchen or uses someone else's shampoo is either too lazy to go shopping or don't understand how to respect others' rights. In any case I hope they realize sooner. Otherwise, as these kinds of reports increase, as a CA of your residential we would think of some mechanisms to identify such residents.

It bounced back. I was so nostalgic when I saw the site. Please pass on my good wishes to the current residents. Hi, I discovered the website when I googled Cromem. I lived in Cromem 1985-1987 and was an RA (resident advisor--a precursor to CA) 1986-87. I knew Cool Ray personally. He would be thrilled to know his name lives on. The most famous story about Cool Ray, however, is the night he rollerskated in the nude out on the basketball court and over to Encina Hall that, at that time, had a small cafe. He skated right up to the counter and ordered french fries. He was also famous for yelling at the top of his lungs "xxxx sucks!" He lived there until he got his PhD. He is now a respectable engineer in Seattle working for Boeing. He is married to a woman who lived briefly in xxxx. She is now a doctor. I enjoyed my time at Cromem. I met my husband there. There are lots of marriages among Cromem residents. Is there still a rivalry between Cromem and Crothers Memorial? I remember the year we had a party out on the grass with a live band. We had cleared it with the RAs at Crothers and even invited them to attend. It turned out, however, that it was during the law students' finals week. They were not happy and somehow had the sprinklers turned on during the party. Things escalated from there and license The slogan for Cromem when I lived there was "xxxx: Where the Nerd World Meets the Third World" or "xxxx: The Leper Colony." Go Stanford!
