A shattered mind in a broken body fighting for survival

You know you go to a Christian College When...

The majority of people leave their rooms unlocked. Not only do people leave their rooms unlocked, but we all know that everyone leaves their rooms unlocked. Have you ever walked out your front door without a way to lock it, and though, "I'll be back in just a few minutes, and no one will expect my front door to be open, so it should be fine." But a crucial element in justifying the risk is the ignorance of others. However, if people are not ignorant about your unlocked door, is it still wise to take that risk? No. Of course not. But stealing is wrong, right? So, it must be alright to leave our doors unlocked. Oh, and at Christian Colleges, we have this thing called chapel several times a week. The greater majority of the student body attends chapel on a regular basis. Which means that the dorms are almost completely empty for an hour and a half three times a week. Does it still seem like a good idea to leave our doors unlocked? Of course. Who would steal anything when everyone is at chapel? That's just...wrong. Unfortunately, someone finally took advantage of people's trusting natures. This week, several laptops were stolen from unlocked dorm rooms during chapel. But don't worry. Security is looking into the matter. They sent around an email, and one of the last lines of the email went like this: "Please pray with us for repentance of the suspect and for the Lord to uncover this sin through our investigation." 




Basically, they have no idea who did it, but if that person wants to turn himself in, then security would appreciate it. Also, LOCK YOUR DOOR. (especially if no one is going to be around)

EDIT: After holding onto the laptops for three days, the thief turned himself and the computers in.
