A 35-year-old male student reported his laptop computer and backpack missing after he left the items behind with classmates Saturday evening in the basement of the Main Library, MSU police Sgt. Florene McGlothian-Taylor said.
The classmates reported seeing a 5-foot-9 black male, who appeared to be in his 20s, wearing a gray sweatshirt near the student’s belongings, but assumed the student knew the man. However, the witnesses did not report seeing the man leave with the laptop and backpack, which contained the student’s passport, McGlothian-Taylor said.
The Hewlett-Packard laptop was valued at $1,200, the passport was estimated to be worth $60 and the backpack was valued at $20, McGlothian-Taylor said.
The incident is under investigation.
