Letter to phone camera thief from a UNC parent

TO THE EDITOR:

I'm writing on Martin Luther King Day the day before a new president is inaugurated. It should be a time of hope.

But a coatroom pick-pocketing that my daughter experienced this weekend has stolen some of that hope from my daughter a student at UNC and me.

She lost a camera a phone and her student ID. She gained lots of hassle and lost time in replacing these items.

To the thief: You might really need the money for something essential and not know how to get help. But theft isn't the solution.

At this time when we should be filled with hope and a spirit of working together you reminded all of us that there are people who do not believe in the Honor Code who do not care that they steal trust and hope from others.

Please return the phone and the camera and any other items of value that you took to the Chapel Hill police.

Restore my trust in a better world coming.
