While fingerprints have been taken and suspects have been identified, two weeks after 400 dollars worth of valuables were stolen from classrooms throughout Wood Hall, Detective Jacqueline Graf confirms that no arrests have been made. The robbery was committed sometime during the weekend of September 15, a weekend in which the building was open to students decorating the hall in celebration of homecoming and taking PSATs. The specific time of the robbery is unknown but according to Social Studies teacher Agusto Andres he was at Tamalpais High School after the students taking the Standard Aptitude Test had left and nothing had yet been stole.

Social studies teacher Jennifer Dolan, English teacher Mike Lavezzo and Andres were victims to the crime. , A Dell computer, iPod speakers, office equipment, a flat panel computer, a Hewlett Packard printer, LCD projector, law textbooks and an acoustic guitar were all stolen.

The specificity of the objects and their size indicates, according to Officer Matt Epstein, that the crime was premeditated and probably committed by more than one person. The fact that the original packaging was stolen also implies that the students planned to resell these objects but according to Andres they have not reappeared on either ebay.com or craigslist.com. The school has not offered to reimburse the teachers for these lost items.

While the police have not released the names of their suspects or their ages, Vice Principal John Berry said, ?I have a hunch that it was not a student.?

According to Berry, if caught the thieves will be charged with breaking and entering as well as theft. If they are students, they will be recommended for expulsion.
