Burglarsransack8cars By Andrea Albright Kansan staff writer Lawrence police have no suspects in the eight automobile burglaries that occurred between Monday night and Tuesday morning in neighborhoods southeast of campus. Residents in the 1700 and 1800 blocks of Illinois, Alabama and Maine streets reported six burglaries overnight. Two were reported in the 2000 blocks of Ohio and Tennessee streets. Alejandro Lule, Guanajuato, Mexico, Applied English Center student, said he thought he had heard the gate in his back yard slam about 4:30 a.m. Ten minutes later, police arrived at his door to tell him his truck had been burglarized. "They took some money and all of my CDs," Lula said. "But I'm worried about the window — it's $200." Vehicle break-ins Police said they patrolled the area throughout the night. One officer investigated three of the incidents because of their proximity. Lawrence Police Sgt. Susan Hadl said investigators were looking for one person or one group of people. "Due to the similarity and general vicinity, it's safe to assume they were done on a spree by the same people." Hadl said. Amy Pettle, 1983 KU graduate, said she always locked her car. Monday, however, when she returned from the airport, her hands were too full A rash of burglaries struck eight cars Monday night and Tuesday morning, Lawrence police reported. All of the vehicles were parked in a neighborhood adjoining the KU campus. Police said the crimes may be related. SOURCE: Lawrence Police Department Andy Rohrback/KANSAN to lock the doors. "I thought 'Why bother?'" Pettle said. "I'd never had any trouble before." Because her car was unlocked, no windows were broken. The burglarrs ransacked her car, took the cigarette lighter and burned some papers from the glove box, causing about $75 damage to the console area. Hadl said cars parked on the street could be more vulnerable to burglaries. "It's quicker because they have easier access," Hadl said. "If they have a vehicle right there, they can just drive away." Hadl said that cars parked off the street also could be burglarized but that cars parked on a dark street were more enticing to criminals. "If you can park in front of your house, attempt to have some lighting on your car," Hadl said. "Cars seem to be more vulnerable on the street." Election --the future for politics on the web looked bright. Continued from Page 1. as an advertising medium. right now I'm on a couple of news groups," Swall said. home pages will already have decided who to vote for." While Loomis said that the Internet's effects on the election were uncertain, Forrest Swall, Douglas County Democratic chairman, said Collier said that the Internet would be useful in the future to politicians In the future, Swall said, more people would use the Internet to obtain political information just as they used it for other information today. "True, it won't reach a lot of people and persuade them to change their minds," Collier said. "An ad that is supposed to change the minds of a large group of people won't work. But even if it persuades a few thousand at $20 a month, it's a bargain compared to TV. More candidates will use it for that reason."
