"Spider-Man" Thief Burgles Columbia

201102_spidey.jpg Staten Island has its ninja burglar (who may be back!) but Columbia now has a Spider-Man burglar. The Ivy, which has been much in the news of late, has seen its hallowed halls burgled at least four times in recent months by a crook who climbs the school's walls and enters through unlocked windows. So far he's taken a portable TV, a gym bag, a pen, and a laptop. On New Year's Eve he was caught on camera breaking a glass door before fleeing. FWIW, in the movies Spidey attends Columbia (in the comics he went to Empire State University).

    Columbia Students:

    You are not surrounded by an impenetrable Ivy League shield that protects you from the Boogie-Man. You're in Harlem, New York. Your shit WILL get jacked from time to time.

    He's hitting departments, not dorms.

    Must be townie. No Columbia student is athletic enough to do this.
