Todd Townsend, a senior bioen-
vironmental science major, said
the organizations are promoting
the need for housing and helping
Habitat for Humanity raise funds.
“We’ve made about $2,000 from
bids on the shacks," Townsend
said. “Our goal is to raise $30,000
this year, the amount needed to
start a new house.”
The A&M chapter is not cur
rently building a house, but is
concentrating on fund raising
until August.
They began building a house
on Luther Street last fall and
completed it in June with the
Burglars
Continued from Page 1
Lt. Scott McCollum, public
information officer for CSPD,
said preventing car burglaries
is simple.
“The main thing is to elimi
nate the opportunity for a crim
inal to make you the victim,”
McCollum said. “If I walk past
10 cars, in seven of them I will
find a purse, or a radar detector,
or stereo equipment. Some of
these cars are even unlocked.
The best prevention is having
common sense. You need to
hide anything of value under
the seat or in the trunk.
“If criminals don’t see anything
in your car, chances are they’ll
pass to the next car,” he said.
McCollum said night clubs
and apartment complexes are
other hot spots for car burglar
ies to occur. He said criminals
tend to break car vent windows
because they are smaller and
not as noticeable to officers
patrolling the area.
Car alarms are helpful, Mc
Collum said, but will not al
ways stop a criminal.
“An alarm is a step in the right
direction,” McCollum said. “But
they are not a cure-all for com
mon sense ... If he (the burglar)
sees something of value that he
wants, he’s going to get it.”
McCollum said alarms are
helpful because car burglars
have “a wealth of pickings,”
and will most likely burglarize

“We could start construction
in January on a new house, but
we would have a hard time get
ting everyone coordinated,”
McKeon said. “So we’ll break
ground in August.”
Many students do not realize
the families the houses are built
for invest time and labor in the
construction of their house and
others, she said. ■
“Most families put in at least 200
hours of work before construction
even begins, and participate all
through the process,” McKeon said.
The family buys the house at-
cost from Habitat with an interest-
free mortgage.
Before construction begins,
Habitat will assist the Bryan-Col-
a car without an alarm.
Wiatt and McCollum both
said patrolling officers are usu
ally the first ones to notice if a
car has been burglarized.
Kevin Henrichson, a senior fi
nance major, was almost a vic
tim of car burglary. He said when
the perpetrator broke the front
passenger window of his Isuzu
Trooper at his College Station
duplex, the alarm went off and
scared the suspect away.
Although it cost Henrichson
around $150 to replace his
window, his stereo equipment,
radar detector and other items
were left alone.
“I found the officers to be very
professional,” Henrichson said.
“They were already patrolling
the area looking for cars that had
been broken into.”
Henrichson said he did not
expect the police to solve the
crime.
“I pretty much felt helpless,”
he said. “And I felt like they
were helpless too. [Car bur
glary] is a pretty big problem in
this town and the police al
most just accept that there’s
little they can do about it.”
Car stereos, Henrichson said,
are abundant in College Station
and that draw criminals.
“There are a lot of nice stere
os in this town because music is
pretty important to college
kids,” he said. “It’s (car bur
glary) such a big business in
this town, that businesses actu
ally come to your car to replace
a window. It’s pathetic.”
