Why oh why doesn't this story include his modus operendus? I mean, HOW was he managing to do this? Was he finding piles of loot sitting on the tables of professors? WHAT?

he was a nicely dressed dude blending with the people at the Uni. we are not very safety conscious on the campus, and he was preying on people leaving their wallets for a moment, etc.
