‘String of Tampon machine thefts hit MSU’… Pun Intended?

‘String of Tampon machine thefts hit MSU’

A heavy flow of break-ins and thefts from feminine-hygiene dispensers across campus led MSU Police to launch an investigation.

A total of six break-ins and thefts were reported to MSU Police between June 1-12, amounting to at least $7.50 in stolen change, MSU police Sgt. Florene McGlothian-Taylor said. The incidents have targeted women’s restrooms in buildings across campus, including the Chemistry Building, Human Ecology Building and the Computer Center.

Thefts from feminine-hygiene dispensers have been spotty in the past, she said.

“I can’t recall a time (when) there have been numerous ones at one time,” she said. “Not those type of machines.”

Nutritional sciences senior Sheena Patel said a person who would steal from a tampon machine must be desperate or bored.
