In a separate e-mail to The Crimson, Ware added that there have been no other recent incidents of crime at Cabot House.
McNamara said the door’s lock, which has already been replaced, appeared to have been forced in.
The HUDS convenience store itself is secured by more than one lock and is also well-lit, unlike the storeroom, Auterio said.
The storeroom holds about $100 worth of merchandise, although nowhere near that amount was taken.
Despite the theft, the convenience store will remain open on its regular schedule from 6 p.m. to midnight, Auterio said. He said students have requested that HUDS extend the store’s hours to 2 a.m., a move which might prevent future break-ins.
In a likely unrelated incident, McNamara said that HUPD was investigating two larcenies at Pforzheimer House over the weekend in which a purse and cash were stolen. Police have no leads on the Pforzheimer thefts either, which occurred at a University-authorized party.
