There was no sign of force entry, no broken doors, or broken locks.
And TSC campus police report that two laptops and an external hard drive were stolen at Gorgas Hall on the campus of the University of Texas at Brownsville and Texas Southmost College.
Yet, campus police could only confirm that the break in occurred in the office known as Commandant’s Quarters and office space recently occupied by TSC staff and house three offices.
What they did not admit to was that the break-in occurred after office of newly-hired Angelica M. Fuentes, previously with UTB, TSC's new dean of college preparatory studies. As the story goes, Fuentes and her staff were working late into the night Saturday to get set up and running and left late.
That was the opportunity someone was waiting for, apparently, and they entered the offices and ransacked its contents. Reminiscent of the alleged Clinton White House trashing of the White house offices prior to George W. Bush taking over, this had the same earmarks of a dirty-tricks trashing of the offices of the incoming administrator.

Reminiscent of the alleged Clinton White House trashing of the White house offices prior to George W.

"They went through the files and made a mess. They even used the toilets and didn't flush them, just leaving the mess there. It was nasty."
Campus police told the local daily that an advisory sent out to the campus community on Tuesday said the burglary occurred at the building.
Campus police Lt. Reynaldo Treviño said the crime was reported at 10 a.m. Tuesday but that the crime likely occurred between 2 and 3 a.m. But although police reported that a a window was also reported broken at the Arts Center on Sunday, but did not tell the local daily that there was no sign of forced entry, leading some at TSC to believe that vandals probably had a key to get in the building.
"The campus police are not coming clean with this," said a UTB-TSC staffer. "Whoever went in and made that mess could get in and out of there without having to break in."
Gorgas Hall is at the very center of the campus, next to the main library. How someone could have escaped the eagle-eyed vigilance of Treviño's crackerjack staff has not been determined.
