Three freshmen reported that their laptops were stolen from the Madison Hall room they share last week.
The students said a person had entered their room and taken two Macbook Pros and one Macbook Air, which cost about $1,000 each. Their laptop chargers were also missing.
None of the roommates were home at the time of the alleged burglary, and the suspect did not enter the room by force, according to a Metropolitan Police Department report. The case remains open.
Security guards are stationed at Madison Hall between 7 p.m. and 2 a.m., the students said.
The University recorded 20 burglaries in 2012, the latest data available, which was down from 39 the year before and 75 in 2010.
