Oh, great! Let's reinforce the image of the rich Duke students who can afford to leave 5 grand lying around...... I have a hard time believing this one. I say something happened to the money (she blew it or lost it) and had to tell mom and dad something..... That's not to say that thefts don't happen on campus, they do. There's just something weird about this one.
"That's not to say that thefts don't happen on campus, they do."
I'm assuming no one can get into the dorm without a dorm card? So it's literally an "inside" job?
And what student ever carries $5000 cash? Haven't they heard of credit cards? What specifically would they need that much CASH for?
