You know, if these room-temp IQ burglars just read the paper, they would understand that this is not a good idea.

. . . and the beat goes on.

What did he expect to steal from a SCHOOL, anyway?

I hope none of those kids watched the Simpsons season finale on Sunday as several characters not seen in a while where shown dead in the air ducts. Including Lisa’s teacher and that German kid who I thought was eaten during one of the Halloween specials.

Twenty-five years ago, we tired of burglars entering through the roof HVAC ducts. We adopted the simple expedient of retrofitting our ducts with re-bars. Solved the problem, cheaply and permanently.

That's giving them more credit than they deserve. Room temp is too high. Ice cube would about do it.

Computers.

That's not too unusual in the vast majority of schools I've ever been in.
