iPod Problems: Mass Theft; Family Fight

Sleepy Hollow and Tarrytown police responded to several iPod-related calls last week: one apparent mass theft of many devices from Morse School and one bad sibling fight.

Two cases of iPod problems graced the police blotters in Tarrytown and Sleepy Hollow.

Sibling Device Dispute:

An anonymous caller reported to Tarrytown Police a possible domestic assault at his neighbor’s apartment on Crescent Drive on Oct. 6 at 11:39 p.m. Officers on the scene reported hearing shouting from inside the apartment. They described the adults within as uncooperative, refusing to give any personal information and screaming at the officers to get out of their house.

Later the officers reported the situation was under control: the adults identified themselves and the dispute was apparently between a juvenile brother and sister over the use of an iPod.

Many Possibly Stolen School iPods:

An apparent robbery from the end of the school year was just discovered, as a Morse administrative assistant reported on behalf of the principal that 21 iPods were missing from the school. The devices were located in a lock box on the second floor of the school and were noticed to be missing on Oct. 4. Apparently only teachers had access to the box, no students, school officials said. The last time the iPods were seen was sometime in June.

The case, said Sleepy Hollow Lieutenant Anthony Bueti, is under investigation. Police have a list of 20 people who had access to the lock box. Bueti said the iPods were used for teaching purposes.

A big part of the problem is that the teachers' expectations about what supplies are necessary haveRead More become so extreme. When my kids were in school in Tarrytown, we would get a list at the beginning of every school year of the supplies we needed to buy. The parents were asked to buy a separate looseleaf binder for every single class our kids were taking and, for some classes, they asked for a looseleaf AND a spiral notebook. When I was in school, each kid had ONE looseleaf and we separated classes with dividers. Having SIX or seven loose leafs adds to backpack weight and costs a lot of money. My kids supply bills were often close to $100 apiece. The teachers have bought into this idea that all of these supplies are necessary and they are not. I'm not surprised that Staples is offering "rewards programs." Their advertising and marketing efforts have convinced the teachers that you must have a package of 12 red correcting pens, per child.
