District has been plagued by technology thefts

From The Philadelphia Inquirer: Sixty computers worth about $80,000 have been stolen from a Philadelphia high school, district officials say. Surveillance video showed three males in masks and gloves entering West Philadelphia High School at 1:50 a.m. Monday. The theft wasn't reported until 6:50 a.m., and officials are looking into why it appears no alarm was triggered. The robbery was one in a string that has plagued the district, which has lost hundreds of thousand of dollars in technology to thieves
