Let me say that if I were an instructor of any sort that rents a hall and pays to keep my stuff there I would in addition ask for a padlock for the closet that my stuff is in (assuming its only my stuff in said closet). Halls like this, I am assuming, are rented out for all types of occasions (parties, stags, ziti dinners, etc.). Knowing that a place I am keeping my valuables in is rented out nearly every weekend an extra lock for my area seems logical to keep it safe from week to week seeing as there are many others who also use the location.
I don\'t know anything about dance mirrors but the size Todd found for $500 or so seems about right. I could be wrong but I think there were three in the closet? That\'s about $1700 for a new set, and she\'s asking $1400 for one, which is a good deal to pay $300 out of pocket for a new set. . .
The question of who was there last is a key one, and did they definitely lock up. My assumption is that yes, they did lock up. While I don\'t think the dance lady "hired" someone to go in, I think she could have very well done it herself, assuming she has her own key to the hall. People picked up there cars the next morning and didn\'t notice anything. Not sure of the age of this lady, but it is unusual for alot of people to sleep past 8am even on the weekends. I think Igz said he picked his car up at 7. Maybe she is a church goer to 9am mass and went by at 8ish. Terry also said that it is claimed that the lights were left on, doors unlocked, and some trash and whatnot, even though he wasn\'t the last one at UAC he did say that the area in question was swept and cleaned before he left. Even if a few people and the band did stay later and partied some more, I find it hard to beleive that they would have made a mess doing so. Just an opinion from someone who wasn\'t there.
Drunken fools or dance lady trying to get some new gear; either way its a shitty situation that needs to be cleared up before Terry hand out any cash for the busted mirror.
