San Jose City College is paying approximately $4,000 per year to replace toilet paper rolls stolen from campus restrooms.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe pay about $125 per week to replace stolen toilet paper during the semester,\u201d Facilities Manager Joe Andrade said.<\/p>\n

Each case of toilet paper costs $25.56, and there are 12 jumbo rolls per case.\u00a0 Approximately five cases, or 60 rolls of toilet paper, are stolen on campus each week.<\/p>\n

Andrade said he often receives word from custodians that say they returned to a recently restocked restroom within 15 to 20 minutes to find that rolls were missing.<\/p>\n

Custodian Oscar Ramirez wrote in a text message on Friday that more thefts had occurred.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere were 10 new rolls of toilet paper stolen from GE building, five in the second floor and five in the first floor,\u201d Ramirez wrote.<\/p>\n

Andrade said there is not enough manpower to police all the restrooms, and no one has been seen or caught stealing. Some restrooms will therefore remain locked in certain areas of the campus.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe know there are not classes going on in certain parts of the campus, so we just shut down the bathrooms,” Andrade said.\u00a0\u201cThere was one Friday where we had 24 rolls missing in one day. After that happened, I said, \u2018OK, we\u2019re going to start shutting down certain areas, certain bathrooms and just keep them locked.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n

There are also plans to replace the current dispensers, which are easily unlocked, with a more secure model by the fall semester.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur plan … is to go with a sturdier toilet paper dispenser,\u201d Andrade said.\u00a0\u201cWe\u2019re looking to go with an actual key dispenser with a locking mechanism where the cover overlaps.\u201d<\/p>\n

Andrade said the campus police are aware of the thefts, but despite the jumbo size of the rolls, no one has been apprehended.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have told the police in past instances, and they\u2019ve done some preventative measures,\u201d Andrade said. \u201cIt was a few years back when this was happening. I think they isolated it down to a certain area of the campus, and they had an officer in the area.\u201d<\/p>\n

The individual rolls are huge and not easily concealed, but no one has been seen stealing them. Andrade said he is sure the toilet paper is being stolen, though.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe know it\u2019s missing,\u201d Andrade said. \u201cThere is a core. When the toilet paper runs out, the core stays behind. When it\u2019s missing, the core is gone. That\u2019s how we know.\u201d<\/p>\n

Efforts to reach campus police for comments were unsuccessful.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
