LIVE UPDATES: Pro-Palestine Protesters Begin Encampment in Harvard Yard
The prompt action taken by an automobile mechanic employed by the Harvard Square Garage, yesterday put to flight the perpetrators of the first recorded attempt at captive balloon stealing.
The large yellow balloon, which has been floating lazily above the garage, was approached yesterday by several University students being initiated to a fraternity. The balloon had already been cut loose, and was, so it is reported, to be taken to the tower of Memorial Hall, when the prompt action of a mechanic foiled the blimp burglars. While he was getting help, the trespassers got rid of the evidence by the simple expedient of letting go of their prize. They made good their escape, and detectives employed by the Harvard Square Garage have failed to find any trace of either the balloon or the perpetrators of the outrage.
