Associated Students Inc. President John Haberstroh and Vice President Jonathon Bolin said Monday they will reward $200 for any information leading to the whereabouts of the more than 30 campaign posters that were stolen from the Cal State Long Beach campus.
The posters were stolen from March 11 to March 21, Bolin said.
“[The reward is] definitely serious,” Bolin said. “We’re looking for whoever stole our 30 posters.”
Bolin said that students with information about the missing posters can email johnandjoncsulb@gmail.com. To receive the reward, an individual would have to provide information leading to the missing posters or the person who stole them, according to Bolin. The individual would also have to testify in person.
Some students said they were intrigued by the reward.
“That money sure would be nice,” Thomas Rubiano, a freshman political science major, said. “I hope I find info.”
Other students said they were upset that campaign posters were stolen at all.
“It’s just wrong. You have to win fair and square,” Alex Garcia, a sophomore engineering major, said.
So far, Bolin said no leads have been submitted. Bolin and Haberstroh have not filed a report with the University Police about the missing posters.
Bolin said it is unlikely that the poster thief is someone from an opposing ASI campaign because that would be grounds for election disqualification.
“I don’t think anyone’s that stupid,” Bolin said. “I hope we find the people who did it, but I don’t think we will.”
Haberstroh and Bolin are up for re-election in the ASI election runoffs. Online voting will take place from Tuesday to Thursday. The results will be announced on Friday at the University Student Union Southwest Terrace.
