The last one of these UD recalls involved a faculty member somewhere (can’t find the original article) who claimed someone stole his new computer.
Before giving him another one, the university checked recent footage from a security camera near his office. It showed the professor removing the computer from his office.
Oh, and there was another one. More recent. A University of South Florida professor was filmed stealing a bicycle.
Most recently (thanks, MattF, for the link) a University of Michigan post-doc was filmed sabotaging the experimental work of another student in a cancer research lab.
This page contains two photos of him. Look carefully, so you can see him coming.

It appears that grad students these days are taking the hooding ceremonies at graduation a little too literally.
