After a series of incidents involving cars and Quarry Pond, Campus Safety, alongside the Gettysburg Police, dredged the pond in search of some sort of explanation. Needless to say, the officers were shocked to find a massive magnet located at the bottom of Quarry Pond.
“I definitely didn’t expect for there to be a magnet at the bottom of that body of water,” said Executive Director of Campus Safety Alex Wiltz, “but I now understand why so many cars have been attracted to that area.”
Gettysburg Chief of Police, Robert Glenny Jr., is considering next steps. “I don’t know how this magnet has only attracted the cars of local townspeople, and we’re stumped about how it ended up there. We’re currently looking for methods of removing this magnet, but every tow truck we bring in ends up being sucked into the pond.”
Campus Safety has issued a statement asking all students to carry on as normal but to be particularly cautious around vehicles in the Quarry area.
