University of Otago accounting and economics student Josiah Nelson said his Dundas St flat was first broken into last Friday night, when his flatmate had his computer with ''all his medical school notes'' stolen.
The following Sunday night, a burglar again entered the flat at the corner of Harbour Tce, this time taking a television, speaker and laptop.
The 21-year-old said a window was jemmied open to gain entry. No-one was home during either burglary.
Yesterday, he called police after hearing the sound of bottles being broken around the back of his flat. When officers arrived they discovered the noise had been made by a contractor sent to mow the flat's lawns.
Mr Nelson said it ''just doesn't feel good'' to be the subject of the burglaries, and urged students to secure their properties.
He said if the burglar had committed the crimes out of sheer need, he and his flatmates would have been willing to help out by providing a meal.
''We're the kind of guys who would just have invited him in for a feed.''
Last week, police warned Dunedin residents to lock their doors after burglars made short work of four unsecured properties the previous weekend.
