The exams in question are from the faculties of Economics and Business Administration, Law and Criminological Sciences and Letters of KU Leuven campus Kortrijk. On Saturday 24 June, the exams sessions took place in both the morning and afternoon, but only the exams sat in the morning were stolen.
The professor was at the railway station in Sint-Niklaas when he was robbed of his bag, which contained the exams. The professor tried to stop the thief, but could not prevent him from escaping with the bag. There is currently no trace of the papers or the thief.
