OK- Student C has now returned the costume to Students A & B, saying that he "found it" somewhere.

Now I am trying to decide whether to report this to the program director, since I happen to know he is getting a graduation prize and I am a little vindictive.

Sophia, I'd let it drop. You can't prove he took it. If he's getting a graduation prize, that means he's graduating and thus leaving and you won't have to deal with him anymore, right?

let it go Sophia, not worth it. Just give Student C the stink eye at all opportunities and/or possibly send him notes saying "I know what you did".

Today is being a giant pile of inefficiancies. I hates that. I want Ralph Stanley time. (note this does not bode well for me deciding to get rid of said puppy)

Maybe a not-so-muttered "If you weren't graduating and getting out of my hair . . ." in his and others presence would get across "I know what happened, and in other circumstances there'd be hell to pay."

It's a day I've put off for too long--I finally made the font size on my computer screen bigger. First I find myself muttering about the music "these kids" are listening too, now I'm having to make the words bigger so I can read them.

Can fogeyness be far away?

I hope Student C isn't leaving with more graduation "presents" like a picture off a wall or lab equipment.

I want Ralph Stanley time.

MR. Ralph Stanley!

Can we have more pictures of MR. Ralph Stanley?

I will let it go. But I don't wanna!

I will take more pictures tonight. why not.

Sophia,

if you don't want to let it go, you could be all passive aggressive nice threatening with the student in a private conversation.

"A person told me that you were thinking of taking the costume and I thought, since you were getting an award and so well thought of by the faculty here that you would never do such a thing. I am so glad you found the costume, right before I was going to call campus security and report the missing item to XXX. I wish you all the best in your future endeavors."
