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."
Lorne: Once the word spreads you beat up an innocent old man, well, the truly terrible will think twice before going toe-to-toe with our Avenging Angel. Spike: Yes. The geriatric community will be soiling their nappies when they hear you're on the case. Bravo.

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.

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

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."

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?
Still sick. Face still hurts. Want meds to kick in please.
That is me.
I don't think Kathy A. is on FB.
And this is also true.

What le nubian said--I might even add in something about how much the costume is worth. Is there any option that he could BUY it, since you said it's not something they'd use much? "So glad you found it, I know you like that costume--if you're interested in purchasing it, we could probably let you have it for $400--unfortunately that's about how much it would cost to replace given the fabric and time involved" or something.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
That is me.
Poor Chikat! Maybe we can stick a steam hose down your nose and blast everything loose but your fillings and your brain pan.
