Pumpkin Thief
So, I think I mentioned I was in a glassblowing class. In our last actual class we got to make a pumpkin. I made a pumpkin. My partner made a pumpkin. Mine was nicer.
I went to pick up my pumpkin the next day (they cool down in a furnace overnight) and it wasn't there. My partner's pumpkin was there, but not mine. After discussion with one of the TA's we agreed on the description of the guy who took my pumpkin (same colours as his) .
I emailed my partner and told him he must have accidently taken my pumpkin. He emailed back, apologised and said he would check on Monday morning. Monday night, no replacement pumpkin. I emailed him again Tuesday morning, told him I recognised his pumpkin as still being in the classroom and asked him to return my pumpkin.
No response from him today.
What to do now?
Thanks to the internal server I have his work address and his home address.
*cackle*
But really, I just want my pumpkin.

I don't remember a mention of a glassblowing class. How.freaking.cool. I say you go to the teacher and bring it to her attention. Especially now that you have proof.
Or you could just blow him up.
If you are still planning to leave Boston soon you could do some serious stalking and harrassing of the pumpkin switcher. By the time he gets a restraining order, you'll be gone.
No email today either.
I guess I should email him again and tell him I will contact the instructor (one problem is there were a lot of different instructors and a lot of time swapping on the part of the students, so there wasn't anyone really "in charge").
Then I'll stalk him. I really, really wanted this pumpkin. I wanted two things out of my time here, a prof job and to make a glass pumpkin.
He's so toast.
I hadn't realised it was one of your goals for your time in Boston to make a glass pumpkin.
And how rude of that guy! It's not just to get *any* pumpkin, you need *your* pumpkin! The one you blew your own sweet self.
I hope he didn't break it. Or give it to his girlfriend as "proof of love" and she really put out so now he can't say it wasn't actually his.
Either way - something needs to be blown up. And soon!
How rude. He's pathetic. I'd leave messages at home and at work so everyone knows that the pumpkin he is showing off isn't his. I'd leave a note by the furnace, too. I hope you get your pumpkin back.
I agree with Puffy. And with Momma. You should blow him up.
Sciencey peeps love glassblowing, don't they?
That is so bizzaro that he stole your pumpkin. Jackarse.
You should go photocopy pics of pumpkins with THIEF written on them and tape them to his door. :-)
So after my 3rd (or 4th) email to him (all polite-all referring to it being an accident), he responded and said he would drop it off this afternoon in the glasslab. I'm not sure if the glasslab is open this afternoon, but I'll worry aabout that later.
I could ask him to drop it off in my office, but it might be awkward.
I'm glad you'll (hopefully) finally get it back. At least he has definitely acknowledged that he has yours! What a moron! Now that he's had time to enjoy how much nicer yours is, he'll prolly really dislike his own. *snort*
