Unique and outrageous late excuses can sometimes be true and lead to incredible stories. One student was late due to his safe being stolen, which housed his laptop with an important term paper. This student, alongside his cousin, embarked on a very personal quest to retrieve the stolen safe, facing numerous challenges, including threats and confrontations tied to their wartime experiences. They eventually found the culprit after a gripping search that exemplified their determination and willingness to confront danger to recover personal belongings like wedding rings and cash.
One year, a good student showed up without one of his major term papers. He explained his safe had been stolen by a contractor who was working on their house.
The student and his cousin were both recently back from tours in Iraq and had seen combat experience. They wanted to find the guy to beat the heck out of him and get the safe back.
After a little while, he came to my office hours very happy, and he reported that he found the guy after a long search that involved breaking into a meth den.
He said they found the wedding ring as well as a bunch of cash.
