Would the person who removed the green feather boa from the rainbow bulletin board in the hallway by the gym lobby please return it?  I am glad the rainbow is being enjoyed by many, and that is the intention.  I do not appreciate an individual deciding to take what does not belong to them and ruin the display.  Please return the boa to the ticket booth ASAP - no questions asked.
