A banner hung on the east side of Lockett Hall reading “Welcome Back Students” was allegedly stolen this week, prompting LSU Mathematics to call for its return.

The banner was put up around a week before students returned for classes, according to Soula O’Bannon, LSU’s Department of Mathematics’ undergraduate program manager. O’Bannon has filed a police report and requests the alleged thief return the banner to one of Lockett’s doors, addressed to “Ms. Soula, 301 B Lockett.”

This isn’t the first time one of the building’s banners has gone missing. In 2017, a banner hung to celebrate Pi Day was taken. It was returned in a few days with a note saying, “Sorry for taking the sign.”

O’Bannon said the banners are valued at $250 to $300 each.
