Yea, saw that yesterday. It's been returned and a student has been "charged" with taking it.

If they do anything more then give him a stern talking to about safety then I'll be pretty miffed. Tech liked to talk up stealing the T as one of their traditions, but when someone actually pulls it off (which isn't an easy feat) the administration has a shit fit.

Pretty impressive, that T would have to be 8' tall or something?

According to Tech's "History and Traditions" webpage they are "only" five feet tall.

The Tech Tower

The most recognizable landmark at Georgia Tech is the Tech Tower, atop the oldest building on campus, where five-foot-tall letters spell TECH. More than a century ago, before Tech graduates helped assemble Atlanta’s modern skyline, two towers dominated the campus landscape. The second tower burned in 1892 and was never replaced.
The “T” was originally stolen from the Tech Tower by a group of students who wanted to present it to retiring President Dr. Edwin Harrison for guiding Tech peacefully through the turbulence of the 1960s and the desegregation of campus. Since the tradition of T-napping only refers to the Tech Tower “T,” the Student Government Association started a new campaign—Keep the “T” in Tech—to remind students of the tradition’s origin and to encourage students to respect the property and signage across Tech’s camps. http://deanofstudents.gatech.edu/studenthandbook/plugins/content/index.php?id=24

Still no small feat considering they are not easy to get and once you get there you have to get the thing off the building and down the tower in one piece without being caught.
