I guess I'm a softie, but if I had the PINs with me, I'd give it to the
student.  Sure, the request is evident of poor planning and is maybe a
little immature, but we've all done things like that.  It's not my job to
teach a lesson in maturity.  I vote with helping the poor kid out, although
I think the student could have couched the request in a little more elegant
(read:  grovelling) prose.  (I'm a big fan of grovelling.  Ha ha.)
