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.)
