Just part of our job here as public-library staff. (Thanks to my coworker Mary for the title!)
One of our patrons informed us that someone had spread glitter glue on the toilet seat and light switch of one of our public restrooms. We put up an "Out of Order" sign till our custodian came to clean up, but about 15 minutes later a woman came in dragging her son. She'd found out he was the culprit and brought him back to clean up. I gave them paper towes and Goo Gone (since the stuff on the toilet had hardened beyond the paper-towel point) and she made him clean up every bit.
We approved of the mother's method. I did write an incident report since it could be considered damage to public property. After all the serious incidents our management has to read about sometimes, I bet they got a chuckle about this glitter-glue vandal.

Hooray, Mom! And I hope you did get a good laugh out of this one. Too much. (Glitter... reminds me of the kind of stunt someone in Oh, My Gods! would pull. ;-) )
