26 years after the last successful attempt, the Cannon was finally captured. After the Cannon was set off for the incoming F!rosh on the first day of [[orientation]], the Chief Attiliator left the cannon unguarded in the trunk of his car, thinking that it would be safe. | |||
There were no witnesses to the theft, even though the thieves peeled the trunk off the car and it was parked next to the Engineering Building. A ransom note signed "Fahrenheit 1710" was sent some time later, demanding that a group of engineers run onto Front Campus wearing only their underwear, carrying a banner of specific dimensions that proclaimed how "artsies" rule. | |||
Their demands were ignored, and the construction of a new Cannon began. The stolen Cannon was finally recaptured just in time for the 1994 Grad Ball | |||
The recovered Cannon was subsequently presented to a very deserving [[Malcolm McGrath]] (former Assistant Dean) for his leadership and contribution to student life. | |||
