Granted, not good. However, you ought to be able to get the FBI involved in the event you think they might be stolen without worrying that if it turns out your grad student threw them in the autoclave they'll rake you over the coals for it.

Ought to be able to, yes. In the current atmosphere of terrorism-charged fears, though, you might consider having a lawyer present for any contracts signed with Big Brother whether he's the feds or university administration just to be on the safe side.
