Bizarrely stuck seatpost

Once upon a time many years ago I lived in a flat in a shared house, I had a frame with a seatpost stuck in it, someone who shall remain nameless gibbleking asked if they could have the seatpost, I said sure if you can get it out... I went to work, when I came back my frame had been chopped to bits and he stood there smiling with the seatpost in his hand... Needless to say I was not a f**king happy bunny...
It is rather funny though...
 
Collects cordless angle grinder and starts off towards Colnago kid's shed...
No need- I'm giving it back to him wouldn't even attempt that removal....& the rest of the bike was in a bit of a state as well ( rusty cables/misaligned brake blocks/very dirty rear cassette...)

It would look as ugly as can be, but do we really not think that with a blow torch and a lot of working, that could be reverse prised back into original form, albeit baggy and use able?

As to the mapp torch comment earlier, my Dad did that a long time ago for a stuck seatpost, if you keep an eye on it it can work, but it ruins the paint so you might as well use caustic soda as that is foolproof
