I am really sorry they tossed the base to your springform pan. I've seen that pan, and it is a mighty and glorious pan.
Back when I was in college a good friend on my hall had a pan not as spiffy as yours, but spiffy enough, and made all of us a cheesecake. I went to the hall kitchen a couple days later and found the base of his pan (heavy waffle-textured metal) in the trash where the very sweet girl with no common sense who was currently eating the last piece of cheesecake had put it. She then boggled at me when I proceeded to fish it out and wash it off. Ah, people.
