Yes, lock the topic.? ?You've lucked out in that someone decided to reply to a message you already deleted, thus reviving the topic, which you can now lock.
It also does not hurt, as part of a "This topic is now locked/closed" message, to note that any attempt to start it under another guise will be dealt with severely.? If you do have the unfortunate situation where there's an obscenity in the topic title you can actually edit that in your outgoing message then lock the original offending topic and the new one you've created.
