If I was going to steal from a library, it wouldn't be a romance novel.
Me either.

I would imagine they have people put down deposits on things like that.

I looked at the Ann Arbor District Library website and  I couldn't find anything that said you had to put a deposit down.  You can check out three pieces for 8 weeks.  Pretty cool.

Ya really. Could be they don't have that much wrapped up in them, just copies and cheap frames.

Their site says they have originals, too.  The copies may not be framed; I don't know for sure.

Surely they have some kind of safety in place with the originals. I think they do that here too but have never checked into it. I may do that sometime just out of curiosity.

Theft is a problem with anything at a library.  Hell, we had a woman steal romance novels!  :eek:
If I was going to steal from a library, it wouldn't be romance novels. Just saying.

There hadn't been an accident in our parking lot in a while, so we were overdue for it.  Then a guy slammed into the wooden railings on the berm in the parking lot.  He said his foot slipped off of the brake and his ankle hit the gas.  Fortunately, he hit the brakes just before his front tires went completely over the berm.  Otherwise his car would have teetered back and forth on it.  He lost his whole front bumper and he said his entire right side hurt and he was limping.  The car was still drivable and he drove himself to an urgent care place.
