Multiply that by all the other missing items from the library and you're looking at tens of thousands of dollars worth of man hours to recover a few hundred dollars worth of assets.
Silly me.
I think that the general public will feel a lot safer knowing heinous library jackers are being prosecuted to the full extent of the law.
Yes the kid should have returned the DVD, but the response was disproportionate to the offence.
