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 agree with you, loose a few $100 to $10,000 a year, and / or add on another 5-10k to persecute someone for forgetting to return a single item. Money better spent going after actual criminals that are a threat to someone.
I could understand if the guy was actually intentionally stealing from there, but this was going way to far.
