I have 2 stories; the first one I thought I mentioned but I can't find the thread.
I was trying to go to the bathroom, and had a rush of people come in. When I thought I had a break, a woman comes up. she wanted a copy of some legal form. I asked her if she knew how to use the computer and she doesn't.
So I take her to the books with the forms, since I wasn't going to spend time finding the form in our database. She doesn't speak English, so I had to look for her. She asks if I can just find it online, and I tell her since she doesn't know how to use the computer she will have to make a copy from the book.
I figured she just wanted me to find it online and make a copy for her for free. I also told her to leave the book on a cart by my desk.
So I find the form in a book, and tell her to make a copy at the machine. I take her to the machine and there is someone using it, so I tell her to wait. I got to the bathroom, and when I came out, I started to look for her since I didn't trust that she would not steal the book. I didn't find her. I didn't see the book on the cart, either. I decide to look throughout the library (3 public floors) and I didn't see her. Some 15 minutes latter, I see the book on the cart, and find that she took out the pages. Now the legal form book is no good, and has to be reordered and discarded.
Second story happend this past Sat.
Security heard the alarm at the door go off and she asked the cop (we hire a cop for the bad things that security can't touch) to go after the guy since security can't leave the building. Cop goes after dude, and dude comes back in, doesn't set the alarm off, and leaves, going the opposite direction. Cop comes back in with a book that has the cover torn off. Seems the dude threw it out of his bag behind a pillar, and the cop found it after the guy left.
So the thief thought if he took off the cover, that gets rid of the security strip, but there are more strips in a book, either on a page or on the spine. Luckily the book was from 2007 and didn't seem in use much.
