re: #66 Hecuba’s daughter

IANAL but if someone takes books from a library and refuses to return them, can they be charged with theft? Would the police be willing to take them into custody? How would the justice system handle this attempt at extortion?

I doubt the police would be willing to arrest anyone for library book napping. Unfortunately, there is little that can be done. If I were the library, though, some one is definitely losing their library card!
