People do steal books ocassionally. I don't know what to tell you. I mean, I just feel sad for the people who think they're going to make any money doing that. Books just aren't all that valueable, monetarily-speaking. We value them! But the going price is pennies on the dollar used. Lots of places are so full up they won't even buy used books.

But, it is awful when people clean the LFLs out.

For myself, I just whisper, "Whelp, good luck with that, friend," and refill the stock.
