Money Lost in Yonkers Library

A library employee at the Yonkers library has admitted to stealing $164,000.  The now ex-employee faces prison time.

Look, we have all been there.  You are hanging out in the library, not helping people because that would be silly.  You read stories about libraries facing closure around the nation and you think, "I can do bad all by myself."  Plus, you really want that Battlestar boxset.  Do what you want/got to do.

But that was all a joke.  What this really proves is that libraries are just as susceptable to employees breaking bad than every other industry.  We might be bigger targets even, because we are like the nice guy in town that opens the door for you and you take his wallet while his hands are full.  Anyway, I hope this person gets what they deserve, be it punishment or help.

Bastard Man Steals from Library and Sells Items Online

James F Jackson, alleged douchebag

A Glen Ellyn, IL man was charged with the theft of thousands of Lisle Public Library and other area library materials.  James F. Jackson took the books, DVDs and other items, often researching their value before selling them online.   No word on exactly how many materials he took.

Jackson was charged with theft over $300, theft of governmental property, and library theft.  I did not even know that last one was a real crime. "Library theft?"  I thought that was something douchbags, forgetful elderly, and stoned college students did.  Does that mean I can start threatening people with this?  "And if ya don't bring My Little Pony: The Movie back on time, I'm siccing Officer Roscoe on ya, little girl!"

Did ya ever thing you would read an article with a loser fat dude's picture and reference to the My Little Pony movie without feeling really sick inside?  You're welcome.
