Ohio Police 'book' library thief with 35 fake children's library cards

December 21, 2007 - 8:13am — Blake

Busted: A Thirty-six-year-old is facing felony charges after police found more than 1000 library items in her home worth more than $15,000
"Her house was just boxes and bookshelves full, she had her own library at her house," says Lt. Rick Edwards of the Akron Police Department.
The scheme went on for years, until an alert library worker recognized Ware signing up her children under false names...again.

[Update] Sorry, that's Thirty-six-year-old, not Six, rather large typo.

a shame

I was going to post something snarky about how she should be burned at the stake but I think she's just really, really nuts.

Don't Rush to Judgement

Don't rush to judgement until we find out if she is thin and pretty.

Well!

It happens somewhere else! We had a habitual children sign-upper which would check out cookbooks and never bring them back. Very Frustrating!
