Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.
OP, if you remember the titles you may want to contact some of the second hand bookstores in the area, see if anyone has tried to sell obvious library books or ask the owners if they could keep their eyes open. It’s a long shot but most booksellers have a pretty well honed gut instinct when it comes to skeeves trying swap stolen goods for drug money.
Those damn crackheads. I guess they’ll smoke the pages.
That’s really sad that someone would smash a window to steal books.
UGH what a shit bag this thief is. Did you leave them in your car? I always put things in my trunk now, no matter how insignificant it might seem because people are jerks and will steal anything.
It sucked when my folks had a station wagon back in the day — we had a special trap door compartment, but only so much fit in there.
RC, the really sad part is stealing books that you can borrow from the library for free.
Thief probably thought it was OPs copy of COD: Black Ops.
Golly, I hope they return them on time. Sorry to hear about the window.
I don’t get why someone would do that.. it’s not like they can easily sell the book with the “Halifax Public Library” stamp all fucking over it.
They probably represent the extent of his reading ability tbh.
I’ll play devil’s advocate and assume it was a crackhead tryin’ to get some of that good ‘ol book learning he’d heard about from loitering in front of the library.
OP, you are against the education of the unfortunate and underprivileged. You should be ashamed of yourself! Always trying to suppress the homeless and needy.
asshole.
I do not like crack heads
I do not like them on my bus
I do not like them when they cuss
I do not like them stealing books
I do not like their dirtyy looks
I do not like the way they smell
I wish they all would go to hell
doctor seuss would be so proud devilgirl^^
It was the overdue book fairy doing you a favour and taking your books back. She even paid the fine for you!
