Busted Selling $30k in Library books on craiglist
Quote:
Pilaar, 33, obtained seven library cards from the Denver Public Library by using different names according to CBS4 investigator Brian Maass. The library says Pilaar then checked out as many as 300 items on each card, selling many of them via popular Web site Craigslist.com. Craigslist delivers
A woman who recently bought books from Pilaar through Craigslist noticed the library identification stamps and alerted authorities who soon learned the book bandit had been busy throughout the area?s public library system.
M. Celeste Jackson of the Denver Public Library estimated the loses to that city?s library could run as high as $35,000.
"It appears his intent was to sell 2,100 (items) from the Denver Library collection," Jackson told reporters.
