Out of Sight Out of Mind

A guy came up to the Ref Desk today and asked if we had seen anyone carrying a black laptop around.  That pretty much describes most laptops that come in to the library.  Apparently he left his back in the far corner of the library while he went to the restroom and when he returned the laptop was gone.  We searched the stacks but by the time we were notified of the theft the culprit was already gone. The A.D. called 9-1-1 and an officer was supposed to come in and fill-out a report but they ended up taking his report over the phone.  So much for community policing...
