Yeah! I had a book stolen from me in a class. I mean stolen as in the person found the book in an empty desk and kept it. I went to half.com to buy another. It happened to be from a seller in UNCG, my school. When I finally get the book, after alot of trouble...
I open it up to see MY HANDWRITING!!!

I have called the campus police and they want to see me Monday to file a report and get my money back for me.

It is a felony to resell stolen items.

They are going after this girl. They say this is a problem on campus.

Geez, that IS ironic and good for you, too! Get your money back and prosecute. Stolen books are every student's nightmare because they cost so darned much these days!

Hehe...makes me remember my StarCraft episode. See, a few years back I had StarCraft, Brood War and Insurrection. A friend of mine asked if I could borrow them to him. Let's mark this friend as A from group 1. Now, a few months later A asked if he could lend the game to B from group 1. I said yeah and a few months later C said he's got my StarCraft. A week has passed and I lost track of it. Group 1 means my school friends. Year and some later a friend from group 5, my hang-out group mentioned he's got StarCraft, and I asked if he could lend it to me. He did. it was my StarCraft pack. I asked him how he got it, he said a friend from a city 50 miles away gave it to him.
