Someone stole my library books today

I went to the library today to check out a whole bunch of stuff. I had a little bit of everything from travel, to history, to fiction books, even a few CDs and DVDs for recreation. Now, usually when I do my errands, I stop by the library first, because it's the closest stop to me, and it's a pain to get to coming from the opposite direction. After I check out my books, I just throw them in back seat, no bag or nothing. Figured, "They're just books, no one will care."

So... the next stop I made wasat mini-mall to do a little bit of shopping and other things. There's no underground parking or anything; just a standard parking lot, where everything is in plain sight. After I got everything I needed from the mall, I got back in my car and threw the bags into the back seat, not even knowing the books were gone. I drove home.

When I got home, I opened the back door and reached in to grab my bags, and then went back in to grab the books, and they were gone! The CDs and DVDs were there, which didn't make a lick of sense. :? So I put the bags down and I looked all over the car, checked all the windows, lowered them and rose them up with the power controls to make sure they were all working, and checked around the keyholes in the doors to check for any scratches, any signs of jimmying. Nothing. To the best of my knowledge, the car was locked when I came back to it, because I could have sworn I had to unlock it.

Bewildered, I just decided to go into the house and start thinking as to what reallyhappened. I unlocked my door, and put my shopping bags down in the hall, and as I entered the kitchen, I saw an envelope on the counter. I was immediately alarmed by this, and looked around to see if anything else was disturbed. I slowly proceeded to the envelope, and opened it. In the envelope, there was a ransom note. "I HAVE YOUR LIBRARY BOOKS. IF YOU WISH TO SEE THEM AGAIN, YOU WILL PAY ME A RANDOM OF 10,000 DOLLARS. I WILL CONTACT YOU WITH FURTHER INFORMATION." Stunned, my arm holding the envelope to my side feel, and something else slipped out of it. I bent down to pick it up, and I was horrified to see it was a page from one of the books I checked out today!

What kind of a sick **** holds a person's library books for ranson?! Screw the books. I bet you I probably won't even pay 200 dollars to the library to replace them.

Odd... I thought having "library books" in the thread titled would have scared you away from the topic, because I thought you would have reailzed there was going to be at least some reading to be done.

Do a barrel roll.Deku_Grumble

Do a swan dive off a 20 story building.

out of all the fake, fabricated stories you could've thought of, you make up something about some books getting stolen?Constrobuz

Not just stolen, held for ransom.

How can a person steal your books, then quickly find out where you live and leave a ransom note? Sounds fake -.-ChicaQueenWarGa

I'd have to agree.

I still read the whole thing and I found it mildy amusing, I liked how it's original and it didn't turn into Fresh Prince. Half-way through I had to reread the ending because I was sure your mom was going to make you move with your auntie.
