Book lifters in Book Fairs !

One seldom come across news of book lifting from Book Fairs. Hence when such news appear in Newspapers one couldn't help being curious or even amused. The first thought that comes to mind is about the prosecution. In the said case a 45 years old government engineer and a 22 years old college student were arrested for stealing bag- full of books from Calcutta Book Fair.  The final outcome ? The engineer was taken to few stalls (from where the books were stolen) where he was forced to pay.  The rest were deposited in the Guild office. The boy however called his uncle who paid for the books.  Both were set free after stern warning by the police!
