One of my friends helped put it into perspective when I was moaning
about the number on "non-inventoried" items again this year--she said,
"Isn't it exciting to think we've got something worth stealing"...
Seriously, though, when I have two consecutive years of an item showing
up as non-inventoried, I record it as lost.

Subject: [LM_NET] Gen:Inventory books unmarked / missing
I'm down to "only" 225 books missing out of 12000. This is on top of
about 400 others that are listed as missing from previous years.
Besides swearing under your breath about "kids these days" (my previous
posts about being more patient this year notwithstanding), at what point
do you give up and figure there's nothing you can do about it? With 680
kids in an elementary school, I'd have to figure I'd lose a few over the
course of the year, right?
On a humorous (kinda) sidenote, one of the stolen books was my only copy
of Higher Power of Lucky. It's surprising because everyone I tried to
get to read it refused or gave up after a chapter or two; only my local
klepto wanted it!
