Lol at the cunts who are scared to steal books from a UNIVERSITY library where you're probably shelling out a couple hundreds every month AT LEAST. It's not like you're stealing from underprivileged refugees trying to educate themselves at a public library. Anyway, I stole like 100 books so far. Got a great library at home, girls are amazed by the value and the breadth of the books I have, pretty good. Currently sitting in the library actually, wondering whether to steal this book. Probably worth around 80€ again, looks p cool

how do your universities secure the books? there's like literally NO security here. most work with these little RFID stickers in the back of the book, which makes it stupidly easy to steal stuff. grab a book you like, go to the bathroom (if you even bother), rip out the RFID chip, well, the book is now completely unsecured, just walk out the door (this ofc requires the book to be able to be rented out otherwise it looks suspicious)

Toss the book over the range of the scanners and catch it on the other side

>> No.6594320

>>6594266
Quite noticeable. I did wonder whether to put my hand in the air as I walked out then drop it, but that also would've been too noticeable and I imagined the scanners would've nab me.

But I did take history books from the stock room - no scanners, and the last time they were taken out was in a defunct grammar school in the 1970s. I don't think anyone minded. Sometimes, I'm quite sad I can't take any more books.

In reply to your thread OP, The English Reformation by A.G Dickens is very good if you are interested in history. If not, god knows.

There is literally no reason to do this other than stealing for some preppy anarchist high. You're chipping away at the welfare of your university and sapping away from other student's educations.

On an old thread about stealing from a Uni library, someone said they drop the books out of the window into a bush, then collect them upon leaving the library, obviously.

A pretty good approach, if your library has the right setup.

I do not steal from my Uni Library, though. Most of the books I'd want are over a decade old and covered in stamps and stickers. Pointless.
