Another bookstore nightmare: wild-eyed shoplifters

I enjoyed the responses to the post about the secret horrors of working in a bookstore.

Now here's a story from a fellow survivor, spotted by alert staffer Christopher Wynn, about something I never had to deal with: shoplifting crazies, and a list of the most-stolen books.

(R-rated language alert -- it's an alt-weekly story.)
