Once many years ago I borrowed a Book from the Ballarat Library called The Sun by Patrick Moore, first published in 1968, I know this as I still have it, and have it on my desk whilst i type this.
As the story goes when I did borrow it i had just forgotten to return it and time marched on until last year some 40 plus years later, it surfaced somewhere in my house lost for so long.
I did actually take it back to the Library and the chap over the counter just laughed and said, "Mate it has been out of the system for that long you may as well keep it", and handed it to me with a big grin.
He then said at 5 cents for each day overdue it would have cost you $730.00 in fines,
enjoy.
A true story.
