Subject: [calix] Unique DVD Theft Issue

Hello Library Community,

Here at the Burbank Public Library, over the course of two days, we have found empty DVD security cases on the shelves with notes inside stating that the theft of this library DVD was a political statement from a group calling themselves Chaos in Amerika. We have found four empty cases so far, the items are mixed in with the books on the shelf and have been found by our pages as they were shelving. We have no idea when they were placed there since we have found them in different sections throughout the library. The cases are not damaged and appear to have been opened with a magnetic device (the security cases we use are the ones that are opened by a magnet unlocking the mechanism on the bottom of the case).

We would like to know if any other libraries have found similar notes from this group or other anti-government groups and how you handled the situation.

Thank you,

Carey Vance
