Truly one of the great moments in television history.

Do the crime, then serve the time.

Piker! I took out “1984” when I was 12 years old in 6th grade, and only returned it in 2013. My school magazine forgave me the accrued fine, and printed an article reminding people that it is never too late to seek redemption.

[Dr. Sivana]

I took the book out in 1975.

Don’t they have any real criminals to go after?

If she doesn’t wear a mask, when in court, they must institute the death penalty against her! </sarc> (and the attitude of the covid-brainwashed)

Im still on the lamb form “Colombia Record Club “n They never take me alive

[BobL]

Deadbeat.

[Mr.Unique]

Don’t break the law and this sort of stuff won’t happen. /s

[BobL]

“Whatever happened to the statute of limitations”

I think that because she was charged well within the statue of limitations, she can’t use that defense.

“If she finds it, I sure hope she rewinds it.”

She’s going to have to find a VHS player first.

[Still Thinking]

Well, there our to be a value threshold of its gonna be a felony like minimum value of the rented property of $1,000 or something.

[Graybeard58]

Hang her higher than Haman.

[Flick Lives]

You took out 1984 in 1975 and returned it in 2013. Sounds almost like time travel was involved.

[DesertRhino]

Not back then. It was simply “rented property” before anything like video rental existed. Several states did that kind of felony. It’s pretty much a thing of the past now.
