if this was america they would of seized his house sold it for a million and kept the difference!
But not before a predawn raid ..
You aren’t far from wrong. I lived in a small NH town and was 2 weeks late returning a book when the police came to my door! Failure to return could be construed as theft of the book.
The school had taken one of my kids to the library to borrow books without my consent so I wasn’t aware of the book being at my house.
I returned the book and told the teacher that if she wasn’twilling to take responsibility for the fines, then I don’t want any more book borrowing.
I worked 2 jobs and had a growing family...too much going on. But the penalty was falling on me. Nope. Ain’t happening, cops at my door.
Guess I’m still POed about thatš¤£
