I came across an article about shoplifting in independent bookstores.

“To work in an independent bookstore is to always be aware of shoplifters. It can devour you; you can spend all your time watching people, wondering if they’re watching you. Every shoplifter caught is a major victory against the forces of darkness; every one who escapes is another 10 minutes kept awake at night with gnashing teeth.”
Of all the things to steal, books seem unlikely. You can sit in most bookstore coffee shops and read to your heart’s content. The bookstores let you steal from the author, they just don’t want you to steal from them. Technically, the bookstore has paid for the book, so maybe buying a cup of coffee is just rent on the books.
