Boy who stole Life magazine with Beatles on cover returns it to library 50 years later
Monday March 4, 2019. 09:29 PM , from BoingBoing
50 years ago, a boy named Brian stole a copy of Life magazine from an Ohio library that sported a photo of The Beatles on its cover. But this week he decided to give the book back, along with an apology note: 'Hello. I stole this magazine from the Parma Ridge Road library when I was a kid. I'm sorry I took it. I've enclosed a check for the late fee.'
Over the decades he racked up more than $1,800 in late fees, according to AP. But fortunately, for Brian, the library puts a $100 cap on library fines, so that is the amount he left them. The library, now called Cuyahoga County Public Library, wrote Brian back: “To the Beatles fan who 'borrowed' this copy of Life magazine in 1968: Thank you for returning it this week and clearing your conscience.” Via Daily Beast Image: Life magazine
