I have left a letter or two in books I’ve returned. (I tend to use them as bookmarks.) Would you send a letter to someone who did that… or is that going to far?
@Moke: I’d probably try to return a letter, if possible. The email thing was just funny, and hopefully it’d be the last time someone forgot to log themselves out before they left the library.
When I was a computer science major, we used to do similar things to people who’d left themselves logged in to lab machines. Rather than e-mail, though, usually it involved editing their login scripts to do things like write “I will always log out” 500 times…
