No doubt: Transy book thieves are criminals

I agree with the letter writer who expressed dismay over the four young men on tour chatting about their robbery of some of Transylvania University's rare books, and especially their thug-like treatment of the librarian.

This was a violent crime and the librarian was traumatized for years. Nothing cute or humorous about it. Stealing and hurting that lady was a crime. They were not being "just dopes."
