Man Returns A Book That Was Overdue By 49 Years
A Minnesota man who went to the University of Dayton recently returned a book that was overdue by 49 years.
The man was a freshman when he checked out History of the Crusades in 1967. He has technically been fined two cents each day for the last 49 years. Luckily, the school has politely waived his $350 fine.
The guy returned the book after finding it in an old box filled with his things from college. He mailed the book to the campus, along with a note:
Please accept my apologies for the absence of the enclosed book History of the Crusades. I apparently checked it out when I was a freshman student and somehow it got misplaced all these years.
