[Publib] RE: Theft

[walt 24seven]

This is usually the typical process that most libraries follow when a theft 
occurs within
their agency.  Documentation of all incidents is so important for several 
reasons,
especially for future changes in security.   Documents should be 
filed/stored
in the director's or security manager's office.
