As library fines go, Thomas Pilaar has a doozy: $53,549. The 34-year-old Denver man also was sentenced to 10 years in state prison today for checking out roughly 1,400 books and DVDs and reselling most of them online. About 500 items were recovered when Pilaar was picked up on an unrelated arrest warrant last year. He had seven library cards in his name and other people's for branches in Denver, Douglas County, Aurora and Littleton. He checked out dozens of books and movies on each library card. He was prosecuted by the Denver District attorney's office.

Something about this story is really super depressing. I mean, more than most of them. Maybe it's the picture...he looks lost in his own stupidity.
