Overdue and "lost" books... Grr...
For some recent games research projects, I have been hunting for
precisely those books that, in the Mega-city of Hamburg, exist in just
one or two of its dozens of libraries..."lost", "overdue" etc.
Fortunately, I did find them eventually. At least, they were worth the
hunt. 

A librarian friend of mine tells me that the libraries with the highest
disappearance rates are at the law and theology faculties. Go figure.

Could make all kinds of interesting scenarios, especially if the
players don't know what the "goods" are. The "goods" are not to be
harmed, of course. Oh, and some of the troopers might be interested in
souvenirs to send home.

No idea about that, but it sounds extremely plausible.
