Thief Leaves Connecticut Library Out in the ColdA thief stole nearly 500 gallons of heating oil from the exterior tank of the Levi E. Coe Library in Middlefield, Connecticut, the night of December 17. “There was no heat. I thought the furnace was broken,” said Library Director Mary Dattilo in the December 26 Middletown Press. But a repairman who came to check the system discovered that the tank was empty, even though it had just been filled two weeks earlier. Refilling the tank and installing a new locking cap—“so it can’t happen again,” said Dattilo—cost the library $850 from its general fund. “We have to make it up,” Dattilo noted. “We’re a small library with a small budget.” Posted January 2, 2004. |
