Perhaps we should just ask for whereabouts of individuals without naming a
reason. We could also ask that addresses are given by telephine only or only
emailed to the enquiring institution.
I share Reinhard's concerns but also know from personal experience that to
get back some very expensive books is worth the effort. It does also alert
other libraries to possible miscreants, the above caveat inlcuded.
