Isis2200 18 #1 Posted March 7, 2007 A man accused of theft and burglary may have learned how to commit the crimes from a library book. According to police, Nicholas MacNab is accused of stealing several vintage guitars and selling them on eBay. Police also said they believe MacNab was purchasing prescription drugs like methadone, ephedrine and barbiturates from foreign countries to sell on the Internet. Investigators said when they searched his apartment, one piece of evidence stood out. They said they found a book from the Molalla Public Library called “Money For Nothing: Ten Great Ways To Make Money Illegally.” MacNab claimed the book was just a bad coincidence. “It was supposed to be a DVD Nicholas Cage movie called ‘Money For Nothing,’” said MacNab. “You can check them out online and reserve them. I reserved the wrong thing.” Molalla Public Library was closed on Monday and FOX 12 was not able to get a comment from them regarding the book. A member of the Oregon Librarian Association told FOX 12, “Libraries don’t make judgments on books except things that are clearly illegal. As far as ideas are concerned, libraries are neutral places. Libraries are not in the censoring business.” Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

How bout making money legally by writing a book called "How to make a nuclear bomb?", "10 Ways to Break into a Home Unnoticed?", "Carjacking 101", "Methamphetamines Made Easy". LOL I'm joking, of course. I never woulda thought they woulda had a book like the one in the article. If libraries are "not in the censoring business", maybe they oughta be.
