The fines for laptops aren't at all reasonable. I once rented a laptop and ran into a friend who wanted to go out to eat and get some drinks. Lo and behold I forgot it was in my backpack on the way to his house. I woke up the next morning to find that I still had a laptop in my backpack...$180 down the drain.
I know the library wants timely laptop returns, but $180 for an honest mistake, and the refusal of anyone at the library to even talk about working out a deal to cut the fine is not fair.
