I’ve been ROBBED! *UPDATED*

I have been ROBBED!

I've considered every possible scenario... three headed aliens, an invisible time portal, a seven pound Pomeranian with a ginormous hunger for knowledge, or even mutant geckos with a devious intent on destroying Federal property. Nothing explains my missing library books, so I'm forced to accept the fact that we've been robbed.
I don't know who or even when this dastardly act was committed and I have no explanation why the only items stolen were two library books. The first book entitled "Bamboo" is a fictional child's book, which we never read so I can't comment on its worth as a stolen item. The second book was entitled "Birth Your Way" and was only slightly informative as I've read 200 other books on the subject.

What's stranger is that these books were not lost at the same time, they weren't checked out at the same time, and they were one of many we had checked out! Because we returned a group of books together, I don't recall ever specifically seeing this book on its journey back to the library.

I've searched high and low...Every room in this house... every drawer, closet, every possible hiding spot. I've looked everywhere, times 5! Nothing.

I've now racked up some considerable late charges, only to be compounded by fees to replace the books I can't return!

I'm past the point of caring about the moolah... It irritates me to no end, and until my dying day I'll be wondering about these stolen books!
