A little girl came up to me wanting to reset the PIN on her library card. So I scanned her card, and noticed that the name on her card had been whited out. And the card had been reported lost.
"What's your name?" I asked.
"I_______," she said. Which was not the name on the computer record.
"What's your last name?"
"H______," she said, which was also not the name on the computer record.
"This is not your card."
"Oh," she said. "This is awkward."
"Yes. It is."

Never try to scam someone three times older than you.

wow....they start young don't they...
Why didn't she just get her own card? Aren't they free?

Well, we do require ID to get a card - and some kids can't get their parents to come in with them. And your first card is free, but then it's $1 to replace a lost one.

ah, I hope her means to an end overrode her developing morals, and she wasn't just playing the system :/
