Guests "stealing" books

[Mialovescoffee]

I have a problem with my guests. Sometimes they like to read, and they -never- put back the books in the bookcase. I never get them back. This could be expensive books that just dissapear because the guests does not have the decency (or proper coding) to put them back where they belong.

Do you know what to do? The books is probably in the inventory of the guests..

You could always change households and drag the books to your lot or sometimes when a guest takes a book it will show up in my family inventory.   

I've actually gotten to the point where I lock the bookshelf with the expensive books in a room that only my household can go into it.   When you click on the door, it should have the option to Lock to Everyone but My Household.

Some guests might also have the kleptomaniac trait, and that is why they are taking them.  A witch of a maid used to do that for me.
