London2HK - Just pay the damn fine will you? Even if you value your time at HK$ 50 / hour, the amount of time spent on looking at ways to beat the system would mean that you'd be down about a $100 or so BEFORE you deal with the system.
AND .... is this what we need to be teaching kids?
Sorry.. but I get pissed off when people jump through hoops for what is essentially a couple of hundred dollars fine.
I really doubt London2HK has spent more than 10 mins posting on here and quickly checking Amazon.
London2HK - If it makes you feel less guilty, check this out - Library book returned 70 years late - , - Odd news stories, updates & weather - MSN News UK
I wonder if she had to pay the fine :O
Yup agreed.

Either go to the darn library and return it and apologise and suck up any fees they charge since its your fault the book was damaged.
Or
Buy some more stuff from Amazon to make the Postage more pallatable, Buy some more 1p books then donate them to the Library or a charity and have a nice warm fuzzy glow inside afterwards.
Job done.
