It stated in the article, "....police said they found the items, mostly cookbooks, during a search of her apartment."

It is the "mostly cookbooks" part that would worry me. What were the other books pertaining to? Gardening? Cannibalism? Finance management? You decide which combination would create a major concern!

Kidding aside........it sounds as if this poor lady has/had a problem. I hope that not only does she have to pay restitution for her crime, but that she obtains some help to prevent further "misadventures." Not an extremely HUGE issue when looked at on a global scale - but still a problem to be dealt with
