I'm sure that rental store was really feeling the pain from a single un-returned copy of Sabrina the Teenage Witch. God forbid your mind ever slip.

  In their defence, if there was no possibility of serious consequences, people would have kept tapes all the time and the store would've gone bust well before the internet killed them. The real issue here is that she apparently didn't even make the rental herself or know it was being done in her name, and that the store or the authorities didn't bring it to her attention and allow her to sort it out at the time.

    The real issue, in my mind, is that she had an outstanding charge for felony embezzlement that was reported in background checks but never scheduled for a court date. The government basically hamstrung her economic marketability for 22 years without giving her so much as a summons and a chance to clear her name in court.

      Yep, as I wrote: "... and that the store or the authorities didn't bring it to her attention and allow her to sort it out at the time".
