I am saying it is my belief, from what I have been told (and reiterated to on a phone call a minute ago) that the NYPL should possibly be held accountable for their gross negligence. I am not a lawyer but I believe a case of equitable estoppel could potentially be made, from reading what that is on Wiki
. The NYPL was told what was going on and chose to ignore it.
If I take something from your house and you see me and let me go, can you come back to me 20 yrs later and say you want the item back and be successful?
