Woman Pleads Guilty To Stealing Library Books Then Selling On eBay

VISTA, Calif. (AP) — A San Diego County woman has pleaded guilty to stealing about 2,000 library books and DVDs to resell on the Amazon website.

City News Service says 45-year-old Maria Nater of Vista entered a plea Tuesday to felony burglary. She'll be sentenced to probation.

Prosecutors say Nater stole materials from libraries in Carlsbad, Oceanside and San Diego. An investigation was launched last year after staff at a Carlsbad library noticed a significant book loss.

Authorities say a search of Nater's home turned up thousands of books on cooking, crafts and animals, some of them wrapped and ready to ship.
