Clair We leave a lot of books in our house but AFAIK to date no books have been taken by our visitors. Our clients who visited a couple of weeks ago e-mailed us afterwards and said how much they liked having our books to read, games for the children to play with and our C.D.s to listen to. Most of the C.D.s we picked up very cheaply so no problem leaving them in the house when it is let. Cendrillon    Report
