IIRC, In the early 90's, a Columbus, Ohio (OSU Campus) textbook seller named SBX (Student Book Exchange) was referred to by students as the "Stolen Book Exchange". Snatching a student's backpack and selling his books to a used textbook store was a simple, profitable form of crime.

[Note that I'm not arguing either in favor or against these regulations. I'm merely suggesting that they are more rational than they might at first appear.]
