Comment 11 for bug 851000

How about this:

I'll restore the setting that I deleted and add code to handle_lost so that the status of lost items is not changed unless the setting is set to true.

I'll then push the above to collab branches and anyone who feels like making additional changes can do so.

I think, however, that waiting until a lost copy to return home to void the billing is too much to ask. I know our members' staff don't get it. Of course, that "feature" wasn't working to begin with since the checkin code only looks at the copy's status at the time of checkin, which would be in transit.
