Hi, We have seen this happen here in Roseville. I think preventing the ability to renew a lost item would be great, I know we would love that here, but maybe a system preference would be best for those who would like to still renew them.

We need some input for dealing with Bug 9805 - Lost items are un-lost if returned, but not if renewed. http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=9805 The issue is that renewing a lost item does not mark it as found. I filed a patch to correct the issue, but there are concerns about patrons being able to 'un-lose' items by renewing from the OPAC. We have two proposed solutions solutions: 1) Prevent the renewing of lost items 2) Make renewing a lost item marking it as found controlled by a system preference I submitted a patch for the latter solution, but after some thought I and some other developers think the former solution would be best. What do you all think?
