Yep we can certainly find out who has an item now. And presently we can find
out who last had the item.
I dont want to lose that function. Damage to a book may be found after it
has been returned (librarians dont really have time to check every item as
its returned for damage, so they may miss one)

Hope this makes sense.

And thanks everyone for your contributions to this discussion its really
helped me understand the issue a lot better.
