--- Comment #16 from Fiona Borthwick <fiona.borthwick at ptfs-europe.com> ---
If the user returned the book on time and left it in a bookdrop due to the
library being closed, then that user should not have a fine imposed.
I realise that the fines job will have run and populated the fine before the
library removes the book from the bookdrop.
However when they then set the return date to reflect the 'real' date (e.g.
yesterday), then Koha will know that the book was returned on time and
therefore no fine should have been generated.

Personally I think an audit trail is not required for this purpose. The fine
(whilst it was applied) would not have been if the library had been open and
the user could return the item to the counter.

>From a user's perspective they are not going to want evidence of a fine on
their account when it was not needed nor a proper fine.

I would opt for it to be deleted completely.
