Well, as someone who actually HAS been fined for an item I returned and then found on the shelf, I say you have to have a reasonable doubt.
Oddly enough, my current library does not charge overdue fines. If you keep the item out for more than six weeks past the due date, you're charged for the item and a processing fee.
It's probably been 30 years since I had an overdue item, so I haven't had to pay a fine anyway.
