How about checking it back in?

You must return the equipment to the worker at the circulation desk. Do not leave it unattended. All components, like carrying cases, power adapters, and cables, need to be returned at the same time. You are solely responsible, and if lost, damaged, or more than 24 hours overdue, you will be charged a replacement fee. If the equipment is returned in good condition, the fee will be reduced.
