Why do people tend to be more careless on Public property more than Private property? They are both not theirs?

canu give an example rb?
Some people justify their lack of carefulness with public property because people expect public property to get used more and wear out faster.
If I remember correctly the Rambam, in the fourth perek of Hilchot Teshuvah, says that stealing from the public is a sin that is very difficult to rectify.
The Goq – For example: People tend to be less careful with a sefer belonging to a shul/bais medresh, where as people are more careful when using a private sefer.
this is partially because when you use a privatey owned object, you are usually known to its owner and therefore must answer to him and he will hold you accountable for damage etc; by a publicly owned object, however, there is very often no one to whom a borrower of said object is accountable to, which ehgenders a rather cavalier disposition towards safeguarding the object from potential damage or simply over aggressive / careless use of it.
