On the topic of stolen books, an employee at the Royal library in Sweden stole a number of ancient books, some of which turned up in the US. The case ended with him blowing himself up.

If you read the “Deep Sleep” article, there’s a story about a guy that steals a Gutenberg bible from Harvard and meets a similar fate.
