You may have read about the map thief, James Lyman Brubaker. A press release has been issued by the Department of Justice in Montana. Don't you just love the phrase " interstate transportation of stolen property" - it makes you nostalgic for those old episodes of FBI!

"All that mankind has done, thought or gained or been: it is lying as in magic preservation in the pages of Books. They are the chosen possession of men."Thomas Carlyle (1795 - 1881) - Heroes and Hero Worship
