Sounds like the billions that went missing 'somewhere in Iraq'.

Some time ago there was buzz about the corporate entity that absorbed Sanborn, who stated they wanted any and all originals back, as they were corporate property and were only 'on loan'. Any updates on this matter?

Perhaps it was Smiley & Co.'s greatest heist...

Did this Indiana Census office have a newsletter in which this might have
been written up?

I do not remember this on maphist or maps-l, as one of the few still alive
and on board who might have read it.

Then again...the memory fades...
