Let me also remind everyone of MAGIRT's Map Collection Security Guidelines, available here:

http://www.ala.org/magirt/sites/ala.org.magirt/files/content/publicationsab/Map%20Coll%20Security%20Guidelines.pdf

The Guidelines address sheet maps as well as maps in books and atlases.

Susanne,

I'm sorry to hear your library has been targeted.

This seems a good time to remind everyone that the Rare & Endangered
Government Publications committee has a theft toolkit, posted here:
