All,
Via lisnews.org: Librarian to recount story of map thief.
First paragraph from article:
In 2006, Western librarian Rob Lopresti was involved in the
investigation of the theft of 648 pages that were torn from 102 rare
books in Western’s Wilson Library.
The investigation lasted two years and crossed state lines, finally
ending with the conviction of James L. Brubaker, who was sentenced to 30
months in federal prison and ordered to pay $23,000 in restitution –
most of it to Western.
The Western Front sat down with Lopresti to talk about the thefts.
