The Bible Thief
This one was impossible to resist, via the Lefsetz Letter. A reader responds to a post concerning the pros and cons of the Kindle (mostly the pros, actually):
“My Kindle was stolen off my seat on a United flight back from London to LA two months ago. Went to the restroom, came back, gone! Theft at 35,000 ft. I reported it stolen to United (we decided not to search everyone on the plane!), but I left the account on to see what happened next. A week later, I got a notice from Amazon that a book had been purchased on my Kindle acct. What did the thief buy??
The Bible, Old AND New Testament, only $0.99 (public domain)…”

usuallyoften cited as the most frequently shoplifted book. Plus ça change, plus c’est la même chose.No links, but a casual websearch can confirm this.
