This may be a good opportunity to attract your attention to another
books and print theft matter in Delft, The Netherlands. A curator of
a museum has been stealing prints and books (and watercolours and
paintings) from the museum's collection over a period of 6 years.
Still A LOT of the collection is missing. An (incomplete) list of the
stolen collection is available at
http://www.museum-security.org/curator.html
(first there is a smalll portion of text in Duch. Scrolling down you
will find a photo of the curator - anybody out there who dealt with
this man between 1997 - 2002 ? -, and at
http://www.museum-security.org/ you can see a photo of a severely
damaged book.
