For shame, Mr. Smiley

Man with ridiculously blue-blooded name (E. Forbes Smiley III) steals obscure maps from my favorite library in the whole world, the Beinecke Rare Book and Manuscript Library at Yale.

"According to the local police, a library worker's discovery of an X-Acto knife blade on the reading room floor near Mr. Smiley was the first hint of trouble. By early afternoon, they say, librarians had video images of Mr. Smiley removing from a book an antique map valued by Yale at $150,000. Later that day, the police say, they found in his jacket a fragile map that appeared to have been taken from a 17th-century book; others that also appeared to be stolen, worth more than $700,000, were in his briefcase."
