When Is Church History A Crime?
Answer: When you steal it. A big heist went down recently in Salt Lake City (Rare LDS Texts Stolen) but a follow-up story posted today reports that most of the items were recovered and the few remaining items will likely be recovered as well. I really hate to see this kind of story given front-page coverage — I don’t want the petty thieves of Utah to get the idea that this is a new market they should move into. Time for museums and collectors to invest in a little more security.
This is definitely taking the hard way to get scriptures.
Someone should have let the thieves know they can easily get a Book of Mormon for the asking, without stealing.

Not so fast. The thieves probably wanted to get a copy of the Book of Mormon without having to deal with missionaries knocking on their door to get them, and then having them drop by every other day to check up on the thieves’ progress…
