Rare Book Thief Took Detailed ‘Shopping List’ To RHS Library

The suspect “would use a false name to sign in to the Royal Horticultural Society’s Lindley library in London, it is alleged. He would leave after stuffing valuable volumes … under a tweed jacket he would always wear on such visits … The books on the piece of paper [he was carrying when arrested] were listed in sequential order as to where they could be found in the library.”
