Random Update from Six Years Back

Abseiling is a thing! It's when you descend vertically, usually down a rockface, from a double rope suspended directly above. Instead of a mountain, think of a scene from Mission: Impossible.

That's what we we're talking about. Criminals abseiled a warehouse containing treasure: they absconded with hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of historically important books. I wrote about back in February of 2017, as I was excited people were stealing books in spectacular fashion.

Anyway, they found the books! The investigation eventually lead to an underground paddock in Romania, of all places.

The books were returned to the owners. They were not hacked apart and sold piecemeal. There could be a rad action movie here somewhere...maybe even an investigatory procedural. Reality can match action movies well enough.
