They Should Be Brought To Book

A thief has stolen a book titled "Steal this Book" from a modern art exhibition in Switzerland. The organisers of the Basel Shift Festival have decided not to report the theft to the police yet, and are hoping that the thief will return it. The book with the words "Steal this Book" emblazoned across its cover had been placed in an incubator by artists from the Viennese artist's group Ubermorgen. The book was written by Abbie Hoffman in 1970 and published in 1971. Many bookstores refused to stock the book, because so many patrons followed the advice of the title and stole it.

FOOTNOTE: Maybe the thief was named Nick.
