    Default The Feather Thief

    Not sure if this book has been the subject of a post
    on the forum. A fascinating account of an American
    young man breaking into the Tring Museum (England)
    and making off with hundreds of rare bird specimens
    worth big bucks. I found it on www.thriftbooks.com.
    Best to all,
    Stay safe and keep laughing,

    Default Feather Thief

    Interesting read. I'm still of the opinion that the second guys in Canada/Europe were the "fences". The author, also the person who investigated the case, was frustrated with the outcome. Considering the lack of cooperation from The Atlantic Salmon fly tying community, I'm not surprised. Maybe says a lot about us???
