- More than likely, they were stolen - either by someone who was too cheap
- to purchase a copy for themselves, or by someone who felt such material
- should not be on the library shelves. It would be interesting to double
- check, however. It would be a shame if someone had bowed to the censorship
- demands of some locksmith or police department.
