An Investment Worth Stealing

This morning I found an anti-theft sticker between the pages of a newly-purchased copy of Bill Bryson's A Walk in the Woods. Don't get me wrong, stealing is obviously bad, but it warms my heart to think that there are still people in the world who would walk into a bookstore and decide that they're going to lift a fifteen-year-old book-length essay about a fat and charmingly cultured middle-aged man hiking the Appalachian Trail.
