Maybe it's because I'm a native Mancunian, but I felt really sad reading this story about a guy who worked in Manchester's Central Ref library and stole £175,000 of rare books.
It just feels like both a breach of trust, and a pointless thing to do - you're bound to eventually get caught - rare books are pretty identifiable, as he learned to his cost - but in the meantime the city's heritage has been plundered.
I think I'm feeling a little maudlin.
