“Like those who steal war memorials to melt down, such people have no conscience; keel-hauling is the only fitting punishment, but no doubt a hand-slap will be the result, if indeed the moron concerned is ever apprehended.”

“I hate people who steal the fruits of others' achievements. I hope the thief is caught and the book thrown at him. How very upsetting for Alex. Even a replica would never be the same, knowing that the original is out there.”
