The 5 most stolen books in the US
I’ve never read any of them, so it wasn’t me, and I don’t really fit the sociology:
If there is one sociological conclusion we can draw from this list, it’s that the “type” of booklifter is likely young and male, and there’s probably a link between the draw of the content of these top books and the actual act of theft. In other words, someone who wants to commit a reckless act is most interested in reading about reckless acts.
I’m not sure how this information enriches our lives, unless you’re trying not to get your, ahem, “sex and drugs” books stolen, but what is interesting is that right down the bottom of the article the Bible gets a mention as being commonly stolen from public libraries!
