Wow that’s pretty wild. I believe it after listening to the story, but still. Fascinating

Definitely interested in checking out the book as well, nice to see others have read it and enjoyed

Maybe this is old news to you, but it was new to me - an interesting episode of This American Life recently re-aired called The Feather Heist. It tells the story of Edwin Rist breaking into the British National History Museum to steal a stash of rare birds to sell their feathers and tie salmon...
