The dangers of reading

https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cvg4kpv3p4zo

A robber broke into an apartment in Rome, and couldn't resist picking up the copy of The Gods at Six O'Clock Gli dèi alle sei by Giovanni Nucci on the table, which resulted in him being caught.

He should have just taken the book with him!

(Looks like an interesting book, too!)

>2 lilithcat: Doesn't it, but not if I would have to read it in Italian.

Note to self: If I fall on hard times, robbery is not a viable career option for me...

>4 GraceCollection: Not for me either!
What a fantastic story this is, from the robber's behaviour to the reaction of the book's author... It's begging to be turned into a work of fiction.
