Charles Davis writes “The National Library of Wales has been criticised for the way it dealt with
thefts valued at £100,000 from its collection.
Razors were used to steal a number of maps dating from the early and mid
17th century from the library’s Aberystwyth building.
But a four-month delay in informing dealers of what had been taken may have
prevented the maps being recovered, according to the Antiquarian Booksellers
Associations.
But the library said it had been advised by police to keep the thefts quiet.
