A 400-year-old Bible stolen from the Carnegie Library of Pittsburgh has been found 4,000 miles away in the Netherlands.
The Carnegie Library in Pittsburgh unwrapped its Geneva Bible, dating back to 1615, on Thursday, two years after it was stolen. The Bible was recovered in the Netherlands -- purchased by the American Pilgrim Museum in Leiden -- and sent neatly to the U.S. in a small metal box and tucked in a decidedly post-17th century invention: bubble wrap.
"This Bible is more than a piece of evidence in a case," FBI Special Agent in Charge Robert Jones said at a press conference."It is a priceless artifact of religious significance to people of many faiths."

"Since the investigation was initiated, with the help of the FBI, 18 books have been recovered, 293 associated maps, plates and pamphlets have been recovered from areas all over the United States of America, as well as London and now the Netherlands," Zappala said.
