Fan breaks into home, steals Harry Potter books

It seems like fans are really fanatic over Harry Potter. On April 26, in a suburb outside Fort Worth, Texas, a thief allegedly broke into a house and stole drugs? No. Cash? No. Jewelry? No. Instead it was six of the popular volumes of the Harry Potter books, as well as their accompanying cassette tapes from an upstairs bedroom. The owner valued the books and tapes to be about $700.
Some were joking that the books could have used Potter’s famous “Invisibility Cloak” as a means of saving themselves from the thief. In addition to the Harry Potter materials, the thief also stole blank checks that The Star Telegram was saying possibly to pay for book seven?
This could be somewhat a setback for the previous books’ owner. But since the fan was willing to go to such extremes, perhaps all one can do is let it go and move on. Sadly, when the previous owner goes to purchase Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, book seven will be alone upon the silent shelf.
