BOSTON (Reuters) - A dealer of antique treasures who admitted stealing more than $3 million in rare maps was resentful of the world's top libraries and acted to finance his rich tastes and rising debt, prosecutors said on Thursday.
He was arrested after a keen-eyed library staffer noticed a dropped X-Acto knife blade on the floor.
