...many auctions, adding to his private collection of French books, manuscripts, prints, and etchings.

When it was found it had gone 216 miles and the "U-Drive-It" people are now suing the Swiss scholar for a ride he did not enjoy. It hasn't been decided who is on the side of the law in this case...
