Stealing the Sacred

Slashdot today linked up this Wired story detailing the shadowy world of Torah theft, and what synagogues are doing to stop it. Not as easy as you'd think, because to remain, well, I guess you'd say either "legal" or "kosher", absolutely nothing can be added to the 304,805 letters of the Torah's text. However, since Torahs are, you know, sacred, ways have been found to at least curb the theft problem.

Stealing Torahs. Man, it doesn't get much more "do not pass go do not collect $200 go to Hell" than that.
