                Whoever stole it probably found himself and his family forever cursed afterwards, and then belatedly realized it's not nice to risk all to test a written curse!

                      Unless it was Francis Bacon, Christopher Marlowe (despite being dead), Montague Dru...., oh sorry I confused lists of potential suspects in mysteries.

                        Slight side note, Oxford's name has been associated with Shakespeare because of some works found by Anne Duncombe, who was actually a relative of Oxford's, and also of Bacon's.
