        There are two ways to be fooled, one is to believe what isn't true, the other is to refuse to believe that which is true.

            I'm betting an otherwise respectable seeming Victorian took it. Probably for a seance.

                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!
