MARYSVILLE, Ohio — A central Ohio man’s heart sank when he realized that burglars had broken in and stolen a safe holding his most prized possession: a 300-year-old family Bible.
The Bible, written in German Gothic script and containing the handwritten dates of births, deaths, and marriages for seven generations of Tim Shier’s family, disappeared in the burglary in Marysville, in December 2011.

"But the couple who had bought it would not send it back without recouping the $405 they had paid for it. The Union County police union stepped up and covered the cost."
They had money and the desire to buy the Bible. Apparently they simply lacked understanding the message that was inside.
