Security at most archives is not that strict and people will take. In this case - waterboarding a few people from the TV crew might pay dividends, but we can't really do that. As Sheriff Humpy" Parker of San Jacinto County found out a few years ago. This news makes the opportunity we had a couple of years ago (My sister and I were in the Hall of State to arrange the donation of the World War Two-era set of Navy Blues we'd found in Dad's effects) to see and actually handle the Santa Anna spurs even more precious. Sure hope the reward leads to recovery. Sadly – not a great surprise. Security at most archives is not that strict and people will take.
