(KSL News) -- All but one of the rare LDS books stolen recently have been recovered.
Last week, thieves broke into the Daughters of Utah Pioneers Museum through a window. Once inside, they went directly to this display case and took 14 rare LDS texts, including two first edition copies of the Book of Mormon and early foreign language copies.
A tip led police and postal inspectors to mailboxes in West Valley City this morning. They found an envelope addressed to, "President Hinckley, LDS Church, Important." Inside were two copies of the Book of Mormon, including one in Italian.
Lt. Tony Garcia, Commander, State Bureau of Investigation: "One of the most highly-priced books out of all the books was this Italian version, first edition. So a very important book to recover."
Last week, police recovered 11 of the rare books and arrested Robert Lindsay of Magna, who is cooperating with police.
