Here is an interesting article by Jesper Düring Jørgensen that reads like a detective novel: http://www.creativem.com/ftp/incoming/JDJ-Report-of-books.pdf
(Care and Conservation of Manuscripts, Vol. 9, Museum Tusculanum Press, University of Copenhagen)
It has no real nelsonian content except that a scarse edition of Lady Hamilton's Attitudes was among the stolen books.
But the article reminds me of the theft of Nelson's gold medals at Greenwich Hospital Museum, of Nelson's Sheleng at NNM Greenwich and of the guineas from Davison's Cenotaph at Nelson Museum, Monmouth.
