Posted by Paul Constant on Thu, Nov 27, 2008 at 11:41 AM
Hitler's bookmark has been found in Bellevue:
An 18-carat gold bookmark reportedly owned by Adolf Hitler and stolen from an auction house in Spain six years ago has been recovered by American authorities in an undercover operation halfway around the world.Christian Popescu, a Romanian national, was arrested Tuesday outside a Bellevue Starbucks after trying to sell the bookmark to an undercover agent for $100,000, according to papers filed in U.S. District Court in Seattle.
This is the best Thanksgiving ever, now that Hitler's bookmark is back in the hands of authorities.

I think the inscription from Ava is the best part. The fact that she gave it to him to cheer him up after losing Stalingrad makes me laugh.

I am just glad that the authorities can now refocus their attention to the puzzle of who stole Goering's letter opener.

So glad I got to watch this go down. Hooray for bullet proof vests and semi-automatic rifles in downtown Bellevue.
