There was a thief of famous old books from the monastery Mont Sainte-Odile in France / Alsace. As they found out after some time (riddled as he broke in several times without them noticing) the the thief entered through secret stairways and chambers. [1]
If I remember correctly the thief didn't try to sell them but hoarded them.
There are many other articles about the heist if you google for "Book Thief Mont Sainte-Odile".
