The
Bible does no good as a
thief repellent.
I can comprehend the very basic logic used to justify such an idea, though we can more or less look at reality to see it's not quite true. For example, consider the number of people who claim to be Christian, who own and read the Bible, who still end up in prison.
But here's an even greater disproof of this idea.
A friend of mine worked for many years for Waldenbooks. She managed a number of different stores, around the area, including the one at the Woodfield Mall in Schaumburg, IL, a very large and busy mall.
One of the interesting things she discovered during her career in bookstore managment is that there was one book that was always stolen from the bookstore more than any other book. That book was The Bible.
From her experience, it would seem that perhaps hiding one's money, or other valuables, in their Bible is not such a good idea.
