Library thief caught selling rare books on eBay

An antiquarian book expert thought it looked too good to be true -- a 1654 volume of John Donne's poetry up for sale on eBay. And he was right, that book and over 400 others were stolen from Manchester Library in England -- busted!

The pilfered books included a 16th Century Chaucer edition valued at nearly $70,000.
