(KSL News) -- A thief stole some rare books from the LDS Institute of
Religion on the University of Utah campus. 

Police believe the theft happened sometime between October 24th and November
8th. They say the robber took a small safe from the institute office. 

The safe held two rare copies of the Book of Mormon. One is the 1840 Nauvoo
edition and the other is the 1841 Liverpool edition. Each book is worth
about 20-thousand dollars. 

Police believe the thief might have been looking for money, not knowing what
the safe contained. 

Detective Mike McPHarline: "At this point in time we've not received any
firm information that would point us in any particular direction. But we're
looking in many driections right now. We have a lot of little things that
we're researching." 

Anyone with information should contact the University of Utah police
department.
