I beginning to think if it's in or from Washington, it will steal you blind.

INSIDE WASHINGTON: Items missing from Archives - National Archives visitors know they'll find the Declaration of Independence, the U.S. Constitution and the Bill of Rights in the main building's magnificent rotunda in Washington. But they won't find the patent file for the Wright Brothers' Flying Machine or the maps for the first atomic bomb missions anywhere in the Archives inventory.

This and many other historical items that that the Archives once possessed are missing; some were stolen by researchers or rogue Archives employees; others simply disappeared without a trace. - U.S National Archives Records Administration

A chance to deny such evidence and cause heck for everyone else, now we have to doubt the outcome of the civil war battles. or that a man landed upon the moon when I seen it firsthand.
