stuffed bird collection

[Allan]

sentences in the UK are generally far less severe than for a smiler crime here in the USA, its been a long time since I looked but I don't think there recidivism rate is much different than ours.

Yeah, I don't think there's much of a recidivism rate for people who steal stuffed birds out of museums. However, this kid stole a national treasure that, from the accounts I read, is irreplaceable. He was either very lucky with the sentence or something else is at play.
As for the people who bought the stuffed birds or skins he was able to sell, was it really necessary?
