Plausible - but, being that the Bible is also one of the largest selling and longest running books in history, this claim doesn’t seem all that odd. We couldn’t find any statistics on book theft, but we did come across the opinion of one book store owner in an article in the New York Times. When asked what the most frequently stolen title was:
“The Bible,” he said, without pausing.
Admittedly, this quote is not very concrete evidence; but given the bible got almost a 2000 year head start on other books (and is still widely published and in circulation today), we’ll say plausible.
original claim: @OMGFacts; sources: wikipedia, New York Times
