So... I remember someone posting about the theft of the Enigma machine, or
perhaps machines.  (Damn.  Was it one, or more?  Or am I getting it
confused with the stolen Galileo manuscripts?)  It got returned, didn't it?


(Mechanomancering here.  You can see the potential, right?)

One enigma, stolen, sent to a TV broadcaster with parts missing.

http://news.bbc.co.uk/hi/english/uk/newsid_977000/977127.stm

It was actually mailed to BBC television presenter Jeremy Paxman, for no
apparant reason.

It makes you wonder, what clockwork would need 3 stolen encryption wheels
off a four-roter Enigma?

Another possibility is Mimeomancy.  If the original was destroyed and this
is a copy, there's another way this could be used for a charge.

Ah, I just love reading news in a UA frame of mind.
