Probably - if the extract from the following website is correct - http://msn-list.te.verweg.com/2006-January/004134.html
If the New York Times were to compile a "Most Stolen Books" list, up near
the top would be the Beat Generation classics "Howl," by Alan Ginsberg, and
"On the Road," by Jack Kerouac. Also up there, not surprisingly, would be
"Steal This Book," the popular '70's hippie guide on how to live for free,
by Abbie Hoffman.
And topping the list, in some cities at least, would be none other than the
Holy Bible itself.
"It's true, it's absolutely true," says Kevin Finn, the manager at Book
People, an independent bookstore in Austin, Texas. "The most shoplifted book
is the Bible."
Why? "Perhaps people feel the Bible should be free," he says. "The average
King James Bible with a zipper is about 35 bucks."

I know that after the Munich massacre in 1972, all Bibles disappeared from the athletes' village. People needed comfort and found it in God's word.

Most stolen from: Probably. A lot of our proverbs come from the Bible (walk the extra mile, etc.)
Most stolen: The Gideons would hope so. They spend tons of money to put them in hotels around the world and you can take one if you want or need it.

If someone comes to your door to try and sell their religion to you, do you shut the door in their face or go to the toilet? Or both?
