Historic FDR Bible Went Missing for a Few Hours after NYC Mayors Swearing-In
New York Citys new mayor Bill De Blasio was officially sworn in on New Years Day, and he placed his hand on an old Bible that belonged to FDR during the ceremony. Its an important, historical tome presented by the FDR Presidential Library that was promptly lost and caused a panic for a few hours.
Yes, according to The New York Post, the Bible De Blasio swore in on went missing for a while, and city officials were on a manhunt of sorts for hours to try and find it.
They had the whole detail looking through blankets, a police source said of the scramble
But around 2:30 pm, the bible was nowhere to be found, a source said, sparking a massive book-hunt at City Hall. We were looking in garbage cans outside, in all the bags, one searcher said.

Luckily, someone finally found the Bible around 5 P.M., which elicited much applause from the crowd and some obvious sighs of relief from everyone who didnt want to find out just how angry presidential librarians can get.
