I can't believe this fool walked out the door with this and now is troubled he might have to pay a price.

Leave it to the French to value something involving surrender.

"I took out hundreds of documents from there, if not more," Rooney said. And now many can't be found. What a jerk.

Ooops wrong Rooney
To: Last Dakotan
He's a history professor, and he has the audacity to steal an important historical document? Time that he learned what happens when you steal something.

Maybe he saw too many "B" serials in the 1930s and 40s:

Five years later, the two men were tried in U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York on charges of possessing, transporting and conspiring to sell stolen goods. The U.S. attorney's office in New York didn't have jurisdiction to charge Rooney for theft. At the time, Rooney and Pierce were living together in Tennessee. Rooney, who resigned from Marquette in 1992, had moved there to work for the University of the South in Sewanee, where he served as a visiting professor in 1995 and 1996. Pierce, 30 years Rooney's junior, was described in press articles at the time as a student of history and an aspiring novelist. They sound like quite the couple . . . .
The article also says that Rooney was known as a "flamboyant" teacher and had "a following". I'll bet.
To: Last Dakotan
Let's put some pieces together, shall we?
1) "A professor of 19th century history, Rooney made an impression on students and colleagues alike, said James Marten, chair of the university's history department.
"He was very flamboyant," Marten said. "
2) "In 2002, a federal court in New York convicted Rooney of conspiracy to transport stolen property after his friend, Marshall Lawrence Pierce, put the treaty up for auction."
3) "At the time, Rooney and Pierce were living together in Tennessee."
Hmmm.
Flamboyant, living with his "friend."
Hmmm.
Just sayin'....

Yeah, I wondered if he stuffed it in his pants like Sandy Burglar did.
