When I was in the Air Force a long long while back my parents decided to toss out those boxes of old books I had, including a first edition of "The Swiss Family Robinson". On the one hand, I had only paid 99 cents for it. On the other, it really was worth about a thousand dollars back then, and who knows what today.
Your friend has my heart felt sympathy.

In the hope that the following is a one off piece of delivery genius:
One of my friends had a parcel delivered by Parcelforce yesterday. He wasn't in, but was expecting an expensive eBay purchase from Australia (a book). Instead of trying next door, the delivery driver put a note through his letter box to state he had put it under the lid of his wheeled rubbish bin. Every one in his road had a bin out near the kerb yesterday. When he came in from work, having put the empty bin back, he opened his front door to find that note.
