 In April 2008, Bret Eborn purchased two old editions of the Book of Mormon for $11,000 at his store in the Valley Fair Mall in West Valley City.Later the same evening he discovered that the books had been stolen from the Daughters of Utah Pioneers Museum several days before, along with 11 other rare books.Upon verifying the proper ownership of the books much later that night, Eborn contacted the Salt Lake City Police Department (SLCPD) and turned over the artifacts.
