The Carnegie Library in Pittsburgh has just announced that 314 book and
maps have been stolen.
Although this was noticed about a year ago, it has only just been
publicised.
There is a 7-page PDF list, which I have not had time to trawl through,
but the Map Room blog notes that it "includes maps by Hondius, Jefferys,
Ogilby and Ortelius, as well as two copies of the Italian translation of
Ptolemy’s /Geography/."
