What's an apostrophe thief?

"The Apostrophe Thief" is definitely the better of the two Barbara Paul books I've read. In fact, the title for this book is the reason I picked both of them up. I was fascinated by the title. What is an Apostrophe Thief? Does he steal the apostrophe from "it's" to make it "its?" Well, it is the name of a Braodway play that has been burglarized for items that can be re-sold to collerctors. The book includes fascinating insight to compulsive collectors of memorabilia. This book was written pre-Ebay so all of the collecors have to connect by word of mouth or at auctions so there are lots of offbeat characters to meet. I give this book an "A-".
