Stealing books here does indeed appear to be literature as sport, but it's often not sport rather obsessive passion for books, especially rare and unaffordable books, that drives the theft. A desire to own a first edition of an author's work, or simply a gorgeously bound and illustrated book of great value.

Love this poem and shared it on Facebook. Will order Murray's books so I can read more of his work.
