They lost the FDR Bible and so the natural place to look was the garbage dumpsters?

Via NY Post:

The FDR bible used by Mayor Bill de Blasio for his swearing in vanished after the New Year’s Day ceremony, sparking a panicked, hours-long search for the historic tome.

“They had the whole detail looking through blankets,’’ a police source said of the scramble by at least 50 NYPD detectives and city officials to find the Bible, which was given to President Franklin Delano Roosevelt as a gift at his first inauguration in March 1933.

Former President Bill Clinton performed the ceremony Wednesday as de Blasio laid his hand on the bible.

But around 2:30 pm, the bible was nowhere to be found, a source said, sparking a massive book-hunt at City Hall.

“We were looking in garbage cans outside, in all the bags,” one searcher said.

“It’s the FDR Bible!” said another.

When it was found, just before 5 pm, one of the detectives held it aloft at the top of the stairs in the rotunda, shouting, “We found it!’’ as a crowd broke out in applause.
