Welcome to Cryptic Soup, your after-dark podcast. In this week's episode, join Thena and Kylee to discuss the heist of Transylvania University in 2004. Four students created a plan to steal some rare books from the schools Special Collection in the Rare Books Room, selling them for millions of dollars. Only problem? Well, there were a lot actually. Warren Lipka, Spencer Reinhard, Eric Borsuk, and Chas Allen II were not as smooth as they thought they were.
