    The New York Post (http://bit.ly/KkUXHi) reports that about 50 NYPD detectives and other city officials searched city hall for the bible, first given to FDR at his first inauguration in 1933.

    A detective found just before 5 p.m.

    Library director Lynn Bassanese loaned the bible to de Blasio for the ceremony. She said she planned to personally bring the book to the swearing-in, and vowed to carry it back to the library herself after the ceremony.

    She did not immediately return a call for comment.

    Former President Bill Clinton performed the ceremony Wednesday.

    Probably,some liberal member of the team thought that it was part of a new welfare benefit give-away program.I doubt that they would ever really read it.
    (P.S.-Police : checkout all the security cameras and as the French used to say
    before they started speaking Arabic-“chechez la femme”.

    The article above says the following “A detective found just before 5 p.m.” so it sounds like (based somewhat on the wording) that it was found.
