that's why it's called a smash and grab. thieves like that don't hang around to pick and choose, just grab the bag and go.

there is a chance that the books are probably dumped off somewhere under a hedge or in a dumpster nearby.

i would suggest the OP do a walkaround of the neighborhood of the area and see if the stolen stuff that can't be pawned off might be lying around.
