The Wright brothers’ airplane patent, along with photos taken by astronauts on the moon, are among the items that have been stolen from the National Archives. Tonight, “60 Minutes” takes a look at some of the thefts, along with a recovery team formed by the Archives that is working to find the stolen items. A con man behind bars for the largest theft of historic artifacts in U.S. history is also featured in the episode, airing at 7 p.m. (Eastern) on CBS.
