Man pleads guilty to stealing rare Chinese manuscripts from UCLA with fake names

A Northern California man has pleaded guilty in a scheme to steal rare Chinese manuscripts from UCLA's library, using false identities and swapping in counterfeit copies to cover his tracks, prosecutors say, a case that drew in the FBI's art-crime specialists and put a value of roughly $216,000 on the stolen works.
