US legal loophole finds Empire State Building "stolen"
A serious flaw in the system for recording property transactions in New York allowed a newspaper reporter to 'steal' the Empire State Building with a fake deed. The reporter used a notary seal with the name of a famous bank robber Willie Sutton and listed King Kong actress Fay Wray as a witness in his undercover investigation.

Don't worry. He gave it back.
