Modern (nearly) book curse

Book curses are most often associated with medieval volumes, but I ran across this today in a 1918 tome:
Whoever shall steal this book of knowledge shall graduate in Sing Sing College.

I like "God rot the crook who steals this book."

I have a book somewhere that has the Sing-Sing line, together with "In case of fire, throw this in."
