"Respectfully Mine" by Randall Garrett is a science fiction novel written during the mid-20th century. The narrative centers around Leland Hale, a clever and resourceful crook known for his ability to steal and manipulate situations to his advantage. The story unfolds in a futuristic setting where interstellar travel and police units exist, highlighting Hale's escapades as he attempts to outsmart the law while pursuing a valuable artistic treasure. In this fast-paced tale, Leland Hale infiltrates the art world on the relatively obscure planet of Apfahl to exploit the opening of a time capsule that supposedly holds a significant piece of work by the renowned artist R. Philipp Dachboden. As the plot thickens, Dr. Rudolf Mier, the director of the local Museum of Cultural History, becomes involved, unwittingly aiding Hale in his cunning scheme. With an impending opening that garners significant attention, Hale engineers a plan to switch the time capsules, leading to a remarkable crescendo where his deceptive tactics are revealed. The story concludes with Hale having successfully eluded capture, leaving others, including political figures and law enforcement, to grapple with the fallout of his audacious heist, highlighting themes of cleverness, deception, and the intricacies of fame and legacy.
