Couple Finds Stolen Goods At Ex-Neighbor’s

A Toronto couple who were invited to dinner at the home of a former neighbor thought some of the decorations looked familiar.

They were right. A valuable prayer rug and Chinese plate were theirs - stolen in a burglary two years before.

Martin Swinton, 33, was sentenced Friday to 10 months in jail for art theft. He admitted breaking into his former neighbors’ home while they were on vacation and his lawyer said his client feels remorseful.
