Archeological theft
It's good to be reminded that it's not just museums that buy stolen art.
Police seized some 1,000 ancient artifacts from a wealthy Italian man's country house outside Rome that were stolen from one of Emperor Trajan's villas, prosecutors said Wednesday.
He installed them as decorations, and damaged some of them in the process.
