Over 3,000 stolen items which included books, antiquities, and letters written by popes and kings, were found in a Berwyn home in March of 2007 after the resident, John Sisto's death. His two sons found the artifacts while going through the house on South Elmwood Avenue. After a two-year investigation by Berwyn police and the FBI,they determined that many of the items were removed illegally from Italy. The value of the stolen artifacts ranged from $5 million to $10 million.
That's just crazy this man lived so long without anybody noticing the amount of artifacts he "purchased." I mean even his sons did not have a clue about what their father was up to. $5 million dollars is a lot of money! Just imagine what "one" of those artifacts probably costed.

I can't beleive this man! How could he get away with so many artifacts?
ReplyDeleteHe stole all this stuff? How? I mean, getting it out of one country, out of a museum first, then the country, then into another. What a story -- and it died with him!
