Police in Rome say they've uncovered a massive trove of artifacts at the home of a 74-year-old man, who is accused of plundering the items from archeological sites in Italy.

Well, the good news is they got the artefacts back. The bad news is that there are now 9,000 fewer artefacts in archaeologically secure and useful contexts.
