520 _aRefers to the case of a man who unwittingly purchased two stolen paintings from a street market, took them to Sotheby`s and found himself under suspicion by the police. He is now going to make a claim for the return of the paintings under the `market overt` law, dating from the 12th century; it allows people to keep stolen goods provided they were purchased between sunrise and sunset at certain open markets.
