The Rutland (Vermont) Herald reveals Alleged burglar hosts a yard sale:
WHITE RIVER JUNCTION - A Cavendish man has been charged with burglarizing his neighbor's home and then holding a three-day yard sale to sell about $30,000 worth of goods, even giving out sales receipts in the process.Nice fishing pole, Clem. It looks just like mine!
Stewart Fuller, 41, of Knapp Road in Cavendish pleaded innocent Monday to two felony counts of unlawful trespass and grand larceny after Roger and Shirley Labelle returned from Michigan to find their home ransacked and various neighbors in possession of their property.
The case involves a number of people, but Vermont State Police allege it was Fuller who masterminded the efforts to loot the Labelle residence while they were away in August and September. Police also allege it was Fuller who sold everything from a collection of NASCAR model cars to the lawn tractors, china, tools and furniture he found in their house and garage.
Fuller admitted taking items from the Fuller residence and he gave police a sworn statement saying that he took them to the residence of Michael Marro, 42, of Gould Road in Weathersfield, where the yard sale was held.

Marro told detectives he remembered selling Indian artifacts, figurines, toys, tools, chain saws, faucets, a satellite dish and receiver, videos, stuffed animals, picture frames, candlesticks, costume jewelry, baseball cards and fishing poles, along with numerous other items he couldn't recall. When police arrived to question Marro, he still had several tables covered with the Labelles' items that had not been sold, including stereos, toolboxes, watches, jumper cables and a computer printer.
