Since the subject seems to be of such interest, a quick update on developments in Svendscam since I last posted (or, for that matter, saw a Canadian news source -- I was in upstate New York, but I might as well have been in Uganda). For those as out of touch as me, we have since learned: 1) That the auction house reported the stolen ring to the RCMP, naming Robinson as the thief, on Easter Sunday, two days before Svend came round. 2) That Svend spoke at a public event that Saturday, where he showed no signs of the "agonizing" he said he had endured. His topic: personal ethics. 3) That Svend was shopping for a ring the previous Wednesday. To recap: Wednesday Svend shops for an expensive diamond ring. Friday he steals one. Saturday he appears in public. Sunday the theft is reported to the police. Tuesday he turns himself in. Thursday he holds a teary press conference. Make of it what you will. It appears Svend's riding association has. Commentary from Colby Cosh, Ezra Levant, Roy McGregor, and Charles Adler.
