A taxi driver who unwittingly acted as a getaway driver following a burglary on a student house returned the victim's laptop after the burglar made off from his cab without paying the fare.
An intoxicated Dean Price broke into the shared student house in the dead of night and stole a computer containing course work along with a number of "designer jumpers" while his victim was out.
Swansea Crown Court heard when the victim returned home and found an untidy search had been made of is room he initially thought his housemates were playing a prank on him - until an email arrived from the Good Samaritan cabbie.
