Burns' valuables stolen from car

MONTREAL - The morning after her husband's funeral, Pat Burns' widow made a shocking discovery: Her car had been broken into, and valuables including his collection of autographed hockey sweaters had been stolen.

Montreal police said yesterday the thieves would have known whose belongings they were taking.

"They went through his stuff," said Constable Anie Lemieux, noting Burns' wallet was in the car. "The person who left with the shirts and everything knows that this is Pat Burns' stuff."

Burns, who coached the Devils to the 2003 Stanley Cup title, died Nov. 19 at age 58 after a long battle with cancer. - AP
