Mark Oliver, 20, convicted of handling Victoria "Posh Spice" Beckham's stolen luggage after it was reported missing from London's Heathrow airport in June of last year, was sentenced in a London courtroom on Friday to 15 months in a young offenders' institution, reports Reuters. Oliver, a garbage collector, was found guilty at Isleworth Crown Court in January on two counts of handling stolen goods. Beckham had testified at his trial, saying how much the contents of her four pieces of Louis Vuitton luggage meant to her.
