A Patti Smith fan has returned a bag of possessions to the singer, 36 years after they had allegedly been stolen.

The award-winning songwriter was conducting a reading of her memoir M Train, at Dominican University in Illinois on Sunday when a woman in the audience stood up and announced she had a bag of clothes that had belonged to Smith almost 40 years before, according to another audience member's account of the incident on a forum.
