The bonehead Knicks fan who went\u00a0viral for stealing a team-theme\u00a0city trash can has returned the stolen goods \u2014 and was slapped with $175 in fines for the dirty deed.<\/p>\n

\u201cHome sweet home,\u201d the sanitation department wrote on X next to a pic of the returned basket. \u201cWelcome back! We missed you!\u201d<\/p>\n

The orange and blue receptacle was pilfered after an \u201cincredibly stupid\u201d fan \u2013\u00a0identified by sources as recently-axed JPMorgan Chase exec Angie Baez\u00a0\u2013 dumped the trash onto Broadway and walked off with the city-owned receptacle, department officials told The Post.<\/p>\n

The new pic on X showed the trash bin outside what appeared to be sanitation offices.<\/p>\n

\u201cYes, this is the same basket that was in the video,\u201d department spokesman Vincent Gragnani said. \u201cIt was returned to us, we removed two stickers from it, and took the photo ourselves at our Worth Street Headquarters \u2013 no AI used.\u201d<\/p>\n

Gragnani said Baez turned over the stolen goods herself \u2013 and was hit with a $75 fine for littering and $100 for impeding Department of Sanitation operations, the max allowed by law.<\/p>\n

The high-profile theft went viral after a video posted on X captured Baez, fully decked out in Knicks gear, dump the trash on the sidewalk and walk away with the spoils.<\/p>\n

\n<\/div>\n

She was later snapped on the subway still lugging the basket.<\/p>\n

Baez, 40, did not answer the door at her Harlem home and did not return calls from The Post.<\/p>\n

JPMorgan Chase, where Baez worked as executive director of community and industry engagement, confirmed this week that, \u201cthe employee is no longer with the company.\u201d<\/p>\n

The victory parade marked a citywide celebration for the Knicks, who won their first NBA title in 53 years by defeating the San Antonio Spurs in five games.<\/p>\n
