Thief Steals Pete Sampras's trophies During his legendary tennis career, Pete Sampras earned dozens of trophies, medals and plaques for his on-court achievements and acquired the treasure trove of memorabilia you'd expect from one of the most famous athletes in America. Most of it is now gone, stolen from a storage unit in which Sampras had been keeping the objects. The 14-time Grand Slam champion told Bill Dwyre of the Los Angeles Times that he discovered the theft three weeks ago. The 14 Grand Slam trophies Sampras won are safe, with the exception of the award from the 1994 Australian Open. The other 13 are at his home or in Portland's NikeTown. Everything else, though -- the 64 trophies from non-majors, rewards from his two Davis Cup wins, an Olympic ring, his six year-end trophies for finishing No. 1 -- was stolen. Sampras said he doesn't know whether the memorabilia was targeted or whether the thieves wanted to take his furniture (also stored in the units) and ended up with a lot more. http://sports.yahoo.com/tennis/blog...ke-nearly-every-trophy-Sampras?urn=ten-293241
if he really liked those trophies, then why put them in storage...why not display them in your home... on another note, his wife is hawt...
"Veronica Vaughn... Soooo hot...want to touch the hiney..." "That Veronica Vaughn is one piece of ace, I know from experience " :grin:
He put them storage along with some furniture because he was in the process of moving into another house.
Might be too obvious but they should check whoever was working that day and whether they tipped anyone off.
