absolutely amazes me with the amount of time and tax payer money was put into this incident is outrageous. We have programs in this country that are vital to many that will not be funded at the same level...but we trek out of the country with tons of tax dollars to track down a missing Jersey of a player that was involved in a scandel involving the inflation or deflation of a football..which could of led to his success. Personally I could care less about him or his jersey...I do care that resources that should be better utilized...were used in this case..like the FBI. seriously putting the FBI on the case of the missing Jersey..Sounds like something Nancy Drew and the Hardy Boys did.
@CouponQueen- no resources out of the norm were dedicated to the theft. A valuable piece of property was stolen; that is a crime. It was traced out of Country, thus the FBI is involved. If someone took a piece of your valued jewelry and it was traced to Mexico, you would get the same response. Dir Comey wasn't involved (lol), there is a special unit. Brady was not guilty of any "crime" and nothing was ever proven....people just hate Brady because he is just that d*amn good, a devoted dad and son plus was never in any trouble; I guess the wife batterers and rapists in the NFL are just fine with people....his performance in this year's game was never accomplished and he is one of the best to ever play the game. This Jersey has significance to a collector and is deemed by experts to be the most valuable collectable today. Plus, it was significant to Brady himself who dedicated the Super Bowl to his mom, who is fighting cancer. Brady does give a lot to charity, especially kids and maybe he wanted to give the jersey to his mom...but it is his to give...they didn't "put anyone on the case". That's how the FBI works...
I have a feeling if someone stole a piece of my jewelry and it went out of the country, no one else would care but me. Is it true that the FBI would get involved? It seems implausible. But I've been wrong in my life...
@Kalli- if you report it and it's valuable and it goes to another Country, they will
@Stray that's interesting. We had a tenant steal furniture valued at over $2000 from us when he moved out. Reported it to state police. Did a little online research of social sites and found the guy moved to a neighboring state. Told the state police the town he'd moved to. NOTHING ever happened.
Title 18, United States Code, Sections 2314 and 2315
Interstate Transportation of Stolen Property (ITSP): Prohibit the transportation in interstate or foreign commerce of any goods of the value of $5,000 or more where the goods are known to have been stolen, converted or taken by fraud. These statutes also prohibit the receipt and sale of such known stolen goods.
Prosecutive guidelines are established by the United States Attorney in each federal judicial district.
