Most of Pete Sampras' tennis trophies stolen
http://www.palmbeachpost.com/sports/tennis/most-of-pete-sampras-tennis-trophies-stolen-1106321.html

Tennis star Pete Sampras says most of his trophies and other memorabilia were stolen from a West Los Angeles public storage facility.

The Los Angeles Times reported Tuesday that Sampras still has 13 of his 14 grand slam trophies.

But thieves took most of the hardware from his 64 tour title wins, two Davis Cups, an Olympic ring and six trophies for finishing world No. 1 in the year-end rankings from 1993 to 1998.

The theft happened three weeks ago. Sampras says he's getting the word out in hopes somebody offers a lead.

1. Who keeps an Olympic ring in a storage facility?
I feel bad for Sampras, and understand that displaying more than 100 trophies can be tough, but I thought the Olympic ring would be something that "made the cut" when it comes time to determine which to keep at the house and which to put in storage.

2. If they were in storage he didn't give a shit about them.
End of story.
