First the Chief, Now the Left Fielder?!
Apparently, while the Nats were gone on their road trip, someone engaged in a brazen daylight burglary spree at RFK stadium:
A security videotape captured four men entering the RFK lots in a black Dodge Ram extended cab truck at about 1:15 p.m. Monday and breaking into 11 vehicles, said D.C. Police Inspector Andy Solberg.
They came back on Wednesday and jacked Marlon Byrd’s Escalade, as well, taken his car and damaging a few other players’ cars. The players are, of course, quite furious about the whole thing, and The Post couldn’t print Byrd’s reaction in its expletive-laden entirety. Not that I blame them in the slightest.
And people are saying car theft isn’t a problem in DC? Get real!
Based on last year’s numbers, if you average them out across 356 days you get about 22 per day, meaning every square mile in the district has a car stolen every day.
