Hall of Fame tennis player, Pam Shriver, said on Friday that her main trophies were returned at the beginning of this week to the Marina Del Rey Hotel in California, from where they were stolen at the beginning of this month.
Family photos were also returned with trophies, but there is a lack of a stolen vehicle that held trophies and photos.
Shriver and family members fled to the hotel to escape from Pacific Palisades fire in mid -January. On the morning of January 16, she discovered that her Dodge Durango Hellcat, who kept five American trophies, five French plates, one Australian open trophy and family photos.
This week, the hotel manager called her and said that employees found trophies and photos near the hotel on Monday morning. After receiving the phone, Shriver said that she had informed police detectives who raised trophies to squeeze them with a finger. Then on Tuesday she raised trophies from the police station.
Later, the police discovered a recording of a safety camera from the neighboring business that someone returned the trophies from the car that said Shriver “a bit fit, description” of its stolen Dodge Durango Hellcat.
She said that this relief is to regain her trophies.
“It wasn’t a fondness for me,” she said. “Trophies also have a fairly reasonable value.”
Shriver said that she did not believe that the trophies were to be stolen, only a car.
“Trophies were in the wrong place at the wrong time,” she said. “For 10 days they were where they were. I would like my trophies to be able to speak. I think it would be really interesting to hear from them. “
After the news came out of her stolen trophies, Shriver said that she was feeling supported by a tennis community around the world and heard from people from the whole trip to tennis.
“I think that the word about trophies helped them recover,” she said, adding that she thinks that the tennis community, including Hall of Fame and other entities, on the web, to help in the return of trophies.
Shriver returned to the Brentwood house in California. Despite the fact that her house was unscathed, she described the fire as “one of the most influential things” she experienced.
“It was really a challenge to be the head of the household,” said Shriver. “I am basically a decision maker of my home and my children.”
