Re: Game used items stolen by wife
You should try and contact the wife, as she may offer a different version of the events, possibly with a divorce lawyer to back it up.

Re: Game used items stolen by wife
Did this happen or are you just asking to find what you could do if it ever happened. If it did happen like you are saying he would need to show proof that they were stolen, and if he did then their his.

Re: Game used items stolen by wife
One last note-- and I should say I have no opinion on the ownership of your items, and am offering no opinion on the coach--, but I once had a player's lawyer contact me to say an expensive item I won at auction was stolen from the player and I should return it. After minimal research by the auction house president, records showed that the item was not only never stolen from the player, but the player never owned it. I gave these facts to the lawyer, and he never returned message. So I learned that just because someone official claims something was stolen, doesn't automatically mean it was stolen.

Re: Game used items stolen by wife
I agree with Yanks. Even if they are stolen, he has to have proof of it. Legal recovery of items involves more than pointing at random things on the street and saying "That was stolen from me." You have to provide proof.

Re: Game used items stolen by wife
Remember that possession is 9/10 of the law! If you have them, he will need to prove that they legally belong to him. If they are that important to him, I'm sure they would be listed as going to him in divorce papers. The who's property is who's is all up to the court to decide and it will all be spelled out.
Even then he will be hard pressed to prove that THOSE shoes are indeed the ones that were stolen by his wife. I'm sure he wore many a pair through his career and can't positively keep track of all of them.
Enough with the legal stuff....your best bet is to get him to sign the shoes and offer him to add a note to her COA with some kind references to her. I'm sure getting to deface (or add in our opinions) her COA would be very therapeutic for him. In the end you end up with a one of a kind COA and a great collectibe.

Re: Game used items stolen by wife
Jim may want those cleats back when he has to fend off all the guys in prison which he should be sent to after killing that person drinking & driving.

Re: Game used items stolen by wife
Do you know him or her personally? You write as though you do.
I'm sure there are divorce papers covering who got what, if you want the cleats that bad tell him to produce some backup for his claim they were "stolen" or are his under the divorce settlement.
Of course, you can count on never getting them signed if you fight him over this.
But, given his legal problems these days, he's about as likely as O.J. to come after you over these...
Oh wait, hmmm. Well, at least stay away from Vegas if you decide to keep 'em.

Re: Game used items stolen by wife
Hi
I don't know Jim personally, but i know some of his people. He has in the past signed some of my game used items and personalized them. Something he doesn't like to do. I had an opportuntity to buy the cleats so i did. I never thought they would be stolen.
Thanks
Jason
