Player Contacted Me About His Jersey For Sale

Re: Player Contacted Me About His Jersey For Sale

whoever he is he sounds dangerous and it appears now to be a scam. Which is something we all should be aware of. A real player would be very happy he finally found the jersey and would ordinarily be very cordial and willing to work it out. This guy sounds at best a drunk and at worst emotionally unstable. If you don't want to tell us the item tell us the outcome of the auction.

Was it a guy calling from a payphone going by the name Orenthal?

So it sounds like what is being implied by some is that those of us who have received game used items directly from players are actually receiving stolen goods? So a team could potentially come after any of us to recover the items that were stolen from them by the players?

I might be in the minority but I tend to think that items actually become property of a player once they are issued to them. Sure the team purchases them but they are given to a player for his use. It's sorta like if you give a gift to someone. It is now their property. Just because you purchased it doesn't still make you the owner. I just think that the majority of them don't really care and that is why you see lots of items being auctioned off by teams and sold at FanFests. I'm sure most players wouldn't have a clue about this issue if you asked them.

I'm sure the player who has contacted the member who started this thread probably believes in his heart that the jersey was his and was stolen. If it's really is him it sounds like he's going about it in the wrong way in trying to get it back. Just my two cents.

Technically, the player has no right to that jersey. Since the jersey was stolen from his locker, it was stolen from the team and not the player. It would be a different matter if it was stolen from his house since the jersey would be in his possession.
