Giants' Zak DeOssie Reported His Super Bowl Rings Stolen, Actually Left Them On Top Of His Car
Samer Kalaf
Last month Zak DeOssie thought his championship rings were purloined, but a police investigation concluded that the Giants long snapper had done what many people have with coffee mugs, briefcases, and other items they forget about while getting into their car.
According to a May 6 police report filed with the Summit (N.J.) Police Department, DeOssie lost his Super Bowl rings for the 2007 and 2011 seasons as he left a charity event at the Grand Summit Hotel on May 2. DeOssie said he briefly set down the box containing his rings so that he could open the door after his wife unlocked the car. When he arrived home, he couldn’t find the box. He checked the hotel’s security camera footage but couldn’t find any sign of the rings in the parking lot.
Although the initial police report was for “theft,” the incident became much less scandalous after the supplementary report, which was also filed with Summit PD. The assigned detective determined from his investigation that DeOssie had actually left the ring box on top of his car when he drove away from the hotel, and that was how Summit resident David Smith found a smashed glass box with one Super Bowl ring on Manor Hill Road near the intersection of Pine Grove Avenue.
I asked DeOssie and his agent whether the other ring had turned up, but didn’t receive a reply. That 2007 ring is somewhere out there, or possibly in a landfill.
