rols and steal

  • Thursday, July 28, 2022

Las Vegas - NO ONE ever loses. If youre on Twitter, Instagram, Snapchat or Discord, you would think that no one ever loses a bet. EVERY stinkin handicapper has a phenomenal record, with a bulging wallet. Lemme bring you a little dose of reality. I LOSE! We ALL lose! Which brings me to the incredible Wander Franco story.
Before the baseball season started, I threw down a handful of chips on Franco to win the American League MVP at a DELICIOUS 15/1. Why not. Wander was the No. 1 prospect in baseball and was coming off a solid effort in the ALDS against the Red Sox, batting .368 with two home runs, four RBIs and a sky-high 1.158 OPS. Sadly, Francos 2022 season has been cut short by wrist surgery, so, yeah, that bet is a big fat LOSS!
However, not as much as Wander lost when a burglar stole more than $650,000 worth of jewelry from his SUV. So, SUV, huh? The SUV in the story is a FREAKING Rolls-Royce Cullinan that goes for $563,000. Thats just for the basic trim level. My question is, is there ANYTHING BASIC about $563,000???
Forget about the $650,000 bucks in bling for a second and lemme tell you the problems that jump out at me.
Franco was staying at a DoubleTree hotel. Weve stayed at many DoubleTrees and NEVER EVER seen a Rolls-Royce Cullinan in the parking lot. Raise your hand if youve stayed at a DoubleTree and seen a Rolls. Anyone. Ill wait... thought so.
So, Wander, heres the plan moving forward. Get a Toyota Camry. DO NOT put a safe in the car, especially a CHEAPO $60 model. And if youre gonna take jewelry, get some fakes made and leave em in the car.
If youre wondering what was stolen, heres the list.
- $300,000 gold, diamond-encrusted Cuban link chain with diamonds and a W in the center.
- $200,000 rose gold Cuban link chain with diamonds.
- $70,000 gold pendant with a medallion in green and blue lettering spelling FRANCO 5.
- $44,000 Platinum Rolex watch with diamonds.
- $20,000 American League championship ring.
- $5,000 gold pendant of Jerry the mouse from the Tom and Jerry cartoon.
As a side note, I DO NOT own any gold, diamond-encrusted Cuban link chains, a Rolex or anything to do with 'Tom and Jerry.' But I do have a $79.99 Timex that works like a champ, a six-year-old silver Camry and a Mickey Mouse pinky ring!!!
