He wasn't robbed, he was burgled.

for $1000 he could have bought a 1200 lb safe and kept his money and a whole slew of firearms safe.......wonder where he keeps his Polish Sausage ('Da Bears' Ping)

Dear Insurance Company,

I was robbed.

I had $30,000, the Hope Diamond, an autographed picture of Bigfoot, and a bottle of water from the fountain of youth sitting on my kitchen counter.

See, I've got the empty bag to prove it.

Please send the check to cover my loss by Friday.

Ricky may be a suspect...but they'll never recover the money.

It was likely spent on high-grade marijuana.

Sounds like some attempt at fraud to me.

Simple: Ditka likes cash.

So $30K is all Coach got for agreeing to not run for that open Senate seat?

I was going to say...it figures they robbed the place while he was gone. I don't think I'd want to try to rob that old man face to face.

That's what he gets for leaving his dog alone for almost six months.

$30K can only go so far for pizza, beer and chicken wings. Never mind the cost of the lawn service to pick up in the yard after his buddies leave after a night of watching reruns of A Boy and His Dog.

That wasn't robbery, it was larceny or burglary.

I wouldn't want to be the fool who tries to rob Mike Ditka.

That would be burglarized, not robbed.

Yep, see my #37.

"What you get" has a whole different meaning here.
