At Least They Didn't Swipe His Underwear

Sidney Crosby might want to keep a closer eye on his luggage. A US Airways spokesman said today that a jersey worn by the No. 1 draft pick during his first NHL game had been found two days after having been reported stolen from his bag.

The shirt was found wrapped in plastic at the bottom of a stairway used to load suitcases onto planes at Pittsburgh International Airport. Crosby's father, who had accompanied him from Pittsburgh to Buffalo, N.Y., for the Penguins' tilt with the Sabres, noticed that one of Crosby's two bags was partially unzipped and the sweater missing when he picked it up at baggage claim.

"Someone saw my name on that [claim tag]," Crosby was reported by the Associated Press as saying. "They took a look inside and hit the jackpot."

This wasn't the first time a valuable jersey of Crosby's was removed from his belongings. In January, his Canadian national team sweater was stolen by a baggage handler.
