Native Philadelphian Robbed of Cowboys Memorabilia
Bruce Marziani, a lifelong Philadelphian who is inexplicably a fan of the division rival Dallas Cowboys, was recently robbed of over $3,000 in football memorabilia while attending a Cowboys game. He flew down to Dallas to catch last week's Monday Night Football Game between the Eagles and Cowboys. While he was at the game his hotel room was broken into.
"When I was just a young guy, my parents came home with an Eagles jacket for me. I don't remember if it was for my birthday or for Christmas, but I made sure to let them know that one was going back. We were going to do things the right way," said Marziani.
Some of the football memorabilia Marziani brought with him on his trip to Dallas included a mini helmet signed by Troy Aikman and a 75th anniversary official NFL Cowboy game autographed program. He brought these and other items hoping to get more players to sign them.
"All of a sudden I know, I've gotta get on my plane and I'm a bag short and my memorabilia's gone," said Marziani.
Marziani said money cannot replace what's been taken, but he had hoped to get some restitution from the hotel where he was staying. Unfortunately for Marziani, the hotel told him that they are not able to reimburse him for his loss since their policy is to have visitors lock major valuables up at the front desk - which he neglected to do.
