He also added, “P.S. Mr. Mara, I’m insured, I got the loot, I just need permission.”
Weatherford also wrote that there was a string break-ins in his neighborhood when his ring was taken. “I gave my ring to my wife the night before after speaking at an event, (in the car) and….Well, if anyone sees a Super Bowl XLVI ring on eBay; with a name largely engraved on the side: WEATHERFORD (spelled like that:) Kindly text me,” he wrote before leaving his phone number.
No word on whether or not he has any leads, but keep an eye out just in case.
