Buffalo Bills legend and Pro Football Hall of Famer Andre Reed reported feeling “violated” after someone ransacked his London hotel room last week, stealing, among other valuables, his Hall of Fame ring.
Reed and his wife, Theresa Villano Reed, were in London for the Bills-Jaguars game at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium and events leading up to it. While Reed was at an appearance, someone entered the couple’s room and stole the ring, other jewelry, shoes, purses and the pair’s passports.
“UK police are on it but it’s a sad world,” Reed tweeted. “Emergency passports were acquired. Feeling unsafe & violated. Can’t even stay in hotels safely anymore. Need to be better people.”
Reed was elected to the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 2014, was a seven-time Pro Bowler and was Jim Kelly’s go-to slot receiver.
His 951 career receptions (87 TDs) were third most all-time when he retired. Reed and Kelly combined for 663 of those receptions and the former Kutztown State receiver finished with 13,198 yards.
